Impact brings great threat to the composite structures that are extensively used in an aircraft. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an accurate and reliable impact monitoring method. In this paper, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are embedded in unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) during the manufacturing process to monitor the strain that is related to the elastic modulus and the state of resin. After that, an advanced impact identification model is proposed. Support vector regression (SVR) and a back propagation (BP) neural network are combined appropriately in this stacking-based ensemble learning model. Then, the model is trained and tested through hundreds of impacts, and the corresponding strain responses are recorded by the embedded FBG sensors. Finally, the performances of different models are compared, and the influence of the time of arrival (ToA) on the neural network is also explored. The results show that compared with a single neural network, ensemble learning has a better capability in impact identification.
