To conduct the study, a quad-rotor UAV was manufactured, and a vibration data acquisition system was developed to collect vibration data along three axes under normal and three damage scenarios. Empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was employed to reduce high-frequency noise in the signals, and the root mean square error (RMSE) feature was utilised to select the Y-axis acceleration data, which exhibits significant changes across different damage cases. Finally, a convolutional neural network was used to identify the damage based on the vibration data. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieved 97.5 accuracy using selected and noise-reduced Y-axis acceleration data, thereby indicating its usefulness in diagnosing damage types in multi-rotor UAVs. {\^A}{\copyright} 2023 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor \& Francis Group.}, issn = {10589759}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85158886614&doi=10.1080\%2f10589759.2023.2206655&partnerID=40&md5=0b3eb144c0275b9452813a0e7dd16716}, author = {Ma, Y. and Mustapha, F. and Ishak, M.
