Abstract:

Over the last several decades, wireless sensing technologies have arisen as an inexpensive and robust method of data collection, used in a variety of structural monitoring applications for various types of infrastructure systems. In comparison with their natural counterparts (i.e., cabled monitoring systems), wireless monitoring systems offer low-cost and low-power communication between a large number of sensing devices. However, successful implementation of such technologies is highly dependent on several factors, such as constant power supply, reliable communication, ...
