Integration of Biosensors for More Efficient Structural Health Monitoring
Publication: Structures Congress 2010: 19th Analysis and Computation Specialty Conference
Abstract
Due to the complexity of monitoring the integrity of existing structures, current research in the area of structural health monitoring (SHM) has highlighted the need for more effective damage detection methodologies and efficient sensing devices. The development in nanotechnology in terms of precision, sensitivity, energy harvesting, and wireless capability will provide an unprecedented generation of sensors to the field of structural health monitoring. While several biosensors are in use for industrial applications, ongoing research in the area of biosensing has great potential to bring in a new generation of sensors with multifunctional and integration capabilities. This work will shed light on the possibility of combining some of the global and local SHM methodologies with different sensors for maximum efficiency and minimal cost for damage detection of civil engineering structures.
