Integration of functional elements into fibre-reinforced host structures provides the possibility for in situ monitoring of the structural integrity of critical components. In this study, a vibration-based monitoring function has been developed that allows the structural integrity identification of critical components. For this purpose, signal analysis algorithms were developed to enable the estimation of damage-dependent modal damping. The analysed smart structure was a carbon fibre–reinforced epoxy composite plate with an integrated actuating/sensing system. The local material damping is a parameter especially sensitive to different failure modes of composites. In order to characterise the changes of this parameter resulting from impact events, dynamical mechanical analysis on intact and damaged specimens made of the composite material was conducted. Based on the dynamical mechanical analysis results, a finite element model of the structure was developed. Then, modal damping ratios for different sizes and locations of damaged regions were numerically determined, and a relation between modal damping and damage-dependent local damping was identified. The deterministic decision trees describing the reverse relationship between online-measured modal damping and damage condition were determined. That was accomplished through the application of information entropy-based data-mining algorithms to the numerically generated learning dataset obtained using the developed finite element model.
