    Digital Twin-Driven Structural Health Monitoring and Energy Management of IoT-Enabled Energy-Storing Polymer Composites Using Explainable Machine Learning

    Abstract: Energy storing polymer composites are widely utilized in intelligent structural systems, because of their mechanical and electrochemical properties. But, under varying thermo-mechanical and environmental conditions, it is important to have accurate degradation monitoring for real-time industrial process is challenging. In this work, an explainable machine-learning framework for structural health monitoring and adaptive energy management of polymer composites with energy storage capacity is proposed in an IoT environment with the help …

    Explainable Machine Learning for Process Parameter Optimization in Gradient 3D-Printed Polymer Composites

    Abstract: The explainable machine learning-based structure may be employed to achieve a favorable process parameter of the graduate 3D-printed polymer composite structures to improve the mechanical and thermal properties without compromising the transparency of the decisions made during the fabrication process. Gradient composite specimens were made by systematically varied process parameters like nozzle temperature, raster orientation, deposition speed, gradient transition rate and fused filament fabrication. A predictive model of tensile strength …

    Machine Learning-Driven Polymer Composite Smart Skin for Integrated Sensing in Soft Robotic Systems

    Abstract: Soft robotics has grown rapidly, but its progress is still constrained by the limitations of current sensing skins. Most polymer-based sensors provide either flexibility or sensitivity, yet they struggle to deliver real-time communication and adaptive intelligence when deployed in complex robotic environments. This disconnect between material performance and system-level responsiveness forms a critical bottleneck for practical deployment. Existing approaches often treat tactile sensing and wireless communication as separate problems. As …

    Data-Driven Life Prediction of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites Using IoT Sensing and Machine Learning Algorithms

    Abstract: The accurate prediction of fatigue life in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites remains a major challenge due to their nonlinear, multi-mechanism degradation behavior under variable loading conditions. This study presents a data-driven framework, H-LiProNet, which combines real-time IoT sensing with hybrid machine learning to estimate remaining useful life (RUL) in FRP composites. The proposed system integrates embedded Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and acoustic emission (AE) sensors to capture strain and damage …
