Design and testing of a low-power wireless sensor network for structural health monitoring of bridges

Abstract: This paper describes the design and testing of a wireless sensor network based on the SmartBrick, a low-power SHM device developed by the authors. The SmartBrick serves as the base station for the network, which utilizes additional sensor nodes to periodically evaluate the condition of the structure. Each node measures vibration, tilt, humidity, and strain, and is designed for easy interfacing of virtually any other analog or digital sensor. The sensor nodes use Zigbee to transmit their data to the base statio… Show more

“…Autonomy is a very important aspect as it determines the capability of the system to operate continuously for a long time, in the absence of an external power supply. In particular, wireless systems is not expected to connect to external power supply, thus high autonomy can be achieved mainly by low power design of the system [12,14,16,18,21,24,25,[35][36][37][38][39].…”
