A quadrilateral inverse-shell element with drilling degrees of freedom for shape sensing and structural health monitoring

The inverse Finite Element Method (iFEM) is a state-of-the-art methodology originally introduced by Tessler and Spangler for real-time reconstruction of full-field structural displacements in plate and shell structures that are instrumented by strain sensors. This inverse problem is commonly known a...
