Wireless Sensor Networks in Structural Health
Abstract
Wireless sensor networks for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) application
have attracted much research interest over the last few years because of their
great potential to monitor and maintain the safety of civil structures.
This paper puts forward an effective, feasible and reliable wireless sensor
The hardware and software structure of the monitoring system are introduced
first, and then the system performance under the multi-hop network topology
and TPSN algorithm are analyzed, which is used for enhancing the precision of
time synchronization.
The experiment shows that the performance of the wireless sensor system
achieves the expected effect by comparison with the wired monitoring system.
EXISTING SYSTEM
The
(1) installing communication and power supply cables for the sensors requires a
lot of costs (according to the Yongjong Bridge facility manager, cable wiring
accounts for 50% of the total installation cost);
(2) installation of steel pipelines that protect those cables is also expensive;
PROPOSED SYSTEM
In proposed system , the wireless solution that overcomes these shortcomings
(1) the installation cost is low, as the sensors do not require wiring;
(2) no additional supporting structures, such as conduits for cable are required;
(3) sensors are easily replaceable should they malfunction;
(4) by using Ad-Hoc and Multi-Hop, the reorganization of a sensor network is
relatively easy.
