Development of Structural Health Monitoring System with Smart Sensors and Wireless Network

Efficient campaign-type structural health monitoring using wireless smart sensors

Wireless Smart Sensor Networks (WSSNs) have attracted great attention in recent years for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM), enabling better understanding of the dynamic behavior of large scale civil infrastructures through dense deployment of sensors. With a fraction of the deployment time and cost compared with wired SHM systems, WSSNs can serve as ideal systems for campaign-type monitoring ...

WHELAN, “Integrated Smart Wireless Sensors”, 1/10 INTEGRATED SMART WIRELESS SENSORS FOR BRIDGE STRUCTURAL HEALTH AND HOMELAND SECURITY MONITORING

Homeland security requires thorough monitoring of the nation’s transportation infrastructure health. Discussed in this paper is research aimed at developing a smart wireless sensor network that is an efficient and practical health monitoring system and is also versatile for security monitoring strategies. At the core of such a system is an integrated network which collects data from a variety o...

Development and Application of a Structural Health Monitoring System Based on Wireless Smart Aggregates

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems can improve the safety and reliability of structures, reduce maintenance costs, and extend service life. Research on concrete SHMs using piezoelectric-based smart aggregates have reached great achievements. However, the newly developed techniques have not been widely applied in practical engineering, largely due to the wiring problems associated with l...

Application of Wireless Sensors for Structural Health Monitoring And Control

Wireless sensors have been proposed for use in structural health monitoring systems because they offer low-installation costs and automated data processing functionality. To validate the performance of the proposed WiMMS (wireless modular monitoring system) on the vibration measurement of large-scale civil structures, a three-story half-scale steel structure is instrumented with a wireless moni...
