    Abstract: The invention discloses an integrated broadband energy collecting and sensing device for a rod-cable structure, belonging to a piezoelectric vibration energy collecting and sensing field, which solves a problem that an existing piezoelectric energy harvester does not fully collect environmental multi-directional vibration energy. The device comprises an inner layer sleeve, an outer layer sleeve, a first piezoelectric thin film sensor, a self-powered module and a control communication module. The self-powered module comprises one or more vibrator groups. Each vibrator group comprises a plurality of piezoelectric vibrators arranged in sequence along a circumferential direction of the inner layer sleeve. The vibrator group collects vibration energy in any direction in a cross section of the sleeve. An inner surface of the outer layer sleeve is provided with a plurality of amplitude limiting blocks for protecting the piezoelectric vibrator during a severe vibration.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes: a deflection acquiring unit that acquires a deflection amount caused in a measurement target region on a structure by a vehicle traveling on the structure; a vehicle position acquiring unit that acquires a position of the vehicle on the structure at time when the deflection amount is acquired; and a rigidity coefficient calculating unit that calculates a rigidity coefficient specifying a relation between a magnitude of a force applied to the structure due to a weight of the vehicle and flexural rigidity of the structure, from a relation equation, the acquired deflection amount, and the detected position of the vehicle. The relation equation is established among a position of the vehicle on the structure, the magnitude of the force, a position of the measurement target region on the structure, a length of the structure, the flexural rigidity, and a deflection amount caused in the measurement target region.
