Abstract

This study focuses on an experimental damage detection and correlation-based localization demonstration using wireless sensors. A simple cantilever beam has been constructed in the laboratory to serve as a test bed for measuring acceleration responses with these devices. The goal of this preliminary investigation is to test the feasibility and functionality of a wireless sensor network (WSN) to detect and localize damage utilizing current wireless mote technology
