ABSTRACT

This study introduces GAT-CAMDA, a novel framework for the structural health monitoring (SHM) of composite materials under temperature-induced variability, leveraging the powerful feature extraction capabilities of Graph Attention Networks (GATs) and advanced domain adaptation (DA) techniques. By combining Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) and Correlation Alignment (CORAL) losses with a domain-discriminative adversarial model, the framework achieves scalable alignment of feature distributions across temperature domains, ensuring robust damage detection. A simple yet at the same time efficient data augmentation process extrapolates damage behaviour across unmeasured temperature conditions, addressing the scarcity of damaged-state observations. Hyperparameter optimisation via Optuna not only identifies the optimal settings to enhance model performance, achieving a classification accuracy of 95.83% on a benchmark dataset, but also illustrates hyperparameter significance for explainability. Additionally, the GAT architecture’s attention demonstrates the importance of various sensors, enhancing transparency and reliability in damage detection. The dual use of Optuna serves to refine model accuracy and elucidate parameter impacts, while GAT-CAMDA represents a significant advancement in SHM, enabling precise, interpretable, and scalable diagnostics across complex operational environments.
