Challenge

Provide a portable, high-sensitivity monitoring system that can capture structural vibrations under natural operating conditions without external excitation, while serving the dual purpose of education and applied engineering studies.

Solution

The deployment is based on the xDAS Ambient system, consisting of:

  • 8 xWave Ambient triaxial accelerometer channels (32-bit, 0.7 µg/√Hz sensitivity) for high-precision ambient vibration monitoring.
  • xPlorer Ambient as the central acquisition and processing module, delivered together with Voyager software for real-time monitoring and data management.
  • Observer software suite for advanced analysis, enabling Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) to extract modal properties such as natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes.

The system is fully portable, battery-operated, and capable of transmitting measurement data via a local wireless network to PCs, tablets, or smartphones, ensuring ease of use in both laboratory and field environments.

Outcomes

This deployment enables the University to:

  • Advance research and validation studies on buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure.
  • Provide students with hands-on training in modern SHM technologies.
  • Conduct structural inspections with reliable, real-time data.

Benefit from a portable, user-friendly system that bridges academic value with applied engineering practice.
