description This research presents a data-driven structural health monitoring (SHM) approach for pipeline systems that leverages frequency response function (FRF) signals and artificial neural network (ANN) algorithms to accurately identify and classify diverse pipeline fault conditions. The study focuses on three specific faults: bolt looseness, scale deposits, and crack occurrence at pipeline supports, which were replicated on a pipeline segment located at the Sound and Vibration Research Group (SVRG) at University Putra Malaysia (UPM). The FRF signals were captured using accelerometers to monitor the structural health of the pipeline. The data acquisition stage involved collecting FRF signals from the accelerometers to capture vibrations and responses related to the identified faults using a Siemens LMS SCADAS data acquisition unit. The data underwent preprocessing, including the application of principal component analysis (PCA) for feature selection. The subsequent data processing stage involved the application of an ANN algorithm for pattern recognition to analyze and classify the acquired data, identifying patterns associated with the replicated fault conditions. The proposed methodology demonstrated exceptional performance, with the ANN model achieving consistently high overall accuracy (above 99.7%) and remarkably low mean squared error (in the range of 0.0088 × 10−3 to 0.3062 × 10−3) across multiple iterations and sensor datasets. The detailed class-specific metrics, including accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F1-score, further substantiated the model’s effectiveness in identifying the individual fault types with near-perfect or perfect results for the majority of the fault scenarios. The location-invariant performance of the ANN model across different sensor placements demonstrates the robustness of the proposed data-driven SHM methodology. This research highlights the transformative potential of integrating state-of-the-art data-driven techniques to revolutionize the monitoring and assessment of critical pipeline infrastructure, ultimately enhancing the safety, reliability, and longevity of these vital systems.
