Abstract

This paper describe a structural shape monitoring methodology based on modal transformation and strain sensing for morphing structures. There are four important components to this problem: constructing the displacement-strain relationship, modal identification, strain measurement and signal processing. These issues are addressed in this paper and a simple laboratory experiment was carried out, which shows there are still many challenges inherent in the problems.
