    Structure Health Monitoring Using Wireless Sensor Networks on Structural Elements
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2019-01) Ayyildiz, Cem; Erdem, H. Emre; Dirikgil, Tamer; Dugenci, Oguz; Kocak, Taskin; Altun, Fatih; Gungor, V. Cagri
    This paper presents a system that monitors the health of structural elements in Reinforced Concrete (RC), concrete elements and/or masonry buildings and warn the authorities in case of physical damage formation. Such rapid and reliable detection of impairments enables the development of better risk management strategies to prevent casualties in case of earthquake and floods. Piezoelectric (PZT) sensors with lead zirconate titanate material are the preferred sensor type for fracture detection. The developed sensor mote hardware triggers the PZT sensors and collects the responses they gather from the structural elements. It also sends the collected data to a data center for further processing and analysis in an energy-efficient manner utilizing low-power wireless communication technologies. The access and the analysis of the collected data can be remotely performed via a web interface. Performance results show that the fractures serious enough to cause structural problems can be successfully detected with the developed system. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Lifetime Analysis of Underwater Wireless Networks Concerning Privacy With Energy Harvesting and Compressive Sensing
    (IEEE, 2019-04) Uyan, O. Gokhan; Gungor, V. Cagri
    Underwater sensor networks (UWSN) are a division of classical wireless sensor networks (WSN), which are designed to accomplish both military and civil operations, such as invasion detection and underwater life monitoring. Underwater sensor nodes operate using the energy provided by integrated limited batteries, and it is a serious challenge to replace the battery under the water especially in harsh conditions with a high number of sensor nodes. Here, energy efficiency confronts as a very important issue. Besides energy efficiency, data privacy is another essential topic since UWSN typically generate delicate sensing data. UWSN can be vulnerable to silent positioning and listening, which is injecting similar adversary nodes into close locations to the network to sniff transmitted data. In this paper, we discuss the usage of compressive sensing (CS) and energy harvesting (EH) to improve the lifetime of the network whilst we suggest a novel encryption decision method to maintain privacy of UWSN. We also deploy a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model to optimize the encryption decision cases which leads to an improved network lifetime.

    Analysis of Battery-Powered Sensor Node Lifetime for Smart Grid Applications
    (IEEE, 2016) Eris, Cigdem; Gungor, V. Cagri; Boluk, Pinar Sarisaray
    Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) enable smart grids where sensor nodes monitor and control the important parameters of power grid components. However, energy-aware communication protocols should be developed to extend network lifetime of WSNs in smart grid environments. In this study, the lifetime of wireless sensor nodes has been analyzed for various smart grid environments, such as 500 kV substation, main power control room, and underground network transformer vaults. In addition, the effects of different operation modes of sensor nodes on node lifetime have been reviewed.

    Endüstriyel Kablosuz Algılayıcı Ağlarda Hata Kontrol Sistemlerinin Ağ Yaşam Süresine Etkileri
    (IEEE, 2019-04) Tekin, Nazli; Gungor, V. Cagri
    Due to the harsh channel conditions of the industrial environment, the data transmission over wireless channel suffers from erroneous packets. The energy consumption of error control schemes is of vital importance for battery-powered Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In this paper, the performance evaluation of error control schemes namely, Automatic Repeat Request (ARQ), Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Hybrid ARQ (HARQ) in industrial environment in terms of energy efficiency is presented. The impact of the existing error control schemes on the industrial wireless sensor network lifetime is analyzed. A novel Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) framework is developed to maximize network lifetime. Performance results show that utilizing BCH (31,21,5) for Telos at the link layer maximizes the network lifetime while attaining the desired application reliability rate.

    Enerji Hasadı Yapan Sualtı Kablosuz Duyarga Düğümlerinin Yaşam Ömrü Analizi
    (IEEE, 2017) Erdem, H. Emre; Gungor, V. Cagri
    The application of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) in underwater environments poses various challenges. One of the most important problems is the limited lifetime of underwater sensor nodes. Considering how challenging and costly it is to change the batteries of sensor nodes in underwater environments, energy harvesting methods arc rendered as a promising solution. In this study, the contributions of energy harvesting via turbine and hydrophone harvesters as well as schedule and trigger driven energy management methods on node lifetime have been analyzed. Performance evaluations have been conducted considering real-life conditions, e.g. flow rates, of Istanbul Bosphorus Strait.
