Riassunto

Sensors for civil infrastructure performance assessment and health monitoring have evolved significantly over the past decade with advances through high speed and low-cost electronic circuits, advances in fabrication and manufacturing methodologies, use of novel “smart” materials, and development of highly efficient signal validation and processing methods. Volume 1 of this two-volume series describes sensing hardware and data collection covering a variety of sensors, including fiber optic systems, acoustic emission, piezoelectric sensors, and electromagnetic sensors, ultrasonic methods, radar and millimeter wave technology, strain gauges, micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), multifunctional materials and nanotechnology for sensing, and vision-based sensing and lasers.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Sensors are used for civil infrastructure performance assessment and health monitoring, and have evolved significantly through developments in materials and methodologies.Sensor technologies for civil infrastructure Volume I provides an overview of sensor hardware and its use in data collection.

The first chapters provide an introduction to sensing for structural performance assessment and health monitoring and an overview of commonly used sensors and their data acquisition systems. Further chapters address different types of sensor including piezoelectric transducers, fiber optic sensors, acoustic emission sensors and electromagnetic sensors and the use of these sensors for assessing and monitoring civil infrastructures. Developments in technologies to do with civil infrastructure performance assessment are also discussed, including radar technology, micro-electro-mechanical systems and nanotechnology.

Sensor technologies for civil infrastructure will provide a standard reference for structural and civil engineers, electronics engineers and academics with an interest in the field.
