:

: On behalf of all authors, the corresponding author states that there is no conflict of interest.

: Results are represented throughout the text. Some are not replicable due to the nature thereof, such as the physical measurements of strain gauges in a laboratory. Those who can be reproduced are provided as an additional submission to this article and detailed below.Figures  and  are inserted to visualise the respective structural and strain filters; thus, it was deemed not necessary to include the corresponding files since it is not necessary to validate the research results. The software <tt>0 Filtering Software.ipynb</tt> produces a similar graph and can be used to validate statements made with regards to Fig. .The FE model provided in Fig.  can be reproduced with an appropriate FE pre-processor and the DAT file provided.The information required to reproduce Fig.  and  can be obtained with the <tt>0 Filtering Software.ipynb</tt> software and an appropriate FE pre-processor. Fig.  can be similarly reproduced with the <tt>2 Optimal Gauge Location and Orientation Software.ipynb</tt> software. Fig.  can be reproduced with <tt>1 Different Optimization Methods of MultiLoads.ipynb</tt>. It must be noted that there might be small deviations in the graphs which have been published in this article due to the random error that is added each time the software is executed. Federov’s Exchange Algorithm need to be installed on the user’s device in order for the optimisation programmes to function. The submission page makes it difficult to provide this package, but the author is willing to supply it upon request.Figure  is compiled using the <tt>3 Load Reconstruction.ipynb</tt> programme. The reconstructed loads presented in Table  are calculated using the same software.
