Kalman Filter Based Load Monitoring in Beam Like Structures Using Fibre-Optic Strain Sensors

The paper presents a proof of concept of a new methodology for the load estimation in beam-like structures under complex loading. The paper customizes a Kalman Filter (KF) based estimation technique which is shown to be robust to the presence of measurement noise as well as the changing condition of...

description The paper presents a proof of concept of a new methodology for the load estimation in beam-like structures under complex loading. The paper customizes a Kalman Filter (KF) based estimation technique which is shown to be robust to the presence of measurement noise as well as the changing condition of the beam for estimation of loads in beam-like structures. The methodology was validated using numerical as well as experimental data. The initial studies indicate that the proposed methodology has promise for applications where monitoring and classification of the strains is necessary, such as those in continuous welded rails.
