Abstract:
Provided is a structural health monitoring system of a rotating object such as a turbine blade, which gives easy and intuitive information to field managers on the damage location and the damage size of the rotating object by computing and visualizing correlations between damage and propagating ultrasonic wave. The structural health monitoring system for a rotating object comprises an ultrasonic generation system which generates an ultrasonic signal by irradiating a pulse laser beam to a point of the rotating object, a pulse laser control system which adjusts the irradiating time of the pulse laser beam, an ultrasonic measurement system which measures a generated ultrasonic signal at a point of the rotating object away from the point irradiated by the pulse laser beam and a damage detection system which provides information of damage existence, damage location and damage severity by visualization of monitored ultrasonic signals.
