Multi-View Mel-Filterbank Fusion for Robust Drive-By Population-Based Bridge Damage Detection

J. Zeng, Q. Mei, N. Shirzad-Ghaleroudkhani, M. Jamshidi, and M. Gül

Submitted to Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing (SSRN preprint, 2026)

This paper shows that fusing several diverse mel-filterbank channels in a single shared graph autoencoder removes the single-channel bias of drive-by population-based damage detection, validated on both simulations and a field campaign on in-service bridges.

A Drive-By PBSHM Framework for Bridge Damage Detection Under Temperature Variability

J. Zeng, Q. Mei, N. Shirzad Ghaleroudkhani, M. Jamshidi, and M. Gül

Submitted to Engineering Structures (SSRN preprint, 2026)

This paper presents a drive-by population-based structural health monitoring framework that detects bridge damage while explicitly addressing temperature-induced variability in structural response.
