This work aims to evaluate the performance of distributed acoustic sensing for monitoring a multilayer structure on a laboratory scale. The proposed structure comprises four layers: a medium-density fiberboard and three rigid polyurethane foam slabs. Three different damages were emulated in the structure: two in the first layer of rigid polyurethane foam and another in the medium-density fiberboard layer. The results include the detection of the mechanical wave, comparing the response with point sensors used for reference, and evaluating how the measured signal behaves in time and frequency in the face of different damages in the multilayer structure. The tests demonstrate that evaluating signals in both time and frequency domains presents different characteristics for each condition analyzed. The supervised support vector machine classifier was used to automate the classification of these damages, achieving an accuracy of 93%. The combination of distributed acoustic sensing with this learning algorithm creates the condition for developing a smart tool for monitoring multilayer structures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24175777","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]],"date-time":"2024-09-05T08:36:08Z","timestamp":1725525368000},"page":"5777","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Multilayer Structure Damage Detection Using Optical Fiber Acoustic Sensing and Machine Learning"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Brusamarello","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering (CPGEI-UTFPR), Curitiba 80230-901, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9720-4410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Uilian Jos\u00e9","family":"Dreyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering (CPGEI-UTFPR), Curitiba 80230-901, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gilson Antonio","family":"Brunetto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CPFL Energia, Campinas 13076-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Luis Fernando","family":"Pedrozo Melegari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CPFL Energia, Campinas 13076-970, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cicero","family":"Martelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering (CPGEI-UTFPR), Curitiba 80230-901, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2310-9159","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jean Carlos","family":"Cardozo da Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Engineering (CPGEI-UTFPR), Curitiba 80230-901, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1225","DOI":"10.1177\/1475921717750047","article-title":"Structural health monitoring: Closing the gap between research and industrial deployment","volume":"17","author":"Cawley","year":"2018","journal-title":"Struct.
