... mode shapes for the plate are also examined in MSC NASTRAN 2018.0 [33] using SOL 103 (normal modes analysis). A comparison of the approximate mode shapes based on products of beam functions to the FE mode shapes is shown in Fig. 8, where the shapes are scaled to have the same absolute maximum displacement. For all the modes presented, the general character of the shapes are the same for both techniques. However, it is also clear that the approximate mode shapes based on products of beam functions (plotted as gridded surfaces), do not perfectly account for the ...

The blade tip timing (BTT) technique has been widely used in rotation machinery for non-contact blade vibration measurements. As BTT data is under-sampled, it requires complicated algorithms to reconstruct vibration parameters. Before reconstructing the vibration parameters, the right data segment should first be extracted from the massive volumes...

... Structural displacements and rotations can be reconstructed by integrating experimental strains measured by a discrete set of sensors [7]. This approach, founded on the classical beam or plate theories, has been developed for one-dimensional (1D) beam [8,9] and two-dimensional (2D) plate structures [10] and applied to aeroelastic shape control applications [11]. Alternatively, the structural displacement field can be modeled as a weighted superposition of basis functions [12][13][14]. ...
... where the kinematic variables u and v are the mid-plane surface displacements in the x and y directions; w is the transverse deflection averaged across the plate thickness; and θ x and θ y are the section rotations about the x and y-axes, respectively (see Figure 2). Using the linear strain-displacement relation, the strain field of the plate is computed from Equation (10) and has the following form (11) where m and k are the strain measures defined in the plate mid-plane surface, representing the in-plane stretching and curvature of the mid-plane. Similarly, the transverse shear strains of the plate given by Mindlin theory are written as ...
This work presents a novel methodology for the accurate and efficient elastic deformation reconstruction of thin-walled and stiffened structures from discrete strains. It builds on the inverse finite element method (iFEM), a variationally-based shape-sensing approach that reconstructs structural displacements by matching a set of analytical and experimental strains in a least-squares sense. As iFEM employs the finite element framework to discretize the structural domain and as the displacements and strains are approximated using element shape functions, the kind of element used influences the accuracy and efficiency of the iFEM analysis. This problem is addressed in the present work through a novel discretization scheme that combines beam and shell inverse elements to develop an iFEM model of the structure. Such a hybrid discretization paradigm paves the way for more accurate shape-sensing of geometrically complex structures using fewer sensor measurements and lower computational effort than traditional approaches. The hybrid iFEM is experimentally demonstrated in this work for the shape sensing of bending and torsional deformations of a composite stiffened wing panel instrumented with strain rosettes and fiber-optic sensors. The experimental results are accurate, robust, and computationally efficient, demonstrating the potential of this hybrid scheme for developing an efficient digital twin for online structural monitoring and control.

A system identification analysis was performed to determine a reduced-order model (ROM) of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver in support of linear aeroservoelastic model development and feedback control design. The approach was applied to the CFD code called FUN3D for the half-span wind tunnel test article used in the NASA-Boeing collaboration named the Integrated Adaptive Wing Technology Maturation (IAWTM) project. In a transonic flow condition, multiple inputs (11 structural mode displacements and 3 control surface deflections) were simultaneously excited with orthogonal phase-optimized multisines while multiple outputs (the corresponding 14 generalized aerodynamic forces) were recorded. From these recorded times series, the matrix of frequency responses was computed and subsequently fit using rational function approximations (RFAs). It was found that the entire 14x14 matrix of frequency responses could be determined from a single CFD run and that results generally followed trends predicted using other methods. Differences were attributed to the modeling fidelity and nonlinearities from structural mode and control surface interactions at higher reduced frequencies. More accurate fits of the RFAs to the frequency response data were obtained by making two CFD runs, one with only structural mode excitations and one with only control surface excitations, which reduced the degree of nonlinearity in the modeling data.
... FOAs are suitable for earthquake monitoring [4], building health monitoring [5], and oil exploration [6].

This study proposes a miniature and highly sensitive Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) based on aluminum - polyimide diaphragm integrated with a mass block for acceleration sensing. The composite diaphragms with a radius and thickness of 3.5 mm and 630 nm are manufactured by Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) technology. To increase the adhesion of the polyimide diaphragm to silicon wafer and improve the quality of deflectable diaphragm, a 30-nm-thick aluminum diaphragm is first coated on the silicon wafer by magnetron sputtering; a silicon wafer in the intermediate diaphragm is reserved as a mass block to form an integrated structure. Air cavity of the FPI formed by this composite diaphragm is modulated via external vibration signals, leading to a variation in the length of the cavity. Three fiber optic Fabry–Perot accelerometers (FOFPAs) are fabricated with a measured average sensitivity and acceleration resolution of 2.6 V/g (100 Hz–3.2 kHz) and

respectively, which show high consistency and manufacturing reproducibility. Good heat resistance performance of the sensor below 280° can also be observed obviously. Thus, this proposed sensor is anticipated to have wide application prospects in micro vibration monitoring in high temperature.
... Comparisons of the experimental and analytical mode shapes for the multi-point configurations, shown later, indicate relatively close agreement despite this experimental excitation method. In addition, previous work using highdensity strain measurements acquired from fiber optic strain sensors has indicated relatively small differences in the experimental fundamental mode shape for a cantilevered beam excited in the same manner (Heaney et al., 2018). Thus, although the support conditions are altered by adding the shaker, based on these previous and current results, the excitation method utilized here is deemed suitable for comparing the relative performance between the configurations. ...
This article proposes a multi-point support and inertial loading for beam-like piezocomposite vibration energy harvesters as an alternative to the common cantilevered beam configuration. In the proposed configuration, symmetrical overhanging free segments extend beyond two interior pinned supports, and tip masses are attached to the free ends for inertial tip-loading. The dynamic response of this multi-point loaded beam can be significantly altered by varying two configuration parameters: the support location and tip-loading. In this article, the transverse vibration due to harmonic excitation of a piezocomposite beam in this multi-point configuration is analyzed. The effects of configuration parameters on the natural frequency and curvature shapes of the beam are shown. Results from experimental testing of several support locations and tip masses are compared with analytical predictions, and it is demonstrated that the fundamental frequency of this system can be tuned by adjusting the support location and tip-loading. Comparisons of the output-to-input power ratios for the different configurations during vibration energy harvesting are also made, which demonstrate increased strain-normalized transduction for the multi-point configurations over a reference cantilevered beam. This article concludes with a discussion of the potential application of this configuration as a vibration energy harvester.
