N2 - The increasing maturity and decreasing size of the measurement equipment enables Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors to be used for structural monitoring of complex structures. FBGs applied on helicopter rotor blades are used to identify blade movements, which will serve as a valuable data source to supply Usage Monitoring Systems for rotorcraft. In this paper, two approaches are presented to calculate the displacement of a rotor blade with nonuniform cross sections based on surface strain measurements with FBGs. Furthermore, the effect of sensor noise as well as errors and failures of the sensors is analyzed for both methods.
