Reliability assessment of complex engineering systems is often hindered by the high computational cost of simulations and the inability of standard meta-models to handle non-stationary behavior, such as progressive damage. This work addresses these challenges using the mNARX+ framework, a data-driven approach that offers the possibility to integrate "damage trackers" directly into the modeling process. By jointly reconstructing system responses and internal state indicators, mNARX+ effectively captures evolving properties like fatigue accumulation and plastic damage. This approach offers a computationally efficient and robust solution for forecasting the behavior of damaging structures over time.
