Cover Story: This paper develops a two-step methodology for the optimization of an actuator–sensor network harnessing the acoustic coupling ability of Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors for Guided waves (GW)-based structural health monitoring (SHM). In the first stage, the actuator–sensor network is optimized based on the application demands (coverage for damage localization) and the cost of the instrumentation. In the second stage, an acoustic coupler network is designed to ensure high-fidelity measurements. The inputs for the optimization are based on data acquired through experiments. The non-sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is implemented for finding the optimal solution for both steps and the analytical implementation of the cost function is validated experimentally.
