The development of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques has rapidly evolved and matured over the past few decades. Advances in sensor technology have facilitated deploying SHM systems for large-scale structures and local NDT of structural members. Although both methods have been successfully applied to identify structural damage in various systems, Environmental and Operational Condition (EOC) variations can influence sensor measurements and mask damage signatures in the structural response. EOCs include environmental conditions, such as temperature, humidity, and wind, as well as operational conditions, such as mass loading, vibration, and boundary conditions. The effect of EOCs can significantly undermine the reliability and robustness of damage assessment technologies and limit their performance. Thus, successful SHM and NDT systems can compensate for changing EOCs. This paper provides a state-of-the-art review of the effects of EOCs on SHM and NDT systems. It presents recent developments in advanced sensing technology, signal processing, and analysis techniques that aim to eliminate the masking effect of EOC variations and increase the damage sensitivity and performance of SHM and NDT systems. The paper concludes with current research challenges, trends, and recommendations for future research directions.

“…Low-cost sensor (LCS) usage for many aspects of structural health monitoring is evident in the literature due to the rapid advancement of micro sensor technology and microcontrollers (such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi) [ 39 , 40 ]. The monitoring of acceleration [ 41 , 42 , 43 ], tilt [ 44 ], temperature [ 45 , 46 ], humidity [ 47 ], and corrosion [ 19 ] are a few examples of this research. Komarizadehsasl et al [ 48 ] reported that, with a proper code and the right mode to exploit the features and potential of inexpensive electronics, it is possible to obtain valuable data that can provide useful insights for structural health monitoring applications.…”

Globally, corrosion is the costliest cause of the deterioration of metallic and concrete structures, leading to significant financial losses and unexpected loss of life. Therefore, corrosion monitoring is vital to the assessment of structures’ residual performance and for the identification of pathologies in early stages for the predictive maintenance of facilities. However, the high price tag on available corrosion monitoring systems leads to their exclusive use for structural health monitoring applications, especially for atmospheric corrosion detection in civil structures. In this paper a systematic literature review is provided on the state-of-the-art electrochemical methods and physical methods used so far for corrosion monitoring compatible with low-cost sensors and data acquisition devices for metallic and concrete structures. In addition, special attention is paid to the use of these devices for corrosion monitoring and detection for in situ applications in different industries. This analysis demonstrates the possible applications of low-cost sensors in the corrosion monitoring sector. In addition, this study provides scholars with preferred techniques and the most common microcontrollers, such as Arduino, to overcome the corrosion monitoring difficulties in the construction industry.

“…A MEMS-based accelerometer with a wireless board was used as a sensor for measuring vibrations on a pedestrian deck-stiffened arch bridge, providing results very similar to those of experimental studies [ 7 ]. In another study, low-cost MEMS accelerometers with an Arduino module were utilized to address the noise density and synchronization problem and then used to remotely monitor the structural health of bridges [ 8 ]. Apart from vibration monitoring of machines discussed above, MEMS accelerometers are also used to monitor vibrations in automotives.…”

In this paper, the viability of MEMS accelerometers is investigated to measure vibration parameters related to different locations of a vehicle with respect to the automotive dynamic functions. The data is collected to compare the accelerometer performances in different locations on the vehicle, including on the hood above the engine, on the hood above the radiator fan, over the exhaust pipe, and on the dashboard. The power spectral density (PSD), together with the time and frequency domain results, confirm the strength and frequencies of the sources of vehicle dynamics. The frequencies obtained from the vibrations of the hood above the engine and radiator fan are approximately 44.18 Hz and 38 Hz, respectively. In terms of the vibration amplitude, the measured amplitudes are between 0.5 g and 2.5 g in both cases. Furthermore, the time domain data collected on the dashboard during driving mode reflects the road condition. Overall, the knowledge obtained from the various tests conducted in this paper can be advantageous for further control and development of vehicle diagnostics, safety, and comfort.
