Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) gradually becomes a technique for ensuring the health and safety of civil infrastructures and is also an important approach for the research of the damage accumulation and disaster evolving characteristics of civil infrastructures. It is attracting prodigious research interests and the active development interests of scientists and engineers because a great number of civil infrastructures are planned and built every year in mainland China. In a SHM system the sheer number of accompanying wires, fiber optic cables, and other physical transmission medium is usually prohibitive, particularly for such structures as offshore platforms and long-span structures. Fortunately, with recent advances in technologies in sensing, wireless communication, and micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS), wireless sensor technique has been developing rapidly and is being used gradually in the SHM of civil engineering structures. In this paper, some recent advances in the research, development, and implementation of wireless sensors for the SHM of civil infrastructures in mainland China, especially in Dalian University of Technology (DUT) and Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), are introduced. Firstly, a kind of wireless digital acceleration sensors for structural global monitoring is designed and validated in an offshore structure model. Secondly, wireless inclination sensor systems based on Frequency-hopping techniques are developed and applied successfully to swing monitoring of large-scale hook structures. Thirdly, wireless acquisition systems integrating with different sensing materials, such as Polyvinylidene Fluoride(PVDF), strain gauge, piezoresistive stress/strain sensors fabricated by using the nickel powder-filled cement-based composite, are proposed for structural local monitoring, and validating the characteristics of the above materials. Finally, solutions to the key problem of finite energy for wireless sensors networks are discussed, with future works also being introduced, for example, the wireless sensor networks powered by corrosion signal for corrosion monitoring and rapid diagnosis for large structures.

Recently, landslides frequently occur on natural slope and/or man-made cut slope during periods of intense rainfall. With a rapidly increasing population on or near steep terrain, landslides have become one of the most significant natural hazards. Thus, it is necessary to protect people from landslides and to minimize the damage of houses, roads and other facilities. To accomplish this goal, many landslide monitoring systems have been developed throughout the world. In this paper, a simple landslide detection system that enables people to escape the endangered area is introduced. The system is focused on the debris flows which happen frequently during periods of intense rainfall. The system is based on the wireless sensor network (WSN) that is composed of wireless sensor nodes, gateway, and remote server system. Wireless sensor nodes and gateway are deployed by commercially available Microstrain G-Link products. Five wireless sensor nodes and one gateway are installed at the test slope for detecting ground movement. The acceleration and inclination data of test slope can be obtained, which provides a potential to detect landslide. In addition, thresholds to determine whether the test slope is stable or not are suggested by a series of numerical simulations, using geotechnical analysis software package. It is obtained that the alarm should be issued if the x-direction displacement of sensor node is greater than 20mili-meters and the inclination of sensor node is greater than 3 degrees. It is expected that the landslide detection method using wireless senor network can provide early warning where landslides are prone to occur.

Recently, landslides have frequently occurred on natural slopes during periods of intense rainfall. With a rapidly increasing population on or near steep terrain in Korea, landslides have become one of the most significant natural hazards. Thus, it is necessary to protect people from landslides and to minimize the damage of houses, roads and other facilities. To accomplish this goal, many landslide prediction methods have been developed in the world. In this study, a simple landslide prediction system that enables people to escape the endangered area is introduced. The system is focused to debris flows which happen frequently during periods of intense rainfall. The system is based on the wireless sensor network (WSN) that is composed of sensor nodes, gateway, and server system. Sensor nodes comprising a sensing part and a communication part are developed to detect ground movement. Sensing part is designed to measure inclination angle and acceleration accurately, and communication part is deployed with Bluetooth (IEEE 802.15.1) module to transmit the data to the gateway. To verify the feasibility of this landslide prediction system, a series of experimental studies was performed at a small-scale earth slope equipped with an artificial rainfall dropping device. It is found that sensing nodes installed at slope can detect the ground motion when the slope starts to move. It is expected that the landslide prediction system by wireless senor network can provide early warnings when landslides such as debris flow occurs.

제약만족문제(Constraint Satisfaction Problem)의 연구에서 밝혀졌듯이, 제약최적화 문제(Constraint Optimization Problem)를 효율적으로 풀기 위해서는 변수순서화의 경험적 방법이 매우 중요하다. 이기종이 혼합된 무선 센서 네트웍의 에너지 효율적인 집단화 같은 문제는 클러스터 헤드가 기지국에 가깝게 위치하려는 경향이 있다. 본 논문은 이 집단화 문제를 풀기 위해서 정적 우선순위 변수 순서화에 기반을 둔 새로운 접근방법을 제시하고. pnode 라는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 pnode 알고리즘은 우선순위가 가장 높은 변수를 다음 변수로 선택한다. 집단화문제에 있어서 우선순위가 높다는 것은 클러스터 헤드가 최적지역에 근접하게 된다는 것을 의미하며 이것은 문제의 성격상 미리 정해진다. 클러스터화 된 센서 네트웍에서 클러스터 헤드는 에너지 소비가 가장 많이 일어나는 곳이기 때문에 센서 노드뿐만 아니라 클러스터 헤드에서 발생하는 최대 에너지 소비를 최소화하도록 만드는 방법을 찾는 것이 본 논문의 목적이다. pnode알고리즘을 사용하여 시뮬레이션 한 결과 제안된 방법이 다른 방법들보다 우수함을 알 수 있었다.

In this paper, we implemented a safety navigation mobile application that converged AtoN information and location-based services. When application user uses the smartphone's GPS sensor to transmit the user's vessel location data to the data server, the user receives information of which its providing range is considered, such as stored AtoN data, neighboring vessels information, danger area, and weather information in the server. Providing information is sorted based on the smartphone's direction and inclination and it will be also delivered via wireless network (5G, LTE, 3G, WiFi). Additionally the application is available to implement other functions such as information provision through voice and text alarming service when the user's vessel is either approaching or entering the danger area, and an expanded information provision service that is available in shadow area linking with data-storing methods; other linkable data such as weather and other neighboring vessels will be applied based on the lasted-saved data perceived from the non-shadow area.

경사계 센서는 여러분야에서 널리 적용되고 있는 센서 중의 하나이다. 특히 건축분야에서는 초고층 건물의 수직도와 수평도를 계측하고 모니터링하는데 적용되어 왔다. 최근 미소전기기계 시스템(MEMS: Micro Electro-Mechanical System)기술의 발달로 인해 많은 센서들이 개발되었다. 본 논문에서 논하고자 하는 MEMS형 경사계는 MEMS형 가속도계를 기반으로 한다. 정지한 상태에서 가속도계로 계측되는 정적 가속도와 중력가속도 사이의 관계를 이용하면 센서에 발생하는 경사를 계측할 수 있기 때문이다. 이러한 원리 때문에 좀 더 정확하고 이점을 갖는 경사계가 개발되었다. 보 실험을 통하여서 레이저 변위계와의 차이를 검증하였다. 실험결과 무선 MEMS형 경사계 센서 시스템은 높은 정확도, 안정성, 장기모니터링에 대한 경제성을 갖는 유용한 시스템임을 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로 무선 MEMS형 경사계 센서 시스템은 건축분야에서 그리고 다른 여러 산업분야에서 정확하고 편리한 모니터링 시스템으로 적용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
