Embedded wireless sensors for aircraft/automobile tire structural health monitoring

Abstract

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of automobile tires is an active area of research. Within this area, the monitoring of strain on tires using wireless devices and networks is gaining prominence because these techniques do not require any wired connection to a base station. In this paper we discuss a wireless sensor network based strain monitoring architecture for aircraft/automobile tires present some initial results, and outline future plans.
