    Abstract: A diagnosis device includes a data acquirer, a data recorder, and a health diagnoser. The data acquirer acquires a measurement data of a structure at a predetermined timing. The data recorder causes a storage to store the measurement data acquired by the data acquirer as a standard data. The health diagnoser diagnoses a health of the structure by comparing the measurement data that is acquired by the data acquirer this time with the standard data that has been acquired by the data acquirer last time and stored in the storage.

    Abstract: According to one implementation, a structural health monitoring system includes an ultrasonic transducer, an ultrasonic sensor, a strain sensor and a signal processing part. The ultrasonic transducer oscillates an ultrasonic wave to the first inspection area. The ultrasonic sensor detects a waveform of at least one of a transmission wave of the ultrasonic wave and a reflected wave of the ultrasonic wave. The transmission wave has transmitted the first inspection area. The reflected wave has been reflected in the first inspection area. The strain sensor detects a strain amount of the second inspection area. The signal processing part obtains at least one index, representing health of the structural object including the first inspection area and the second inspection area, based on the waveform detected by the ultrasonic sensor and the strain amount detected by the strain sensor.

    Abstract: According to one implementation, an ultrasonic inspection system includes: a first inspection unit, a second inspection unit, and a signal processing system. The first inspection unit acquires a detection signal of a first ultrasonic wave in a first inspection section of an structural object, using a first ultrasonic transducer and a first ultrasonic sensor. The second inspection unit acquires a detection signal of a second ultrasonic wave in a second inspection section of the structural object, using a second ultrasonic transducer and a second ultrasonic sensor. The signal processing system obtains an index value representing inspection information of at least one of the first inspection section and the second inspection section, based on the detection signal of the first ultrasonic wave and the detection signal of the second ultrasonic wave.

    Abstract: An aircraft management system includes a sensor, a diagnosis executor, and an outputter. The sensor is loaded onto an aircraft. The diagnosis executor diagnoses health of a part of the aircraft on a basis of output from the sensor while the aircraft is flying. The outputter outputs a request signal requesting a part replacement to an outside of the aircraft through wireless communication, when a replacement of the part is determined to be necessary as a result of diagnosis of the health.

    Abstract: A diagnosis apparatus includes a fiber optic sensor, a collection processor, and a self-diagnosis processor. The fiber optic sensor is configured to be disposed over a target. The collection processor is configured to perform a collection process that collects measurement data related to the target obtained by the fiber optic sensor. The self-diagnosis processor is configured to perform a self-diagnosis process before the collection processor starts the collection process. The self-diagnosis process obtains an output value related to calibration of the fiber optic sensor, causes the collection processor to start the collection process when the output value falls within a proper range, and outputs an error when the output value falls outside the proper range.

    Abstract: According to one implementation, a damage detection system includes: a physical quantity detection unit, a flight condition changing part and a damage detection part. The physical quantity detection unit detects a physical quantity of a structural object composing an aircraft during a flight of the aircraft. The flight condition changing part changes at least one flight condition of the aircraft to at least one specific flight condition when the physical quantity of the structural object has been detected by the physical quantity detection unit. The damage detection part determines whether a damage arose in the structural object, based on a physical quantity which has been detected, from the structural object of the aircraft flying with the at least one specific flight condition, by the physical quantity detection unit.
