Abstract
This study introduces the optimization of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) network and the load identification. Current researches on the optimal placement and reliability of the FBG network and the static load identification are generally analyzed. And then, the optimal placement of sensors and reliability of the FBG network are studied. Through the analysis of structural response characteristics, the general rules of sensors placement in structural static response parameters monitoring are proposed. The probability calculation is introduced, and the numerical analyses of the FBG sensor network reliability of several simple topologies are given.
