Popis: Micro-image strain sensing (MISS) is an innovative technology to measure strain within a measurement range of ±8300 microstrains. It has been proved to be effective and satisfy all requirements in the field of structural health monitoring. However, there is still room for improvement and extend the range of measurement. In this paper, an improved method is proposed to increase the measurement range of strain and displacement. Moreover, various tests were conducted to verify the efficiency of the improved method. The results showed that the modified method is efficient and accurate and can be readily used to extend the measurement range of both strain and displacement. This research will likely help stimulate the development of multifunctional sensors to obtain abundant useful information about structures in the field of structural health monitoring. It will allow measuring strain and displacement, which require different levels of accuracy, using one unified sensor.
