Experimental Estimating Deflection of a Simple Beam Bridge Model Using Grating Eddy Current Sensors

A novel three-point method using a grating eddy current absolute position sensor (GECS) for bridge deflection estimation is proposed in this paper. Real spatial positions of the measuring points along the span axis are directly used as relative reference points of each other rather than using any ot...
