Basic knowledge of Electrical Engineering (Theory of Circuits), Physics, hopefully Electronics (Fundamentals) are necessary

MEASUREMENTS AND SENSORS FOR INFRASTRUCTURES

 

Part I

Introduction

Measurement concepts

Uncertainty and its determination

Metrological features

Analog and digital measurement chains

Electrical, magnetic, mechanical and thermal sensors

 

Part II

CBRN Sensors and sensing systems

1) chemical devices

2) biological devices

3) Radiological devices

4) Nuclear devices

Filters and Instrumentation for measurement

 

Part III

Applications, exercises and laboratory for SCICI

Construction of circuits for acquisitions from sensors

Ground measurements and insulation

Electrical quantities measurements

Infrared measurements

1) Monitoring fluid pipelines: waterworks, and oil and gas pipelines

2) Civil facilities: bridges, and buildings

3) Bunkers, shelters, and military facilities

4) Nuclear depots

5) Petrochemical facilities

6) Power plants

7) Monitoring disasters due to/within SCICI

Simulations using Matlab, Labview, Solidworks, Comsol, and Proteus

Making students aware of the use of monitoring systems for safety of critical industrial and civil infrastructures (SCICI) in the efforts to control them during and after a wrong operating mode. Giving them the capability of designing and characterizing monitoring systems.

Lessons, exercises, and laboratory activities

Oral and/or written, after an assigned project assessment.
