This paper describes the integration of an ultrasonic-based non-destructive testing (NDT) with wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to continuously monitor material integrity during run-time. NDT is a technique that allows the examination of material properties without causing any damage to the material in the process. A wireless sensor network facilitates the collaborative effort to monitor a certa...

− One of the most applied procedures for detention of incipient faults in power transformers, such as partial discharges, electrical arcing and overheating, is the analysis of the concentration of gases dissolved in the isolating mineral oil. This analysis usually is carried through in a laboratory through chromatography in gaseous phase. Although it presents trustworthy results the chromatogra...
