Long-Term Health Monitoring of Structures under Variable Loading

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, there are presented theoretical fundamentals of a real-time health monitoring for a pipeline system. The calculation of the total stress is based on measuring of the real loadings in the form of time-varying strains in critical places of a pipeline system in its real operation. Presented unique deployment of the strain sensors allows to decompose the individual components of loading in cross-section including its vector´s characteristics. The presented monitoring system pursuing the dangerous operational states like an overloading, dangerous vibrations and the fatigue damage accumulation. Monitoring system provides the information about real state of the structure in-time and directly to an operator of service.
