  • Abstract:
    In this work, a previously developed structural health monitoring (SHM) system was advanced toward a ready-for-implementation ; system. Improvements were made with respect to automated data reduction/analysis, data acquisition hardware, sensor types, and ; communication network architecture. ; This report volume (Volume III) summarizes the energy harvesting techniques and prototype development for a bridge monitoring ; system that uses wireless sensors. The wireless sensor nodes are used to collect strain measurements at critical locations on a ; bridge. The bridge monitoring hardware system consists of a base station and multiple self-powered wireless sensor nodes. The ; base station is responsible for the synchronization of data sampling on all nodes and data aggregation. Each wireless sensor node ; include a sensing element, a processing and wireless communication module, and an energy harvesting module. ; The hardware prototype for a wireless bridge monitoring system was developed and tested on the US 30 Bridge over the South ; Skunk River in Ames, Iowa. The functions and performance of the developed system, including strain data, energy harvesting ; capacity, and wireless transmission quality, were studied and are covered in this volume.
