Abstract

Many preventive maintenance schemes for managing structural deterioration rely on stochastic deterioration models. In this context, continuous structural health information can be employed within a Bayesian framework to update the distributions of the time-invariant deterioration model parameters. Bayesian parameter estimation can be performed either in an online or an offline fashion. In this contribution, we investigate different online and offline algorithms implemented for learning the model parameters, and their uncertainty, considering a probabilistic model of fatigue crack growth that is updated with continuous crack monitoring measurements. The numerical investigations provide insights on the performance of the different algorithms in terms of accuracy of the posterior estimates and computational cost.
