DESIGN OF AN ACTIVE SENSING PLATFORM FOR WIRELESS STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING Anno Accademico Tesi di Laurea di: DANIELE MUSIANI
A major focus of the structural engineering community is to develop systemsand structures that can monitor their own structural integrity in real time. Besidespreventing catastrophic failures, on-line damage detection would reduce costs byminimizing maintenance and inspection cycles. One of the most promising means ofdeveloping these self-monitoring structures is through the integration of smartmaterials into the structures themselves. Among smart materials, piezoelectricmaterials have drawn the attention of the research community because of theireffectiveness, unobtrusiveness and low cost. These materials show a couplingbetween their mechanical and electrical properties and they can be used both forsensing and producing vibrations in a structure. Smart materials open the door to…
