Abstract:
Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an important
application area for wireless sensor networks. SHM techniques
attempt to autonomously detect and localize damage in large
civil structures. Structural engineers often implement and test
SHM algorithms in a higher level language such as C/Matlab. In
this paper, we describe the design and evaluation of NETSHM,
a sensor network system that allows that allows structural
engineers to program SHM applications in Matlab or C at a
high level of abstraction. In particular, structural engineers do
not have to understand the intricacies of wireless networking, or
the details of sensor data acquisition. We have implemented a
damage detection technique and a damage localization technique
on a complete NETSHM prototype. Our experiments on small
and medium-scale structures show that NETSHM is able to detect
and localized damage perfectly with very few false-positives and
no false negatives, and that it is robust even in realistic wireless
environments.
