Equipment for a Wireless Sensor for Measuring Deflections and Monitoring Health of Bridges

Amr Baz和Chung FuUniv马里兰州/College Park这是一个分布式传感器系统的设备拨款提案，用于绘制基础设施（如桥梁系统）的挠度和应变场。输出信号将通过测绘所需的设备无线传输至控制站。实地试验将与马里兰州公路管理局合作进行。该项目将产生一种新的无线分布式传感器，用于监测各种民用基础设施，并有助于通过在大学公园校园的虚拟现实实验室的教育计划为学生和工程师的培训奠定基础。

Abstract0420364Amr Baz and Chung FuUniv Maryland/College ParkThis is an equipment grant proposal for distributed sensor systems to map the deflection and strain fields of an infrastructure, such as a bridge system. The output signals will be wireless transmitted to the control station via the equipment to be acquired for the mapping. The field experiment will be conducted in collaboration with the Maryland State Highway Administration. The project will lead to a new class of wireless distributed sensors for monitoring of a wide class of civil infrastructures, and help to develop a foundation for training of students and engineers through education programs at the virtual reality lab at the college Park campus.
