As no civil infrastructure can escape aging and deterioration, health monitoring can prevent and report serious structural damage. With the rapid evolution of computer vision algorithms, optical-based systems become an increasingly feasible option for automatic monitoring. This paper proposes a cheap and flexible standalone system based on marker tracking to report deflection of structural elements of civil infrastructure. A single marker is placed on tracked objects, which allows unambiguous identification of objects and accurate movement tracking. Accuracy of the system is discussed by presenting a theoretical analysis of the translation error. Additionally, as a proof of concept we extend our work with a low-cost laboratory test implementation.

In order to explore the effective damage identification method for structure, the structural vibration signal is directly correlation dimension analyzed according to fractal theory, and structural damage is identified by measuring the singularity in system output, then the method for structural damage identification based on correlation dimension of vibration response is proposed. The damage analysis results of a simply supported beam demonstrate that, the proposed method can accurately detect single and multi different degree damage’s location of beam structure, and alteration of correlation dimension will increase along with the damage degree

Structural health monitoring systems (SHMS) are increasingly being considered for implementation in a wide range of industries, including transport, civil infrastructure, and energy production. As the application of SHM systems increase, it will be increasingly important to quantify the durability, reliability, and reparability of the SHM system. This paper investigates the electrical and electro-mechanical characteristics of piezoelectric sensors in an attempt to distinguish sensor failure from structural damage [10]. This study involved the measurements of pertinent electrical properties for MFC (Macro Fibre Composite) sensor under fatigue loading and comparison of the strain measurements to characterize the degradation of the structure as well as the MFC. Changes in the capacitance and inductance of this sensor have been recorded, highlighting deleterious structural changes in the sensor itself without any discernible change in the structure being monitored.
