Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). Structural integrity assessment for buildings, bridges, offshore oil rigs, aerospace structures etc. Goals of SHM: Detection “is there damage?” Localization “where is the damage?” Quantification “how severe?” Prognosis “future prediction” Why SHM?.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) • Structural integrity assessment for buildings, bridges, offshore oil rigs, aerospace structures etc. • Goals of SHM: • Detection “is there damage?” • Localization “where is the damage?” • Quantification “how severe?” • Prognosis “future prediction” • Why SHM?

  2. Sensor Networks for SHM • Current SHM • Bi-annual visual inspections (most common) • Limitations of human accessibility and error • Catastrophic failure between inspections • Expensive wired data acquisition systems • Extremely high installation, cabling, and maintenance cost • Wireless Sensor Network based SHM system • Flexible, fast and low cost deployments • No cabling cost

  3. Vibration based SHM • Measure and analyze structural vibrations induced due to heavy winds or earthquakes, etc • Principles behind structural algorithms can be illustrated by strings • Structural response is composed of several harmonics - modes • Mode = < Frequency, Mode Shape> • Damages alter the structural properties and hence the modes • Structural response is measured by using sensors (accelerometers, strain gauges) at several locations in the structure

  4. Existing SHM Techniques

  5. Requirements for SHM Applications • Reliable Delivery • SHM applications are loss-intolerant, sensors need to transmit data reliably • Time Synchronization • Data from various sensors should be time-synchronized to within 100 micro-sec for damage localization. • High Data Rates • A hundred tri-axial sensors sampling at 500Hz can generate a data rate of 5Mbps. • Dense Sensing • The larger the number of sensors the better the performance

  6. Sensors Actuators Motes Deployment • Building Details • 48 inches high, 4 floors, 60 lbs • Floors –1/2 x 12 x 18 aluminum plates • steel 1/2 x 1/8 inch steel columns • 5.5 lb/inch spring braces • 4 actuators on the top floor • 8 motes, 2/floor • 4 Test Cases • braces from floor 4 removed • braces from floor 3 removed • braces from floor 2 removed • braces from floor 2 and 4 removed Jeongyeup Paek, University of Southern California
