Introduction

Cao, Jiannong; Liu, Xuefeng

Pages: 1 –6

[Civil infrastructure systems such as bridges and buildings are expensive assets of our society. Since they are deteriorating with time, to monitor their condition and provide timely alarms is of crucial importance. Traditional systems monitoring structural condition generally leverage cables to...

Requirements, Challenges, and Summary of Hardware and Software Design for a WSN-Based SHM System

Cao, Jiannong; Liu, Xuefeng

Pages: 7 –11

[Compared to the short-term systems, a typical long-term WSN-based SHM system poses many challenges. In this book, without specifying otherwise, we focus on the design of long-term WSN-based SHM systems. In this chapter, we first describe system requirements. Then we raise a few challenges when...

Enabling Network-Wide and Event-Triggered Wakeup

Cao, Jiannong; Liu, Xuefeng

Pages: 13 –35

[Event-triggered wakeup is widely used in many applications of WSNs such as environmental monitoring, battle field surveillance, forest fire detection, etc. Initially, deployed sensor nodes are put into sleep mode.]

Design of Distributed SHM Algorithms Within WSNs—A Cluster-Based Approach

Cao, Jiannong; Liu, Xuefeng

Pages: 37 –55

[One of the most energy consuming operations in a WSN is wireless data transmission. To overcome this, computation power on the wireless sensor node can be utilized. Instead of streaming the sampled data directly to a central unit, the collected data are processed and only the processed...

Design of Distributed SHM Algorithms Within WSNs-A Networked-Computing Approach

Cao, Jiannong; Liu, Xuefeng

Pages: 57 –77

[In the last chapter, a cluster-based ERA has been used to identify modal parameters. In this approach, deployed sensor nodes are divided into a number of clusters. Sampled data from each cluster are transmitted to its cluster head (CH) and each CH then implements the centralized ERA. The local...

Realizing Fault-Tolerant SHM in WSNs

Cao, Jiannong; Liu, Xuefeng

Pages: 79 –98

[One important application of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is event detection: nodes are tasked to determine whether a particular event of interest is occurring in their sensing range. However, when a large number of low-cost wireless sensor nodes are deployed under harsh environment for a...

Conclusions

Cao, Jiannong; Liu, Xuefeng

Pages: 99 –99

[In this book, we investigate a particular application of wireless sensor networks: structural health monitoring. In this book, we first give a review on existing WSN-based SHM systems, and then introduce our hardware design and software design of WSN-based platform called SenetSHM. Afterward, we...
