摘要: Discloses a method for monitoring acoustic wave propagation in a structure using a limited number of acoustic sensors. The transfer function of the structure is measured between each sensor and selected locations remote from the sensor using a known source of acoustic waves, such as a Schmidt hammer. Signals from the acoustic sensors are captured when a trigger event is detected; the signals received at the sensors are either compensated by the measured transfer function to estimate the nature of the signal at source, or are compared to characteristics of a compensated reference signal.

摘要: A sensor unit for use in sensing conditions in a pipeline comprises an untethered ball-shaped sensor unit adapted to roll along the interior surface of a pipeline, and an instrument package within the ball-shaped sensor unit. The package contains at least one magnetometer or accelerometer. Preferably, three magnetometers, arranged orthogonally, are present. Other sensors can also be present as required, such as an acoustic sensor to detect leaks and a temperature or chemical sensor. Recording means record the data acquired by the magnetometer(s) or accelerometer and the sensors, and optionally also record a timing trace.

摘要: Microcracking in concrete structures is monitored acoustically. The resulting signals can be used to determine corrosion of metal reinforcing wires or rods, or damage occurring from accident or seismic events.

摘要: Structural cables, for example those formed of a large number of wires and used in suspension bridges or cable-stayed bridges, are monitored by acoustic sensors. Breakage of a wire forming part of the cable gives rise to an acoustic signal. The signal is recorded and its location is found from the relative times at which it arrives at two sensors. Where sensors are located at the cable anchorage or on bands along the length of a suspension bridge cable, they can also monitor slippage of wires relative to the band or cable anchorage. The system preferably uses high resistance sensors and shielded cable. The outputs of different sensors are distinguished by a multiplexing technique or by identifying signals. In another embodiment, sensors placed about the circumference of a cable record signals from wire breaks and the signals are plotted to determine the location of the broken wire within the cross section of the cable.

摘要: The present invention relates to a method and system of an arrangement of sensors that can be used to detect changes in burial conditions of a pipeline buried under a body of water. The method comprising : obtaining a first temperature of a fluid at a first location; obtaining a second temperature of the fluid at a second location upstream and proximal to the crossing of the body of water; obtaining a third temperature of the fluid at a third location downstream from the crossing of the body of water; generating an estimate of the temperature of the fluid at the third location by establishing the rate of change of temperature of the fluid using the obtained first and second temperature and the distance between the first and second sensors; and identifying pipe exposure when there is a deviation between the estimated temperature and the obtained third temperature.
