WiSeREmulator: An emulation framework for wireless structural health monitoring

Wireless Monitoring Techniques for Structural Health Monitoring

Recently, a variety of wireless structural health monitoring systems have been demonstrated as viable substitutes for traditional high-cost tethered monitoring systems. In this study, a prototype wireless sensing system is deployed on the Voigt Bridge (La Jolla, CA) and a historical theatre (Detroit, MI) to validate its performance against cabled monitoring systems. Acceleration time history re...

An Active Sensing Platform for Wireless Structural Health Monitoring

This paper presents SHiMmer, a wireless platform for active sensing that combines localized processing with energy harvesting to provide long-lived structural health monitoring. The life-cycle of the node is extended to 20 years by the use of super-capacitors for energy storage. During this period the node is expected to work completely maintenance-free. The node is capable of harvesting up to ...

An overview of wireless structural health monitoring for civil structures.

Wireless monitoring has emerged in recent years as a promising technology that could greatly impact the field of structural monitoring and infrastructure asset management. This paper is a summary of research efforts that have resulted in the design of numerous wireless sensing unit prototypes explicitly intended for implementation in civil structures.

VirtualMesh: an emulation framework for wireless mesh networks in OMNeT++

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) have proven to be a key technology for increased network coverage of Internet infrastructures. The development process for new protocols and architectures in the area of WMN is typically split into evaluation by network simulation and testing of a prototype in a test-bed. Testing a prototype in a real test-bed is time-consuming and expensive. Irrepressible external ...
