Abstract: For the problem that KO displacement theory can be only applicable to the reconstruction of the one-dimensional deformation field, a new method is presented for reconstructing six degree of freedom displacement field, which is known as “multidimensional integration method”. According to the static equilibrium equation of Timoshenko beam, the mathematical model is established between displacement, rotation and external load. And the corresponding strain field functions and displacement field functions are deduced and the translation relation between section strain and surface strain is established for different external load. In order to improve the tolerance of the presented method, the accuracy and the robustness of the reconstruction displacement are taken as the optimization objective function to established multi-objective particle swarm optimization model for strain sensor placement. The wing frame is taken as the experimental platform to perform the finite element analysis, establish optimization objection model, and give the optimized strain sensor distribution scheme. And on the basis of this scheme, the displacement field is reconstructed by using the results of finite element analysis and the measured surface strain. The experimental results show that the proposed “dimensional integration method” presents a high reconstruction accuracy under the action of two different forms of external loads.
