Conclusions

Abstract

In this book, we investigate a particular application of wireless sensor networks: structural health monitoring. In this book, we first give a review on existing WSN-based SHM systems, and then introduce our hardware design and software design of WSN-based platform called SenetSHM. Afterward, we address three important aspects that we believe are important when designing a WSN-based SHM system: how to realize event-triggered wakeup, how to implement centralized SHM algorithms within a WSN, and how to address the fault tolerance problem in a WSN-based SHM system. We believe the methods and techniques proposed in this book can serve as a guideline for more applications like SHM.

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
