Abstract
A strain-based sensing concept for SHM applications has the important advantage that on-ground and in-flight measurements can be directly correlated with the results of structural stress/strain finite element (FE) analysis. In the current work, a detailed FE model of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has been calibrated against actual ground test measurements, as obtained by a fiber-optic sensing net, to be later used as a digital twin platform for optimizing sensors locations for sensitive damage detection. The use of a digital twin for damage detection should prove to be a cost-effective approach for optimizing an SHM damage detection system.
