HMIPs are tall, slender structures with low inherent damping. Video recordings of multiple HMIPs showed considerable vibrations of these HMIPs under wind loading in the state of Kansas. The HMIPs experienced cyclic large-amplitude displacements at the top, which can produce high-stress demand and lead to fatigue cracking at the bottom of the pole. In this study, the natural frequencies of the HMIP were assessed using pluck tests and finite element modeling, and the recorded vibration frequencies were obtained through computer vision-based video analysis. Meanwhile, a 30.48 m tall HMIP with three LED luminaires made of galvanized steel located in Wakeeney, Kansas, was selected for long-term vibration monitoring using wireless smart sensors to investigate the underlying mechanism for the excessive wind-induced vibrations. Data analysis with the long-term monitoring data indicates that while vortex-induced vibration occurs frequently at relatively low amplitude, buffeting-induced vibration was the leading cause of the excessive vibrations of the monitored HMIP. The findings provide crucial information to guide the design of vibration mitigation strategies for these HMIP structures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s24082506","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,15]],"date-time":"2024-04-15T08:08:12Z","timestamp":1713168492000},"page":"2506","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Wind-Induced Vibration Monitoring of High-Mast Illumination Poles Using Wireless Smart Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4519-5545","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mona","family":"Shaheen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3439-7539","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caroline","family":"Bennett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2835-6389","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William","family":"Collins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering, The University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS 66045, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,4,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23","DOI":"10.3141\/2131-03","article-title":"Development of a procedure for fatigue design of slender support structures subjected to wind-induced vibration","volume":"2131","author":"Chang","year":"2009","journal-title":"Transp.
