On-site monitoring of structural dynamic behavior with accelerometers and Raspberry Pi
Project Description
Vibration based structural health monitoring can detect damage based on frequency analysis of acceleration under wind and other types of loading. This project starts with building a wireless sensing network with wireless accelerometers connected with Raspberry Pi. The wireless accelerometers will then be deployed on campus to monitor the building behavior and health status.
