Graphene based wireless sensor network for infrastructure monitoring

这一多学科研究项目提出了开发一种最先进、低成本和易于安装的基于石墨烯的结构健康监测无线传感器网络。该系统将基于一种新型的印刷石墨烯应变传感器，该传感器将在确定广泛应变的结构变形方面具有前所未有的准确性，这是以前使用传统应变传感器无法实现的。该传感器将使用商用低功率无线电子设备进行数据采集和通信。结构健康参数，如应变、振动和温度将被上传到服务器数据库，用于结构健康监测和数字双胞胎的发育。无线传感器网络将部署在利兹大学的实验室测试结构中，以及达勒姆郡的一个特定地点的室外。

This multidisciplinary research project proposes the development of a state of the art, low cost and easy to install graphene-based wireless sensor network for Structural Health Monitoring. The system will be based on a novel printed graphene strain sensor that will allow unprecedented accuracy in determining structural deformations for a wide spectrum of strains, previously not achievable with classical strain sensors. The sensor will use commercial low-power wireless electronics for data acquisition and communications. Structural health parameters like strain, vibration and temperature will be uploaded to a server database for structural health monitoring and development of digital twins. The wireless sensor network will be deployed out in laboratory test structures at the University of Leeds and outdoors at a specific site in County Durham.
