Optimal Sensors Placement Based on Modal Strain Energy

Abstract:

For a space simply supported truss bridge model, a method named element modal strain energy (MSE) was firstly adopted in the field of the optimal sensors placement. By taking nodes MSE, nodes distance matrix reciprocal as weights, and combining with optimal matching in graph theory, how to apply the method for optimal sensors placement was stated. Through analyzing on the random vibration property of the bridge finite element model, the nodes position of larger acceleration response was compared with the optimal placement got from the above method, which could verified the effectiveness of optimal sensors placement.
