This paper reviews the development of energy harvesting for low-power embedded
structural health monitoring (SHM) sensing systems. A statistical pattern recognition …

In the present work we explore some aspects of energy harvesting from unsteady, turbulent
fluid flow using piezoelectric generators. Turbulent flows exhibit a large degree of coherence …

A smart civil structure integrates smart materials, sensors, actuators, signal processors,
communication networks, power sources, diagonal strategies, control strategies, repair …

Civil infrastructure is the backbone of modern society; maintaining this infrastructure is
critical for a healthy society. Wireless smart sensors (WSSs) provide an effective means to …

Guided-wave-and impedance-based structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques have
gained much attention due to their high sensitivity to small defects. One of the popular …

This paper is concerned with the development of the piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH)
device for ubiquitous sensor node (USN). The USN needs auxiliary power to lengthen its …

A physics-based first principles approach is adopted in this study to simulate vibration
signatures from an idealized gear such as a thin spur gear under plane dynamic stresses …

THE solution of elastodynamic partial differential equations by staggered-grid finite
difference method became popular with the work of Virieux [1] and Madariaga [2]. Many …

Preventive maintenance is commonly accepted as an economical solution to prevent
production stops. Machine conditioning may offer data, allowing a reduced frequency of …

Wireless devices have been widely adopted in machine health monitoring because they can
acquire data from machines that are operating and can be installed in hazardous …
