  1. Point and Distributed Loading Tip deflection errors and sensitivity results.

  2. Point Loading Cases b a F2 F1 Sensor 2 Sensor 1 Tip Deflection x1 x2 Case 1: a = L/2, b = L. F1 > 0, F2 > F1. Case 2: a = L/2, b = L. F1 > 0, F1 > F2. Case 3: a = L/2, b = L. F1 < 0, F2 > abs(F1).

  3. Deflection Errors at Tip

  4. Sensitivity of Deflection Errors with Respect to x1

  5. Sensitivity of Deflection Errors with Respect to x2

  6. Deflection and Curvatures when x1 = 25, x2 = 82.

  7. Conclusions: • Opposing loads lead to the same results as loads in the same direction (if magnitude is the same.) • If the load at the inflection point is larger than the load at the end, the range of deflection error and sensitivities are greater. • For all cases when a = L/2, the lowest deflection error at the tip is when x1 = 45 and x2 = 125.

  8. Distributed Loading Cases b a q Sensor 1 Sensor 2 Tip Deflection x1 x2 Case 1: a = L/2, b = L - a

  9. Case 1: q = 10e-3*9.81/75 Deflection Error at Tip Sensitivity w/Respect to x1 Sensitivity w/Respect to x2 When x1 = 25, x2 = 82:

  10. Conclusions: • For Case 1, deflection error at tip when x1 = 25, x2= 82 is 0.0574. • The best region for sensor placement seems to be when x1 = 28, x2 is in the range [122:138]. However, this is sensitive to x1. • If one sensor is at L/2 (start of loading), the position of the second sensor is not important in improving the accuracy of the curvature readings (hence the displacement error).

  12. One Distributed Load and End Point Load b a q F Sensor 1 Sensor 2 Tip Deflection x1 x2

  13. Three Loading Types • Given two point loads, distributed loads were found such that the curvature at x = 0 and x = L/2 was the same. • The distributed loading caused regions of similar deflection errors.
