Design and testing of a wireless pressure-tap anemometer for distributed wind monitoring
Background and Motivation Accurate characterization of wind loading is fundamental in wind engineering, particularly for slender and flexible structures exposed to turbulent atmospheric flows. Conventional anemometers provide accurate measurements at a specific location, but their use for distributed wind monitoring can become impractical when measurements are required at multiple points over large structures. This issue…

Wireless Sensor-Based Monitoring of Conductor Galloping
Background and Motivation Conductor galloping is a large-amplitude, low-frequency aeroelastic instability that can affect overhead transmission lines under specific combinations of wind conditions and conductor characteristics. The detection and characterization of galloping events in real-world conditions are essential for understanding the phenomenon and for developing reliable prediction and mitigation strategies. This thesis focuses on the…
