Mobile Sensor Networks: A New Approach for Structural Health Monitoring

In this paper, a new approach using mobile sensor networks is proposed for structural health monitoring. Compared with static sensors, mobile sensor networks offer flexible system architectures with adaptive spatial resolutions. The paper describes the design concept of a flexure-based mechatronic (flexonic) mobile sensing node and its application in structural health monitoring. The flexonic m...

A case study for application of fuzzy inference and data mining in structural health monitoring

In this study, a system for monitoring the structural health of bridge deck and predicting various possible damages to this section was designed based on measuring the temperature and humidity with the use of wireless sensor networks, and then it was implemented and investigated. A scaled model of a conventional medium sized bridge (length of 50 meters, height of 10 meters, and with 2 piers) wa...

Effective Coverage as a New Metric for Monitoring Progress towards Universal Health Coverage

Wireless sensor networks for permanent health monitoring of historic buildings

This paper describes the application of a wireless sensor network to a 31 meter-tall medieval tower located in the city of Trento, Italy. The effort is motivated by preservation of the integrity of a set of frescoes decorating the room on the second floor, representing one of most important International Gothic artworks in Europe. The specific application demanded development of customized hard...
