Application of a Low-Cost Strain Monitoring System Based on Internet of Things to the Structural Analysis of Physical Models

Abstract

A reasonably accurate, low-cost system for the monitoring of strains in simple physical models within the field of Structural Engineering, based on Internet of Things, is presented, calibrated and discussed. The system only requires average, economic devices as Arduino microcontroller and strain gauges. Several tests on a case study of a scaled-cantilevered aluminium beam with different loading are conducted. Governing parameters are calibrated aimed at an optimization when benchmarked against theoretical and experimental results obtained with a reference device. Results show great accuracy; however, the need of setting of the parameters campaign-by-campaign, especially aimed at dealing with thermal drift, becomes a shortcoming. Still, its minimum cost and user-friendly management makes it a suitable solution for different applications.

Optimization of Remote Public Medical Emergency Management System with Low Delay Based on Internet of Things

“…Some scholars have made efforts to explore the direction of medical Internet of things. The intelligent medical monitoring system based on the Internet of things is studied [ 7 ]. Through monitoring the temperature and pulse, the information is sent to the host, and the host will make an intelligent decision whether to alarm, so as to improve the work efficiency [ 8 ].…”
