Overview A single degree of freedom structure represented by an inverted pendulum is one of the simplest examples used by the civil engineers to explain the fundamentals of the dynamics of structures. In this work, this structure was also used as a tool to evaluate and understand the behaviour of the developed prototype for operational modal analysis of civil engineering structures. The [...]
System Overview
Requirements The aim of the system is to sample in a synchronized fashion multiple accelerometers placed at different locations in a structure and forward the data to a central station for later processing. The most relevant application requirements were identified as follows: - XYZ accelerometer (triaxial) - Max. measurement range: ± 1 g - Minimum sensitivity: 1 V/g - Typical resolution: 1 mg - Max. resolution: 50 µg - Frequency response, [...]
Using Wireless Sensor Networks for Structural Health Monitoring Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) has long been identified as a prominent application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), as traditional wired-based solutions present some inherent limitations such as: Installation/maintenance cost : from experience, the installation time of a SHM system for bridges and buildings can consume over 75% of the total testing time, and the installation labour [...]
