(DURIP) REAL-TIME EDGE COMPUTING IN STRUCTURES EXPERIENCING SHOCK
Abstract
This DURIP proposal establishes a testbed for edge computing in shock environments at the University of South Carolina (UofSC). This system integrates the shock-testing of structures/packages with various real-time computing architectures to accelerate the development of the algorithms and methodologies needed for micro-second monitoring, decision-making, and control of next-generation structures that operate in shock environments. The system couples full-scale real-time computing hardware with laboratory-scale structures and packages mounted in a drop tower where communication between the packages and real-time computing hardware is done through flexible high-speed cabled connections. The closely integrated testbed consists of a drop tower, a high-speed data acquisition system, real-time computing architectures, signal conditioners, transducers, and required data communication devices.
