CRIS Current Research Information System
IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishStructural health monitoring (SHM) systems are becoming increasingly widespread and are in some cases mandated by law. A major factor limiting the diffusion of such systems is the lack of low-cost low-power sensor nodes, which can be deployed in large numbers in hard-to-reach areas, while providing high-quality precise measurements over their entire lifespan with minimum maintenance and withstanding climatic stress. In this paper, we present a cost-effective wireless component for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) that measure and track cracks in concrete and other construction materials. The sensor combines a microprocessor with LoRaWAN wireless communication, an analog transducer, and a solar energy harvester, allowing long-term remote monitoring with easy plug and play installation. Experimental results demonstrate that we achieved about 1\mu\mathrmm accuracy and an expected lifetime of more than 10 years, with stable measurements across a-IS-65°C temperature range.

| Abstract: | Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are becoming increasingly widespread and are in some cases mandated by law. A major factor limiting the diffusion of such systems is the lack of low-cost low-power sensor nodes, which can be deployed in large numbers in hard-to-reach areas, while providing high-quality precise measurements over their entire lifespan with minimum maintenance and withstanding climatic stress. In this paper, we present a cost-effective wireless component for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) that measure and track cracks in concrete and other construction materials. The sensor combines a microprocessor with LoRaWAN wireless communication, an analog transducer, and a solar energy harvester, allowing long-term remote monitoring with easy plug and play installation. Experimental results demonstrate that we achieved about 1\mu\mathrmm accuracy and an expected lifetime of more than 10 years, with stable measurements across a-IS-65°C temperature range. |
