| Summary: | Wireless sensor network provides a good solution for the state monitoring of large-scale structures. Compared to traditional approaches, it can greatly reduce the amount of devices wiring and the weight of the monitoring system. However, research of aviation structure monitoring application based wireless sensor networks is still in the initiation of the exploration stage. In particular, the developed wireless strain sensor node of WSN cannot be used in aviation structure because of low precision and other problems. In this paper, a high-precision and multichannel wireless strain sensor node of WSN is designed in detail. The wireless strain sensor node is composed of power module, multichannel strain sensing acquisition module, data-processing module, and wireless communication module. In addition, its special design of encapsulation makes it shock-proof and possess anti-interference property. To verify the functionality of the designed wireless sensor node for structural strength testing capability, several evaluation experiments are completed on a test piece of real aircraft. The experimental results show that the developed system has good performance in monitoring structural strain. |
