Abstract
In this paper, a method for the localisation and quantification of impacts on orthotropic plates, based on the measurement of the resulting vibrational energy flow, or structural intensity, is presented. The outputs of a compact array of bonded piezo-electric sensors are digitally filtered and combined to yield a local estimate of the instantaneous vibrational energy flow. In the case of transient vibration due to an impact, two or more such estimates can be used to localise the point of impact. The use of energy flow vectors for localisation requires a priori knowledge of the material properties, but may provide more direct access to position information than conventional techniques. Furthermore, the magnitude of the measured energy flow, when combined with knowledge of the impact location, can provide a quantitative measure of impact severity. The approach is based on Kirchhoff orthotropic plate theory, and is thus applicable to low frequencies, and utilises instantaneous estimates of the local wave field to allow the estimation of the various forces, moments and velocities that are required to calculate the vibrational energy flow. The theoretical background and principles of implementation of the approach are outlined, and the effects of sensor array design on systematic errors and sensitivity to measurement noise are discussed. Numerical simulations are used to assess the effectiveness of the technique and to determine its sensitivity to noise and other errors. These simulations suggest that the obtained energy flow estimates can be used for impact localisation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
