Graph convolutional neural networks (GCNs), unlike other methods, have the ability to learn the spatial characteristics of the sensors, which is targeted at the above problems in structural damage identification. However, under the influence of environmental interference, sensor instability, and other factors, part of the vibration signal can easily change its fundamental characteristics, and there is a possibility of misjudging structural damage. Therefore, on the basis of building a high-performance graphical convolutional deep learning model, this paper considers the integration of data fusion technology in the model decision-making layer and proposes a single-model decision-making fusion neural network (S_DFNN) model. Through experiments involving the frame model and the self-designed cable-stayed bridge model, it is concluded that this method has a better performance of damage recognition for different structures, and the accuracy is improved based on a single model and has good damage recognition performance. The method has better damage identification performance in different structures, and the accuracy rate is improved based on the single model, which has a very good damage identification effect. It proves that the structural damage diagnosis method proposed in this paper with data fusion technology combined with deep learning has a strong generalization ability and has great potential in structural damage diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23239327","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]],"date-time":"2023-11-22T10:41:51Z","timestamp":1700649711000},"page":"9327","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Application of Graph Convolutional Neural Networks Combined with Single-Model Decision-Making Fusion Neural Networks in Structural Damage Recognition"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8836-2158","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiaofei","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation Engineering, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"}]},{"given":"Langxing","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation Engineering, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"}]},{"given":"Hainan","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Beijing Key Laboratory of Earthquake Engineering and Structure Retrofit, University of Technology Beijing, Beijing 100124, China"}]},{"given":"Lu","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Transportation Engineering, Dalian Maritime University, Dalian 116026, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"945","DOI":"10.1007\/s11012-019-01052-w","article-title":"Structural damage detection using convolutional neural networks combining strain energy and dynamic response","volume":"55","author":"Teng","year":"2020","journal-title":"Meccanica"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Azimi, M., Eslamlou, A.D., and Pekcan, G.
