The paper presents a data‑augmentation framework that uses conditional generative adversarial networks and Monte Carlo dropout to synthesize structural response signals with quantified uncertainty. The synthetic signals are rigorously compared to experimental data from a BAE Systems Hawk T1A aircraft, showing accurate capture of dominant dynamics and realistic statistical properties. The study evaluates whether the augmented data can improve supervised damage classification and demonstrates the framework’s potential as a digital twin for safety‑critical aerospace structural health monitoring.

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.

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 paper examines how varying input noise characteristics—type, scale, and complexity—affect neural network robustness in geophysical tasks such as first break picking and denoising. By training models on fixed noise settings and testing them on both seen and unseen noise scenarios, the study constructs a robustness matrix that reveals how larger noise scales improve generalization and how aligning noise type with task complexity and architecture maximizes performance. Training with compound noise mixtures further mitigates weaknesses of single-noise training, acting as an implicit regularizer that enhances robustness under out‑of‑distribution conditions.
