Answering some questions about Structural Health Monitoring

  
  
  
  
  
  
  

In most of life's situations, you either play the role of student or teacher and in some cases, a bit of both. Today, we would like take on the educator role and begin a series of articles answering some of the questions we have gotten over the past decade from some of our clients. Since Structural Health Monitoring is still in it's infancy, we figured what our clients asked, you might too want to know the answers to as well.

TODAY'S QUESTION: This question came from an academic professional looking for a solution for their structural engineering lab.

"We work with various sensor types with our different structural research projects, can your system handle different sensor inputs?"

ANSWER: Yes, our structural health monitoring system was originially developed to be flexible and accept multiple and varying sensor-type inputs. For instance, below is a system for a 122 channel system for a bridge. In this case, the system incorporates accelerometerStructural Monitoring software for Bridgess (uni and tri-axial), traditional strain gauges and environmental sensors to measure temperature, wind speed and direction. We have also worked with other structural monitoring sensor inputs such as:  

  • Strain Gauges:
    • Traditional (mentioned above)
    • Fiber Optic
    • Vibrating Wire
  • Various Temperature Sensors:
    • Thermistor
    • RDT's
    • Thermocouples
  • Displacement:
    • LDVT's
    • Extensionmeters
    • String Pontentiometers
  • Streaming Video
