Our studies propose novel approaches for using multiple strain data, collected in fiber-optic strain sensors, for aeroelastic shape and dynamic sensing. These include a modal approach to extract wing elastic deformations from strain data for small and large deformation cases, system identification and flutter prediction from strain data, and wing shape control based on strain data. Our latest research (watch Tsoof Joel’s talk below, from the 2023 AIAA SciTech) is on the use of strain data and an aeroelastic model, together in a Kalman State Estimator, for improved estimation of a wing’s deformations in noisy conditions.
