Simulation-Based Feasibility Assessment of a Hydrostatic Pressure-Difference Sensor for Bridge Deflection Monitoring
A hydrostatic pressure-difference (HPD) sensing chain for bridge dynamic-deflection measurement is assessed through finite-element (FE) simulation and re-analysis of two bridge-monitoring benchmarks. A virtual sensor model incorporating white plus 1/f noise, thermal drift and pipe Helmholtz dynamics is applied to a 30...
