Wireless sensor network, structural health monitoring, strain gauge, X-Bee ProAbstract
This paper proposes a new design for structural health monitoring devices system by integrating the strain gauge in digital sensor signal and embedded wireless communication system. X-Bee Pro modules are proposed to be integrated with the system to provide long range wireless connectivity to the devices. This system is designed to enhance the efficiency of structural health monitoring by obtaining real time data remotely from a different place. In order to achieve objectives and to develop a smart wireless system for structural health monitoring, the methodology of this study includes hardware designing and interfacing of a prototype according to the model system. Smart wireless sensor networks for structure health monitoring have the potential to facilitate more economical management in structure monitoring. Â
