This paper investigates the problem of an optimal sensor placement for better shape deformation sensing of a new antenna structure with embedded or attached Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors. In this paper, the deformation shape of the antenna structure is reconstructed using a strain–displacement transformation, according to the measured discrete strain data from limited FBG strain sensors. Moreover, a two-stage sensor placement method is proposed using a derived relative reconstruction error equation. In this method, the initial sensor locations are determined using the principal component analysis based on orthogonal trigonometric (i.e., QR) decomposition, and then a new location is sequentially added into the initial sensor locations one by one by minimizing the relative reconstruction error considering information redundancy. The numerical simulations are conducted, and the comparisons show that the proposed method is advantageous in terms of the sensor distribution and computational cost. Experimental validation is performed using an antenna experimental platform equipped with an optimal FBG strain sensor configuration, and the reconstruction results show good agreements with those measured directly from displacement sensors. The proposed method has a large potential for the strain sensor placement of complex structures, and the proposed antenna structure with FBG strain sensors can be applied to the future wing-skin antenna or flexible space-based antenna.

High-performance concrete (HPC) as a promising construction material has been widely used in infrastructures and high-rise buildings etc. However, its pretty high autogenous shrinkage (AS) especially in its early age becomes one of the key problems endangering long-time durability of HPC structures. This paper carried out the early age AS research of large scaled HPC column specimens by embedded Fiber Bragg-Grating (FBG) strain sensor. Temperature compensation for FBG strain sensor by thermocouple was also attempted in this paper, and the results were reasonable and acceptable comparing with the result compensated by FBG temperature sensor. Reinforcement influence, size effect and temperature effect on HPC AS were also analyzed respectively in this paper.
