title = "Optimum sensor position for inverse load recovery on a composite plate",
abstract = "An inverse method using strain values obtained at finite locations is used to predict coefficients of an unknown continuous static load function applied to a composite sandwich plate. The strain values obtained from a Finite Element Model (FEM) are used to simulate strain sensor readings. A Back-Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) is developed in order to predict optimum strain sensor locations necessary for accurate load function coefficient recovery using the inverse method. Coefficient values output from the inverse method, as well as material, and geometrical properties are used as input into the BPNN. The BPNN utilizes a back propagation algorithm that incorporates a linear transfer function. The BPNN developed predicts locations for sensor placement such that load function coefficients are recovered by the inverse method with good accuracy.",
