Abstract
The use of sensor networks for structural health monitoring purposes has gained popularity due to advances in electronics enabling the deployment of cost-effective solutions. However, linking signal to condition evaluation is still a difficult task, and metrics must be developed to validate the performance of a given sensor network at conducting its as-designed structural health monitoring task. In this paper, we present a model-assisted sensor network validation strategy. The strategy consists of constructing a physical surrogate model to perform numerical investigations of sensor network performance under uncertainty. The update of the physical surrogate provides spatiotemporal data enabling condition evaluation. A metric inspired by probability of detection theory is developed to quantify performance. We demonstrate the methodology to validate the performance of a novel strain-based sensor network.
