description | It is well recognized that strain and deflection data are important indexes to judge the safety of truss structures. Specifically, the shape sensing technology can estimate the deformation of a structure by exploiting the discrete strain data without considering the material property conditions. To fill the gap in which most of the methods in SHM (structural health monitoring) cannot be directly used to predict the displacement field, this paper proposed a novel inverse finite element method (iFEM) algorithm based on the equivalent stiffness theory. A deflection sensor is fabricated to focus on predicting the distributed deflection variation of the truss structure. The performance of the deflection sensor was evaluated by a calibration test and a stability test. Finally, it was applied to distributed deflection monitoring in the testing of truss structures. Results of all tests verify that the deflection sensor based on the i-FEM algorithm can predict the distributed deflection variation of the truss structure accurately, in real time, and dynamically. |
