A Modular Design for Wireless Structural Health Monitoring Applications

This article presents the research and development activity on the Modular Monitoring System (MMS), a low-power wireless modular architecture for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) introduced in 1. The MMS is a device capable to easily interface the vast majority of sensors employed in SHM thanks to a novel modular architecture. In addition, the low-power design allows the MMS to support long-lasting monitoring activities and to support the deployment of modern Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) techniques.
