17.12.1. Characteristics of CPS in SHM

Try these first

1. 1.

   What is embedded computation in CPS?

   Hint

   Think about where intelligence is built into structures.

2. 2.

   What does adaptive monitoring imply?

   Hint

   Consider how monitoring can change with different conditions.

3. 3.

   What does CPS stand for?

   • Centralized Processing System
   • Cyber-Physical System
   • Critical Physical Security

   Hint

   Focus on the combination of computing and physical components.

4. 4.

   True or False: Real-Time Analytics provides data insights after a delay.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the word 'real-time' and its meaning.

5. 5.

   Design a conceptual CPS for monitoring the stability of a tall building after a seismic event. What characteristics would it need?

   Hint

   Consider how each characteristic contributes to overall safety.

6. 6.

   Evaluate the pros and cons of implementing a decentralized system for SHM compared to a centralized one.

   Hint

   Think critically about operational aspects.
