MS17 - Inverse Problems in Structural Engineering

The Calderón problem consists in recovering an unknown parameter of a partial differential equation from boundary measurements of its solution. While global uniqueness is well-established for the full Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, corresponding to infinitely many boundary measurements, practical applications, such as EIT, operate with finite and discrete data.

In this realistic setting,...

MS17 - Inverse Problems in Structural Engineering

Inverse problems are central to modern Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), where the health state of a structure must be inferred from measured responses and the onset of damage must be promptly identified. In this context, increasing attention has been devoted to real-time SHM strategies, particularly in view of Digital Twin (DT) applications for remote structural monitoring.

MS17 - Inverse Problems in Structural Engineering

This contribution addresses the identification of concentrated static loads from strain measurements in geometrically nonlinear composite plates instrumented with embedded Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors. Since a rigorous investigation of this problem is missing in the literature, a mathematical framework is formulated from first principles.
A data-driven problem inversion algorithm is...

131. Towards the Identification of Moving Loads from Distributed Strain Measurements in Composite Plates

MS17 - Inverse Problems in Structural Engineering

This study investigates the dynamic response of a composite plate subjected to a pressure wave generated by a moving source, with the primary objective of identifying equivalent external loads from local strain measurements. The research focuses on reconstructing dynamic load parameters by analyzing signals acquired from a discrete array of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors integrated within...
