In tree-structured data collection sensor networks, packets are routed towards a sink node
by iteratively choosing a node's immediate parent node as the next hop. It is however …

Membrane action of beams and floors are important mechanisms of load redistribution and
progressive collapse resistance in the event of failure of load-bearing elements. The …

In this paper we tackle the problem of allowing applications to request different data at
different rates from different sensors of the same sensor network while still being able to run …

High-frequency sampling is not only a prerogative of high-energy physics or machinery
diagnostic monitoring: critical environmental and structural health monitoring applications …

The paper presents a reconfigurable wireless sensor network for structural health
monitoring. Real-time and periodic structural health monitoring can reduce the probability of …

We present a direct-write, dispenser printing method for additively fabricating solid-state,
thick film carbon supercapacitors directly onto any substrate in room temperature, ambient …

We provide an overview of recent work on distributed and agile sensing algorithms and their
implementation. Modern sensor systems with embedded processing can allow for …

In this article, we consider the goal of achieving high throughput in a wireless sensor
network. Our work is set in the context of those wireless sensor network applications which …

Natural hazards could be very destructive. One challenge that society faces is how to
rapidly, accurately and economically evaluate the damage of structures in the aftermath of a …

The work deals with the main findings obtained during the development of a permanent
structural health monitoring system for a monumental church, the Basilica S. Maria di …
