Paper Abstract
Current control and performance requirements for large-aperture deployable structures call for precise displacement
control, with some tolerances approaching micron levels. Given that strain gages are one of the most economically-deployed
sensor architectures, we explored two methods for reconstructing displacement from a distributed strain
sensing array. One method linearly maps displacement fields to local strains in a supervised learning mode. After
loading the system with sufficient cases, a matrix can be established to approach the approximate displacement-strain
relationship. The other method is based on linear regression of generalized basis function projections, typically mode
shapes. Results of these two approaches are compared for accuracy, robustness, training time, and real-time feasibility.
The second method has higher accuracy due to natural modal behaviors, while the first method is feasible if large
amount of training cases and measuring points are available.
