In-service non-destructive monitoring of industrial structures by new Acoustic Emission technology

Record Control Number : 54980
Quality Validation Date : 2001-05-04
Update Date : 2001-05-04
Title : In-service non-destructive monitoring of industrial structures by 
		new Acoustic Emission technology
Subject Index Code : Measurement Methods, Reference Materials
Objective : The goal of this CRAFT project is the development of a control 
		apparatus to monitor static and dynamic structures under service 
		conditions, i.e. without stopping plant or machinery activity, at a 
		cost of few hundreds Euro per monitoring point. The objectives are 
		the development of multipurpose devices for wide applications, 
		based on transducers, which detect acoustic emissions due to active 
		defects and analyse them in real time. The specific software will 
		evaluate importance of signals source and inform operators on risk 
		level. This implies research on the propagation of signals as a 
		function of structure geometry and materials (metals, non-metals 
		and concrete) . The objective will be achieved with advanced 
		microelectronics and specific signal analysis. Expected results 
		will increase safety of plants and of buildings.
