ABSTRACT

Sensor optimization is a combinatorial optimization problem. It has important significance in structural health monitoring and damage identification. The choice of sensor optimization method is directly related to the efficiency and feasibility of optimization calculation. At present, the optimization algorithm is mainly divided into two categories, the traditional optimization algorithm and the stochastic algorithm. The traditional optimization algorithms is a deterministic search model based on numerical calculation, and random optimization algorithm is a probabilistic random search model based on non-numerical calculation. In this paper, common algorithms are introduced, and their existing problems are analyzed. Finally, some shortages and development trends in the research of optimal sensor placement are pointed out.
