Optimal sensor placement is crucial in monitoring structural health, balancing performance and cost. This study investigated the problem using a composite plate with simulated damage and applied different sensor placement methods. The proposed approach allowed precise damage detection with resource-saving benefits in both costs and computational time.
Optimal sensor placement is one of the important issues in monitoring the condition of structures, which has a major influence on monitoring system performance and cost. Due to this, it is still an open problem to find a compromise between these two parameters. In this study, the problem of optimal sensor placement was investigated for a composite plate with simulated internal damage. To solve this problem, different sensor placement methods with different constraint variants were applied. The advantage of the proposed approach is that information for sensor placement was used only from the structure's healthy state. The results of the calculations according to sensor placement methods were subsets of possible sensor network candidates, which were evaluated using the aggregation of different metrics. The evaluation of selected sensor networks was performed and validated using machine learning techniques and visualized appropriately. Using the proposed approach, it was possible to precisely detect damage based on a limited number of strain sensors and mode shapes taken into consideration, which leads to efficient structural health monitoring with resource savings both in costs and computational time and complexity.
