A novel low-velocity impact region identification method for cantilever beams using a support vector machine by Wang, Fengde, Kang, Yongtian, Xiao, Wensheng, Li, Changjiang, Liu, Qi

“…In this study, a novel low-velocity impact region identification method based on the spectral peak frequency (SPF) and support vector machine (SVM) is proposed to identify the low-velocity impact regions on a steel cantilever beam. A low-velocity impact region identification system of the cantilever beam is established by applying fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, and only 2 sensors are used in this system. …”
