Abstract
The evolution of the smart structure technology on one side and the recent innovations in ICT have generated a new functionality in structural engineering: wireless structural sensing (WSS). This concept refers to the idea of measuring the structural response of a mechanical component and transmitting in remote the data to a control centre. WSS can be viewed as an extension of the features of a smart structure that includes now not only a sensing capability but also the possibility of transmitting signals, in the presence of a transceiver. In the paper, the characteristics of this technology and the potential outcomes in terms of products and services are illustrated. The constituent elements of the system are also described and the evolution of structural design for such structural systems is highlighted in terms of the driving design parameters. Some basic demonstrators produced by the research group of the authors are also illustrated as practical implementation of the WSS technology.
