POSSIBILITIES OF STRESS MEASUREMENT IN STRUCTURES USING MODERN TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

Urgency of the research. In many industrial areas, knowledge of deformation stresses in materials is required. Mainly for safety, continuous monitoring of the condition, the maintenance planning, overall prediction of the service life of structures, as well as for other reasons aimed at saving money and time required for repairs.Target setting. The research aimed to create a "low-cost" monitoring device for monitoring the stresses in the structure, created on the principle of IoT. Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. When designing the system and preparing this paper, we considered both current sources – publications and papers dealing with the current state of development of the monitoring IoT systems as well as existing solutions, which are available on the market. Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The mobile application was not implemented at this stage. It will be implemented in the next stage of development. The research objective. The purpose of this article is to explain how we can create own IoT monitoring system by using Arduino platform. The statement of basic materials. In our work were used components from Arduino, which is the world’s leading open-source hardware and software ecosystem. The company offers a range of software tools, hardware platforms and documentation enabling almost anybody to be creative with technology. Conclusions. The created IoT monitoring device was created on the Arduino platform. The software part was implemented in the Arduino IoT Cloud environment. Testing of the device has proven its functionality during the practical deployment of the created system. It is possible to modify it to best suit the specified requirements.
