In-service structural health monitoring of composite aircraft structures plays a key role in the
assessment of their performance and integrity. In recent years, Fibre Optic Sensors (FOS) …

Large apertures in space have applications for telecommunications, Earth observation and
scientific missions. This paper reviews advances in mechanical architectures and …

The structure shape itself is of great interest for many aerospace applications. For example,
the stability of the surface shape of large, high precision or space reflectors is essential for …

A new deformation shape-sensing methodology is investigated for the purposes of real-time
condition assessment, control, and health monitoring of flexible lightweight aerospace …

In this letter, we present a new soft and flexible sensor which can reconstruct its surface
shape in real time. A single-core optical fiber with fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is capable of …

Sandwich panels with carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) have high flexural strength-to-
weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios and are used in structures requiring good mechanical …

Structural shape estimation is of great interest in many engineering fields including
aerospace and civil engineering. During operation, however, the monitoring of structural …

An important challenge in launch vehicle simulation and control is created by the time-
varying mass and inertia of the vehicle, as well as the consequent changes in modal …

In the existing studies of strain‐based displacement field detection for thin rectangular plate,
either the boundary conditions are too difficult to handle or the sensors layout and algorithm …

To address the problem that sensors cannot be affixed at certain critical locations of the
crossbeam structure and the full-field strain distribution cannot be obtained in real-time. In …
