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…

Systematic Validation and Expansion of Thermal Imaging Algorithms for Muscular Activity and Fatigue Monitoring
Contacts: Marta Gandolla, Andrea Dal Prete Location: Politecnico di Milano (Bovisa Campus) Motivation of the study: Monitoring muscle activation and fatigue is crucial for optimizing physical performance and preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in industrial environments where back-support exoskeletons are increasingly used. While Surface Electromyography (SEMG) is the traditional gold standard, it suffers from limitations such as…
