Abstract

In this demonstration, we are presenting SmartMonitor, a distributed Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) system consisting of smart devices. Over the last few years, the vast majority of smart devices is equipped with accelerometers that can be utilized towards building SHM systems with hundreds of nodes. We describe a scalable, fault-tolerant communication protocol, that performs best-effort time synchronization of the nodes and is used to implement a decentralized version of the popular peak-picking SHM method. The implemented interactive system can be easily installed in any accelerometer-equipped Android device and the user has a number of options for configuring the system or analyzing the collected data and computed outcomes.
