On-line prognosis of fatigue crack propagation can offer information for optimizing operation and maintenance strategies in real-time. This paper proposes a Lamb wave-particle filter (LW-PF)-based method for on-line prognosis of fatigue crack propagation which takes advantages of the possibility of on-line monitoring to evaluate the actual crack length and uses a particle filter to deal with the crack evolution and monitoring uncertainties. The piezoelectric transducers (PZTs)-based active Lamb wave method is adopted for on-line crack monitoring. The state space model relating to crack propagation is established by the data-driven and finite element methods. Fatigue experiments performed on hole-edge crack specimens have validated the advantages of the proposed method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16030320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,3]],"date-time":"2016-03-03T10:30:47Z","timestamp":1457001047000},"page":"320","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":39,"title":["Research on a Lamb Wave and Particle Filter-Based On-Line Crack Propagation Prognosis Method"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jian","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control of Mechanical Structures, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 29 Yudao Street, Nanjing 210016, China"}]},{"given":"Shenfang","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control of Mechanical Structures, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 29 Yudao Street, Nanjing 210016, China"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Qiu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control of Mechanical Structures, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 29 Yudao Street, Nanjing 210016, China"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control of Mechanical Structures, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 29 Yudao Street, Nanjing 210016, China"}]},{"given":"Weibo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control of Mechanical Structures, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 29 Yudao Street, Nanjing 210016, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,3,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Boller, C., Chang, F.K., and Fujino, Y.
