STRUCTURE EVALUATION SYSTEM, SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS, STRUCTURE EVALUATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18174228 titled 'STRUCTURE EVALUATION SYSTEM, SIGNAL PROCESSING APPARATUS, STRUCTURE EVALUATION METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The structure evaluation system described in the abstract includes sensors, a signal processing apparatus, and an evaluator to assess the state of a structure based on detected elastic waves. Here are some key points to note:
- The system uses sensors to detect elastic waves generated from a structure.
- A signal processing apparatus calculates information on a frequency distribution by amplitude scale based on the detected elastic waves.
- The calculated information is transmitted wirelessly.
- An evaluator assesses the state of deterioration of the structure based on the transmitted information.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as civil engineering, infrastructure monitoring, and structural health monitoring.
Problems Solved
This system helps in early detection of structural deterioration, allowing for timely maintenance and repair to prevent potential hazards.
Benefits
The system provides a non-invasive and efficient way to monitor the health of structures, potentially saving costs and ensuring safety.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include offering structural health monitoring services to construction companies, infrastructure management agencies, and building owners.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional methods of structural health monitoring, which may involve manual inspections and testing techniques that are not as efficient or accurate as the system described in the patent application.
What are the specific industries that could benefit from this technology?
Various industries such as construction, civil engineering, infrastructure management, and building maintenance could benefit from this technology.
How does this system compare to traditional methods of structural health monitoring?
This system offers a more efficient and non-invasive way to monitor the health of structures compared to traditional methods, which may involve manual inspections and testing techniques that are not as accurate or timely.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, a structure evaluation system of an embodiment includes one or more sensors, a signal processing apparatus, and an evaluator. The plurality of sensors detect elastic waves generated from a structure. The signal processing apparatus calculates information on a frequency distribution by amplitude scale based on the plurality of elastic waves detected by each of the one or more sensors, and transmits the calculated information on the frequency distribution by amplitude scale in a wireless manner. The evaluator evaluates a state of deterioration of the structure based on the information on the frequency distribution by amplitude scale which is transmitted from the signal processing apparatus.
