Abstract

This work investigates an online mode shape estimation method to estimate the time-varying modal properties and correct IMU readings in real time using distributed strain measurements of FBG sensor arrays. Compared to the notch filter approach, the proposed method removes structural vibration information without adding phase lag or transient dynamics. Numerical simulations on a flexible rocket attitude control and the experiments on a vertical test beam with configurable mass distribution are used for demonstration.
