Using inertial measurement units originally developed for biomechanics for modal testing of civil engineering structures

Abstract: This paper explores the use of wireless Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) originally developed for bio-mechanical research applications for modal testing of civil engineering infrastructure. Due to their biomechanics origin, these devices combine a triaxial accelerometer with gyroscopes and magnetometers for orientation, as well as on board data logging capability and wireless communication for optional data streaming and to coordinate synchronisation with other IMUs in a network. The motivation for application… Show more

“…The damping ratios were derived from the free decay parts using the logarithmic decrement method and the fitted envelopes are indicated as red lines in modal response plots. The estimation results of modal parameters are given in Table 1 compared with those by the NExT/ERA method in [40]. The frequency estimates match very well with difference within 0.3%.…”
