Abstract

The purpose of this work is to discuss the possibility of the concept of physical reservoir computing (PRC) in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) by regarding the target structure of SHM as the physical reservoir. To this end, the dynamics of the structure, which is assumed extrinsically linear, is tailored to be strongly nonlinear by installing nonlinear attachments. Our purpose is then to detect the change occurred in this augmented physical reservoir. As one possible methodology to achieve this, we propose in this study to train the output layer to learn a specific nonlinear mapping of the input so that the increase of the error may indicate the change of the reservoir. Numerical experiments are presented to examine the validity of the proposed concept.
