Shape sensing of beams with complex cross-sections using the inverse Finite Element Method
English
This work investigates the use of the inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) for damage localisatio...n by reconstructing the damaged strain field of the structure. The iFEM is a proven technique for reconstructing the displacement field of a structure using surface strain measurements from discrete locations on the structure.
Methods for real-time reconstruction of structural displacements using measured strain data is an... area of active research due to its potential application for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and morphing structure control.
