| Abstract |
In smart cities, providing structural health care for multi-storey buildings and bridges are major challenges. Corrosion is the major cause of structural failures in civil infrastructures. Continuous monitoring is essential for timely actions like strengthening of reinforced concrete, repainting the structures using special paints to avoid further corrosion and for performing repairing works. The drawback in the embedded corrosion monitoring system (CMS) is the requirement of power for the operation of components. The inbuilt batteries are restricted by its limited lifetime and periodic replacement is a destructive process. Thus, the power consumption should be minimized to a maximum level in order to increase the battery life time. The prototype CMS was fabricated using a nanowatt microcontroller and low power wireless modules employing electrochemical noise technique. ECN signal due to pitting of mild steel in a simulated concrete environment with 400 ppm of NaCl was verified with conventional SEM and SVET techniques. Further, SoC concept i.e. the different components in the CMS built (which has sensor devices) on a single chip is designed and NoC specific topology in an architecture is adopted to reduce the power consumption and enhance the life of the power back. Network-on-Chip [NoC] employs on-chip communication between many computing resources in a single-chip to overcome communication challenges of System on Chip [SoC] SoC. Many applications needs low-power for enhancing the service life of the system operated in remote places. In this paper the application specific NoC in the corrosion monitoring system is presented. |
