Variable Thickness Strain Pre-Extrapolation for the Inverse Finite Element Method
Sensors, 2023 The inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) has recently gained much popularity within the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) field since, given sparse strain measurements, it reconstructs the displacement field of any beam or shell structure independently ...

Shape-sensing by self-sensing of shape memory alloy instruments for minimal invasive surgery
at - Automatisierungstechnik, 2023 Abstract Shape memory alloy-based flexible instruments have potential for enhancing the safety in minimally invasive surgery compared to passive rigid devices. We developed a data-driven polynomial model to estimate deflection of a 2D bending actuator using electrical resistance.

Sensing the shape of canine responses to cancer [PDF]
Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Advances in Computer Entertainment Technology, 2015 We conducted a short study investigating the pressure patterns produced by cancer detection dogs via a canine-centered interface while searching samples of amyl acetate. We advance previous work by providing further insights into the potential of the approach for supporting and partly automating the practice of cancer detection with dogs.

A smoothed iFEM approach for efficient shape-sensing applications: numerical and experimental validation on composite structures [PDF]
, 2020 A smoothed inverse finite element method (iFEM(s)) is developed by coupling the inverse finite element method (iFEM) and the smoothing element analysis (SEA) for real-time reconstruction of displacement field utilizing a network of discrete strain-sensor
