Optimal static strain sensor placement for truss bridges

A method to identify optimal strain sensor placement for examining structural static responses is presented. The method is based on the use of numerical optimization. Based on an assumed set of applied static forces, the optimal sensor placement can be obtained, and the measured strains can be used...
