Hybrid Shell-Beam Inverse Finite Element Method for the Shape Sensing of Stiffened Thin-Walled Structures: Formulation and Experimental Validation on a Composite Wing-Shaped Panel

This work presents a novel methodology for the accurate and efficient elastic deformation reconstruction of thin-walled and stiffened structures from discrete strains. It builds on the inverse finite element method (iFEM), a variationally-based shape-sensing approach that reconstructs structural dis...
