Zusammenfassung:This paper presents a non-invasive methodology for structural health monitoring (SHM) integrated with inertial sensors and signal conditioning techniques. The proposal uses the signal of an IMU (inertial measurement unit) tri-axial accelerometer and gyroscope to continuously measure the displacements of a structure in motion due to seismic vibrations. A system, called the “Inertial Displacement Monitoring System” or “IDMS”, is implemented to attenuate the signal error of the IMU with methodologies such as a Kalman filter to diminish the influence of white noise, a Chebyshev filter to isolate the frequency values of a seismic motion, and a correction algorithm called zero velocity observation update (ZVOB) to detect seismic vibrations and diminish the influence of external perturbances. As a result, the IDMS is a methodology developed to measure displacements when a structure is in motion due to seismic vibration and provides information to detect failures opportunely.
