| Summary: | Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is a very crucial part of
maintenance and management of buildings and structures. The use of SHM in
recent years has been increasing due to the advancement in technology and the
availability of nanodevices and nanosensors which can detect damaged part or
crack in a structure. In this paper, PSpice simulation was carried out to show the
response of the integrated electronic piezoelectric (IEPE) with a VPWL-source.
Then, practical experiment was done using Arduino Mega with the ADXL335
accelerometer in a laboratory setup. LabVIEW software was used along with
Arduino IDE software to make graphical visualization of accelerometer reading
to be captured. Furthermore, a web service was deployed which enabled
LabVIEW data transmission to a smartphone running Data Dashboard
application for real-time monitoring anywhere. Therefore, making the system
an ecosystem of Internet of Things enabling the user to access monitoring
system while on the move. The result of the vibration test on the accelerometer
showed that the accelerometer response to small changes in the x, y and z axis
of the accelerometer which can be used to detect micro-movements in a
structure. |
