Sensor Synchronization in Structural Health Monitoring
Why Time Synchronization Matters in Structural Health Monitoring A bridge, dam, building or tower does not vibrate at only one point. When wind, traffic, machinery or ground motion excites a structure, different sections move at the same time—but not necessarily in the same direction or with the same amplitude. To understand this behaviour, engineers commonly […]
The Importance of High Sensitivity Accelerometers
Vibrations We Can’t Feel: How a High-Sensitivity Accelerometer Can Reveal Structural Motion On a quiet night or a calm day, it may appear completely still. But that’s only for our eyes! In reality, every structure, especially a civil structure, is continually responding to the effects of its surroundings. Wind, traffic, machinery, footsteps, temperature changes and […]
Digitex Systems: Intelligent SHM Alarming
What is Intelligent Alarming? Effective alarming in Structural Health Monitoring is not only about detecting high values. It is about identifying abnormal behaviour. Furthermore, reducing false alarms and ensuring that every warning leads to a clear response. These principles are central to an established alarming system. 1. Thresholds should detect abnormal behaviour A high value […]
The New Top-Notch Digital Accelerometer D305
The D305 Triaxial Digital Accelerometer: Best-in-Class for SHM! In structural health monitoring, the quality of every analysis depends on the quality of the vibration monitoring data. For bridges, dams, buildings, towers, mines, and other critical infrastructure, civil engineers, asset owners, and building managers need vibration equipment that reliably detects even the smallest vibrations. That is […]
