RFID is a rapidly developing technology of wireless communication and identification mostly used in supply chain systems, logistic and access control. Nowadays attempts to transfer this technology to other applications are carried out. This paper presents review of global researches performed last years, on application of RFID technology to tasks connected with wireless passive sensing in Structural Health Monitoring, with additional overview of works conducted in this subject by the authors. Sensors based on this technology require neither battery nor wire. It could be interrogated from distance, its lifetime is almost unlimited. Investigations, focused both on using RFID transponder as a sensing element, as well as, using antenna as a energy harvesting part that could power the sensor circuit, are mentioned. Performed studies show, that despite problems connected with using high frequencies, described wireless sensors should be useful for SHM tasks.

The Impact

In the last decade the research concerning Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems have continuously investigated toward autonomous systems based on sensor networks. The different functional blocks of these systems are described introducing first the basic concepts for the impact detection applications based on piezoelectric sensors for ultrasonic guided Lamb waves generated into planar structures. Then the paper will review the recent progresses of the research with focus on the integration of sensors with the electronic interface, including the embedding of sensors with the structure that is represented by the smart-skin concept. The latter benefits of the advancement in piezoelectric MEMS sensors with small footprint mounted on flexible substrates. This new layout of sensors is essential for the system design based on a network of sensors nodes with real time signal acquisition capability for impact event capture. The options of a wired or wireless sensors network are also discussed for different dimensions of the monitored structure. The multifunctional sensors capability is also a new feature discussed in the paper for sensing the environmental conditions that affect the Lamb wave signals interpretation. The power supply by environmental energy of an autonomous sensor node is another research field where large innovation is occurred and a review of energy harvesting devices is reported. The embedded signal processing capabilities in a node with IoT based wireless sensors networks, is an important fertilization between different disciplines and examples of SHM system tested in real-life application are discussed. Finally, the large capacity of data transfer of sensors networks toward large storage data archives also with low power WiFi protocols is the new frontier for exploring artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to big data and the recent research outcomes for impact detection and characterization in complex structures are reported.
