Abstract

This work tackles strain simulation and modelling, as well as channel prediction with strain and temperature measurements as output and input, respectively. We mathematically characterize and quantify the most severe influencer of errors in the light of interpreting strain measurements in relation to structural health monitoring, evaluation and integrity. Subsequently, we automatically pinpoint and trace readings to the sensors and channels they issued forth from, for accurate channel identification, calibration and strain compensation and process automation. Classifiers and simulation models are implemented and validated where applicable.
