Energy harvesting by magnetostrictive material (MsM) for powering wireless sensors in SHM
A new class of vibrational energy harvester based on Magnetostrictive material (MsM) Metglas 2605SC is deigned, developed, and tested in building practical energy harvesting wireless sensor networks. Compared to piezoelectric material, Metglas 2605SC offers advantages including ultra-high energy conversion efficiency, high power density, longer life cycles without depolarization issue, and flex...
متن کاملRemote area wind energy harvesting for low-power autonomous sensors
A growing demand for deployment of autonomous sensors and sensor networks is leading to a subsequent increase in the demand for localized, independent energy harvesting capabilities for each node. In this paper, a method of remote area wind energy harvesting is presented, with a focus on an anemometer-based solution. By utilizing the motion of the anemometer shaft to turn a compact alternator, ...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal protocol for power-efficient acquisition wireless sensors based SHM
In this work, we address the so-called sensor reachback problem for Wireless Sensor Networks, which consists in collecting the measurements acquired by a large number of sensor nodes into a sink node which has major computational and power capabilities. Focused on applications such as Structural Health Monitoring, we propose a cooperative communication protocol that exploits the spatio-temporal...
متن کاملCitizen Sensors for SHM: Use of Accelerometer Data from Smartphones
Ubiquitous smartphones have created a significant opportunity to form a low-cost wireless Citizen Sensor network and produce big data for monitoring structural integrity and safety under operational and extreme loads. Such data are particularly useful for rapid assessment of structural damage in a large urban setting after a major event such as an earthquake. This study explores the utilization...
متن کاملPower-efficient wireless sensor reachback for SHM
Wireless sensor networks have recently received great attention from the scientic community, because they hold the key to revolutionize many aspects of our economy and life. On the other hand, the design, implementation and operation of a wireless sensor network in a SHM system requires the synergy of many disciplines, including civil engineering, signal processing, networking, etc. The process...
