Damage Tracking and Identification in 3D-Printed Polymeric Beam Structures

As additive manufacturing becomes applicable in structural engineering, structural degradation and structural health monitoring on structures with 3D-printed materials/substructures become imperative. This project targets monitoring the damage evolution in 3D-printed polymeric structures using a non-parametric data-driven modeling technique, phase space warping, to practically track damages induced by the defect and material anisotropy.
