| 203 | TRIGGER CIRCUIT FOR LOW-POWER STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM | US12844735 | 2010-07-27 | US20120029842A1 | 2012-02-02 | Chang ZHANG |
| A trigger circuit for use with a structural health monitoring system. To save power, a structural health monitoring system is programmed with a sleep mode and a wake, or operational, mode. In its operational mode, the structural health monitoring system can perform its usual tasks, e.g. monitoring a structure and determining its structural health. In sleep mode, many functions are suspended, so that the system requires less power. The trigger circuit wakes the system when the sensors of the structural health monitoring system emit a sufficiently large signal, i.e. when an event occurs. That is, when not in use, the system enters sleep mode, and when some event occurs (e.g., impact, or some other stresses that are of concern), the trigger circuit alerts the system, prompting it to shift from sleep mode to operational mode and to begin taking/analyzing data. | ||||||

Multiple fibers can be acoustically coupled to the monitored structural elements to obtain additional data concerning the structural integrity. | ||||||

| This invention relates to a system and a procedure for the carrying out of the ongoing monitoring in time of the distortions in a stationary or moving structure, due to the various effects acting thereupon, such as frictional forces, forces produced by loads, resistance forces, etc. The disturbances exerted on a structure may cause distortions, which may be calculated by using the warp and twist angles. When the disturbance acts on the structure for a period of time, these measured values may be used by a processor integrated in the system which, by means of mathematical analysis, will determine the necessary parameters, such as resistance, fatigue, acceleration, elastic potential energy, direction of the forces, speed, elasticity, etc., in order to determine the state of the structure and to establish its useful life span. The system and procedure are comprised of a plurality of inclinometers (2), at least one gyroscope (3) and a plurality of accelerometers (4), uniformly or otherwise distributed throughout the structure to be monitored. This allows the structure to be divided into sections, and all the information reflected by these measurements is transmitted to a processor (5). | ||||||

| 220 | Method for satisfying certification requirements and verifying the integrity of structural health management systems | US11142038 | 2005-05-31 | US20060282297A1 | 2006-12-14 | Grant Gordon; Nicholas Wilt; Joseph Nutaro |
| A method for verifying the integrity of a structural health management system comprising a plurality of sensors mounted on a structure, a baseline data set for each of the plurality of sensors and a calibration procedure that uses the structure itself as part of the reference standard is disclosed. Initially a baseline data set, including time-of-flight between each of the plurality of sensors and neighboring sensor selected from the plurality of sensors, is established. Before performing the structural health assessment a calibration-in data set for each of the plurality of sensors is collected. The calibration-in data set is compared to the baseline data set for each sensor of the plurality of sensors. If the calibration-in data set and the baseline data set match then a structure characterization is performed. If the calibration-in data set and the baseline data set do not match, an approach to resolving the ambiguity between inoperable sensors versus structural failure is disclosed. After resolution of any ambiguity and performing the structural damage detection, a calibration-out procedure is performed to generate a calibration-out data set. It is then determined that the structural health management system was working during the damage estimation interval if the calibration-out data set and the calibration-in data sets match. | ||||||
