- the minimum length chosen is such that it makes it possible to obtain exploitable deformation measurements.
- the maximum length chosen is such that it does not disturb the bending behavior of the curvature stiffener.
- the insert member 23 has a length greater than that of the longitudinal member on which it is fixed. It projects downwards beyond the longitudinal member into the body 20, advantageously into the lower section 30.
- the presence of insert elements 23 comprising strain measurement sensors 60 'in addition to the sensors 60 carried by the longitudinal members 34 of the internal frame 22 does not change in any way the method used to determine the stress field, and consequently the variations of the curvature profile undergone over time by the stiffener 16.
