are placed on nodes 6 to 15, and nodes 8, 10, and 12 become cluster heads. Local sensor<br />

communities organized by nodes 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 are denoted as sensor communities 1,<br />

2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Each node measures acceleration in three directions. Because<br />

this validation exercise is monitoring the vertical plane of the truss, only longitudinal and<br />

vertical acceleration records are utilized.<br />

Figure 8.6. Cross-spectral density estimates from Imote2 data.<br />

The acceleration responses are measured by Imote2s, and the correlation functions are<br />

estimated. The vertical acceleration signal at the cluster head node is used as the reference<br />

signal. One of the estimated correlation functions and the associated frequency domain<br />

representation, the cross-spectral densities, are shown in Figures 8.5 and 8.6. These<br />

estimates show agreement with those estimated on a PC using the same data from<br />

Imote2s.<br />
