Design of an Antenna Operated at Microwave Frequencies for Detection of Alkali-Silica Detection (Structural Health Monitoring) |
|
Title: Design of an Antenna Operated at Microwave Frequencies for Detection of Alkali-Silica Detection (Structural Health Monitoring)
Overview of the project
Portland cement-based structures are being used widely in construction industry. Some aggregates involving specific silica minerals (opal,
obsidian, cristobalite, tridymite, etc.) and reactive minerals (Na and K) in alkali hydroxide produce alkali-silica-reaction (ASR). ASR gel
around and within aggregates produces micro-macro cracks (decrease in load capacity and eventually deterioration) in these structures by
expanding after imbibing water around (hygroscopic). This, especially for Turkey present on seismic belts, necessitates accurate and
nondestructive detection of ASR amount during production and service lives of these structures. The common technique used in the literature
is to measure the expansion of prepared samples through physical or weight measurements. In this study, an antenna will be designed, as a
new measuring or diagnostic tool, to detect alkali silica reaction within cement and/or jeopolimer samples. The antenna will have a
resonance frequency between 1-3 GHz, and has a sensitivity sufficient to detect the ASR.
What is the design in this project?
A Vivaldi (broadband) or patch antenna (narrowband) will be designed to implement the detection of ASR within Portland cement-based
structures.
What realistic constraints is the project outcome expected to
satisfy?
It is expected that the antenna system will work between 0.1 and 4 GHz. It can be a reflection-resonance or transmission-resonant type.
It should have a magnitude value less than -30 dB at resonance for the patch antenna and have a bandwidth at least between 0.1 and 4 GHz
for the Vivaldi antenna. It is expected to non-invasively detect ASR by means of magnitude change or resonant frequency shift.
Under which realistic circumstances is the designed product/system
supposed to operate?
It is expected that the proposed system will operate at ordinary laboratory conditions.
What are the specific criteria for the success of the project?
The following criteria are sufficient for this project to be considered for its success.

Title: Design a setup or mechanism to determine the temperature-dependent characterization of liquid or solid materials in certain frequency ranges using a peltier system
Overview of the project
Thermoelectric coolers (peltier coolers) are semiconductors that work like small heat pumps, usually in the form of semiconductor
electrodes located between two ceramic plates. With a small voltage supplied from a direct current source, heat moves from one end of the
module to the other. Thus, while one side of the module heats up, the other side begins to cool simultaneously. Likewise, it can be
reversed by reversing the positive and negative poles of the direct current source. As it is known, some liquids have different
characterization properties depending on different temperature values in certain frequency ranges. In this project, the electrical
characterization of some liquids (or materials) depending on temperature in certain frequency ranges will be examined using the peltier
system. Within the scope of this project, a peltier system will be designed to measure samples with a HIOKI brand IM3570 model impedance
analyzer (with a frequency spectrum of 4Hz-5MHz) and Vector Network Analyzer (for microwave frequency range) available in our laboratory.
This design will allow us to observe the resistance (R), capacitance (C), and inductance (L) values of liquids simultaneously and at
different temperatures. We predict that this design will be able to detect the effect of temperature on materials more accurately.
What is the design in this project?
A Peltier system with an integrated material container will be designed to examine the electrical properties of identical materials at
low frequencies and different temperatures.
What realistic constraints is the project outcome expected to
satisfy?
It is anticipated that measurements to be carried out with this system (especially for liquids) will have different resistance,
inductance, and capacitance values at different temperatures. In addition, measuring materials at different temperatures and simultaneously
(without temperature loss) will enable us to obtain more accurate results.
Under which realistic circumstances is the designed product/system
supposed to operate?
It is expected that the proposed system will operate under ordinary laboratory conditions.
What are the specific criteria for the success of the project?
The following criteria are sufficient for this project to be considered for its success.
It should operate between 0°C and 100 °C.
It should have an identical sample container for accurate measurement.
The system should allow automatic (remote) measurement.

A Tracking system for Alzheimer’s Patient |
|
Title: A Tracking system for Alzheimer’s Patient
Overview of the project
Many elderly persons may live in elderly homes or retirement homes and have many health-related problems. It is difficult for the staff to
keep track of the health of all the individuals and reach them in time in case assistance is needed. In this situation, a cost-effective
device keeps track of various health data such as heart rate, temperature, blood oxygen, and an emergency like fall detection. In addition,
if the elderly person is lost, we would have GPS tracking enabled to determine their location and assist them as needed. Our connecting web
application would allow the elderly home caretakers to monitor multiple elderly people simultaneously, track individual health
irregularities, and communicate them to the doctors. A notification would be sent on the app when an irregular critical heart rate or
breathing activity for a particular person is observed, and an alarm on the person would be triggered. The alarm will also be triggered
when a fall is detected. We could also store past health data points in a database and monitor for any irregularities, or doctors can use
this during checkups.
What is the design in this project?
Wearable device which can track Alzheimer’s patient will be designed.
What realistic constraints is the project outcome expected to
satisfy?
A person wears a belt with sensors such as a pulse sensor, blood oxygen, fall detection system, accelerometer, temperature sensor, and
GPS tracking. These sensors will measure data and send it to a microcontroller that will then use a wifi module to update a database and
reflect changes in our web application. If any data from these sensors is outside normal parameters, then the microcontroller will send an
alert to a beeper and a notification to the web application.
Under which realistic circumstances is the designed product/system
supposed to operate?
Provide an accurate ± 5 beats per minute (BPM) compared to a calibrated Apple Watch measurement
Provide an accurate ± 2% oxygen level compared to a calibrated Apple Watch measurement.
Be able to detect if a person has fallen with 70% accuracy. This is detected when a person changes their orientation to a different
plan rapidly with high acceleration and is motionless for 60 seconds.
Provide the location of where the elderly person is within an accuracy of ±50 meters from the location measured using Google Maps.
What are the specific criteria for the success of the project?
A notification is sent to the web app within 2 mins ± 30 secs when there is an irregular heart rate, temperature, or fall detection.
The staff can monitor close to real-time heart rate, temperature, GPS location, and fall detection of the person within 2 minutes ±
30 seconds.
The beeper on the belt emits an alert within 30 seconds of an irregularity being observed to attract immediate attention.
Division of tasks
Specific components/tools
Arduino , GPS module, , Current sensor module, Piezo Buzzer.
The completed project will be kept by the students to do with as they wish.

performance of the TRL calibration procedure is evaluated.

micrometer sensitivity
The distance between antennas could be arranged horizontally or vertically.
