1. 2010-2010 AYREU Faculty: Dr. Dharma P. Agrawal Students: Hannah Kim (no contact yet) Samuel Weil Applying Wireless Sensor Networks to Aerospace Engineering Applications

2. Objectives  Apply a sensor network to monitor the force, strain, or stress on a wing of an object on a real time basis  Determine which network set up would be best suited for this application  Design experiment to test network  Run experiment and analyze the results to determine usefulness of the network for a real world application

3. Procedure  Determine which sensors and sensor add-ons of a Telosb mote can be used to find the stress, strain and force on the wing  Determine which type of network setup would be best suited for our application  Program the sensor to transmit data at pre-specified intervals  Design experiments to test the accuracy and usefulness of the sensor network  Run experiment and analyze the results

4. Telosb  Telosb has a small wireless transmitter and receiver  It have four default sensors, measuring visible light, a large spectrum of light, temperature, and humidity  Expansion ports allow for numerous other sensors to be attached, including stress and strain sensors that we plan to use for this project  A small operating system called TinyOS is used to run and compile programs for the Telosb devices
