The paper presents a method for detecting and classifying damage in wind turbine blades using aerodynamic pressure measurements from the Aerosense system. A convolutional neural network was trained on data from a NACA 633418 airfoil mounted on a vibrating cantilever, where damage was introduced via saw cuts. The study also incorporates physics-based insights and explainable ML techniques to interpret how damage affects dynamic response and pressure fields, enhancing transparency and robustness of the monitoring pipeline.

Guided wave-based structural health monitoring (GWSHM) with onboard transducers offers significant potential for the early diagnosis of damage in engineering structures. However, the practical deployment of deep learning models is often hindered by the limited availability of labelled experimental data and the high computational cost of generating large-scale high-fidelity simulation datasets.

Kolmogorov Arnold networks (KAN) have recently been introduced as a (deep) neural network architecture whose trainable parameters adapt the activation functions, instead of the coefficients of the affine transformations at the core of traditional architectures such as deep multilayer perceptrons (MLPs). This architecture builds on the Kolmogorov-Arnold theorem, which endows it with universal approximation properties.

The paper presents a data‑driven framework that predicts long‑term fluid–structure interaction dynamics for a flexible plate undergoing flow‑induced vibration. It uses a stiffness‑conditioned neural evolution operator that jointly models the Eulerian flow field and the Lagrangian structural state, employing a hybrid CNN‑Transformer architecture with bidirectional cross‑attention. The operator accurately captures three stiffness‑dependent response regimes, preserves key flow and structural features over 1000‑step rollouts, and can interpolate to unseen stiffness values, while a differentiable aerodynamic‑force module based on derivative‑moment transformation enables accurate lift and drag reconstruction.
