Systems and methods are disclosed. A method includes obtaining component identification information associated with a composite component. The method includes obtaining sensor data of the composite component, the sensor data of the composite component indicates a position of one or more nanoparticles, the one or more nanoparticles are at least one of deposited on the composite component and embedded within the composite component. The method includes identifying a first reference entry of a plurality of reference entries in a reference database corresponding to the component identification information, the first reference entry indicates a reference position of the one or more nanoparticles. The method includes executing a digital image correlation between the sensor data and the first reference entry of the plurality of reference entries. The method includes determining a damage value of the composite component based on the digital image correlation between the sensor data and the first reference entry.
