Design and development of wireless acceleration sensor applied to civil engineering structure monitoring

This paper presents a kind of modularization designing method about wireless acceleration sensor applied to civil engineering structure monitoring, and the wireless acceleration sensor is developed. The sensor hardware' s testing principles and designing rules are discussed. and all hardware units are integrated into wireless acceleration sensor node. The software flow of node is given. Acceleration is tested with the wireless acceleration sensor. The research result indicates that the wireless sensor has well precision. The sensor node has many characteristics as gathering the analog and data signals, self-calibration and stabilization, and it is applied compatibly to civil engineering structure monitoring.
