Testing of Large "Smart" Structures Using Embedded Sensors

该项目的目标是 开发传感器和传感系统 可以监控 已完成民事诉讼的 结构和 建设 该项目将 涉及一系列实验室， 现有和新的现场测试 传感技术，包括 广泛使用嵌入式光学 光纤传感器， 技术将得到发展。 一个 现有设施专用于 研究风工程， 德克萨斯理工大学，一座建筑 佛蒙特大学 校园，一座桥， 年将建水电站大坝 佛蒙特州将是试验地点。 与下列方面有关的基本问题 的工作原理 传感器和合成的 多通道、多格式数据 此外，亦会调查溪流。

The objective of the project is to develop sensors and sensing systems that can monitor the performance and health of completed civil structures and those under construction. The project will involve a series of laboratory and field tests of existing and new sensing technologies, including extensive use of embedded optical fiber sensors for which new techniques will be developed. An existing facility dedicated to studies in wind engineering at the Texas Tech University, a building at the University of Vermont campus, and a bridge and a hydroelectric dam to be built in Vermont will be the test sites. Fundamental questions related to the operating principles of the sensors and the synthesis of the multichannel, multiformat data streams will also be investigated.
