A new two-step theory is investigated for predicting the deflection and slope of an entire structure using measured strain at discrete locations. In the first step, a measured strain is fitted using a piecewise least-squares curve fitting method together with the cubic spline technique. These fitted strains are integrated twice to obtain deflection data along the optical fibers. In the second step, computed deflection along the optical fibers is combined with a finite-element model of the structure in order to interpolate and extrapolate the deflection and slope of the entire structure through the use of the System Equivalent Reduction and Expansion Process. The theory is first validated on a computational model, a cantilevered rectangular plate wing. The theory is then applied to test data from a cantilevered swept-plate wing model. Computed results are compared with finite-element results, results using another strain-based method, and photogrammetry data. In general, excellent matching between the target and computed values are accomplished in this study.
