Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Hypothesis
Downsampling the accelerometer data from 1024Hz to lower frequencies (512Hz, 128Hz) will result in acceptable model performance with minimal degradation, making the system more practical for deployment with lower-capability sensors while potentially reducing computational requirements.
Background & Motivation
Current structural health monitoring (SHM) accelerometer data is collected at 1024Hz, which may exceed the capabilities of many commercially available or lower-cost sensors. Understanding how model performance degrades with lower sampling rates would:
This experiment is particularly relevant for real-world applications where sensor cost, power consumption, and data transmission bandwidth may be limiting factors.
Dataset
Original dataset: Accelerometer time-domain data sampled at 1024Hz
Derived datasets (to be created):
Both damaged and undamaged node data should be included
Same structural scenarios and damage locations across all sampling rates

Additional Notes
This experiment will provide critical insights into the practical deployment requirements of the SHM system. If the performance remains acceptable at lower sampling rates, it would significantly enhance the practical value of the thesis by making the approach applicable to a wider range of sensor hardware.
