Abstract
In an example embodiment, an analysis application is used to optimize sensor placement by minimizing information entropy or maximizing total modal energy. These objectives are achieved by implementing a two-part optimization procedure, involving generating an evaluation database that stores an information matrix, and using the evaluation in conjunction with a genetic algorithm to produce an optimized sensor location set.
