Wireless sensing experiments for structural vibration monitoring of offshore platform

In order to validate the feasibility of applying the wireless sensing technique to structural monitoring of offshore platform,the experiment of wireless sensor network on an offshore platform is presented.A kind of wireless sensors network and its topology structure is put forward,and the design of sensor nodes,base station,communication protocol is discussed according to self-developed wireless sensor network.The research shows that: wireless sensor network applied to offshore platform can reflect the vibration of the structure well;the sensor nodes are fixed and removed expediently,which saves not only the cost of signal line but also installation time,and thus the wireless sensor network has wide foreground and practical value.
