Abstract

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is an active area of research devoted to systems that canautonomously and proactively assess the structural integrity of bridges, buildings, and aerospacevehicles. Recent technological advances promise the eventual ability to cover a large civil structurewith low-cost wireless sensors that can continuously monitor a building's structural health, butresearchers face several obstacles to reaching this goal, including high data-rate, data-fidelity, andtime-synchronization requirements. This article describes two systems the authors recently deployed inreal-world structures.
