Smart sensors for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a technique to diagnose an \naccurate and reliable condition of civil infrastructure by collecting and analyzing \nresponses from distributed sensors. In recent years, aging civil structures have \nbeen increasing and they require further developed SHM technology for \ndevelopment of sustainable society. Wireless smart sensor and network \ntechnology, which is one of the recently emerging SHM techniques, enables \nmore effective and economic SHM system in comparison to the existing wired \nsystems. Researchers continue on development of the capability and extension \nof wireless smart sensors, and implement performance validation in various inlaboratory \nand outdoor full-scale experiments.[1] the uses of wireless smart \nsensors has been contributing to the progress of SHM these past years. But the \nuses of it are still being investigated by the researchers to utilize it to its \npossible fullest capability.
