IMPROVING SHAPE SENSING OF AERONAUTICAL STRUCTURES WITH STRAIN PRE-EXTRAPOLATION AND SENSOR PLACEMENT OPTIMIZATION

E. Del Priore¹, L. Lampani¹; ¹Sapienza University of Rome, Italy

This study addresses shape sensing of aeronautical stiffened panels using the inverse finite element method (iFEM). The effectiveness of the iFEM is improved by integrating it with strain pre-extrapolation and sensor optimization via a multi-objective genetic algorithm that accounts for multiple loading conditions.
