    摘要： Methods and apparatuses for detecting fastener loosening. Sensors query a structure at a baseline value of an environment variable, such as temperature, and this baseline signal is stored for later use. Subsequently, users can query the structure remotely and at any time, and the signals from these queries are compared to the stored baseline signal. In some embodiments, an index is calculated, and the system determines that one or more fasteners have come loose if the calculated index exceeds a predetermined threshold value. It is desirable to select a time window within which the query signal is most sensitive to fastener loosening but least sensitive to variations in the environment variable. Accordingly, embodiments of the invention include methods and apparatuses for determining an optimal time window for use in calculating the above described index.

    摘要： Storage of information, such as baseline information and structure ID, in a memory that is mounted on the structure, rather than inside the diagnosis hardware. This allows for faster and more convenient information retrieval. In particular, this approach allows for a more modular system in which different diagnosis hardware or other analyzers can be simply plugged into a structure's sensor network, whereupon they can quickly download any desired structure-specific information (e.g., baseline information, structure ID, and other useful information) from the on-structure memory.

    摘要： Use of a single line for switching multiple monitoring elements on/off, and a single line for sending signals to, or receiving signals from, those elements that are switched on. Monitoring elements each have an associated switching element, and each switching element is connected to a common switching line, or control line. A signal from the control line turns each switch on or off. Each monitoring element is also connected to a single signal line, and only those monitoring elements that are turned on can transmit/receive data signals along this signal line.

    摘要： A sensor array embedded within a flexible layer. The sensors, which can be transducers, are controlled by local electronics also embedded within the flexible layer. The invention includes numerous different arrangements of these electronic controllers and their associated transducers. For example, each transducer can have its own controller embedded nearby. Alternatively, one controller can control a number of transducers, and can therefore be embedded in various configurations proximate to one or more of the transducers it controls. The controllers can include various components that impart other advantages, such as wireless transceivers for reducing the number of wires needed within the flexible layer, and local processors for reducing or eliminating the need for a remote data processor.

    摘要： A networked configuration of structural health monitoring elements. Monitoring elements such as sensors and actuators are configured as a network, with groups of monitoring elements each controlled by a local controller, or cluster controller. A data bus interconnects each cluster controller with a router, forming a networked group of “monitoring clusters” connected to a router. In some embodiments, the router identifies particular clusters, and sends commands to the appropriate cluster controllers, instructing them to carry out the appropriate monitoring operations. In turn, the cluster controllers identify certain ones of their monitoring elements, and direct them to monitor the structure as necessary. Data returned from the monitoring elements is sent to the cluster controllers, which then pass the information to the router.

    摘要： A method useful in structural health monitoring (SHM) systems for detecting damages in metal structures includes extracting the zero-order symmetric and anti-symmetric mode signal components from each of a plurality of current sensor signals of an array of transducers mounted on the structure, matching the extracted signal components with corresponding signal components of a plurality of baseline sensor signals previously detected in the structure, computing respective indices IS0 and IA0 for each of the matched extracted current and baseline signal components based on respective signal energies thereof, and determining the presence of a damage in the structure if either of the indices IS0 and IA0 of a plurality of neighboring sensor paths of the structure is greater than a selected threshold value.
