Abstract: A method of estimating vibration of a target, comprising performing a first sequence of a predefined first number of distance data acquisition operations, consecutive distance data acquisition operations being separated by a predefined first separation time period, each data acquisition operation resulting in a measurement data set, being a representation of the measurement signal, in a memory; accessing from the memory, the measurement data set for each distance data acquisition operation; determining a first sequence of distance variation values indicative of a variation over time of a distance between the vibration estimation system and the target, based on the measurement data set for each distance data acquisition operation of the first number of distance data acquisition operations; and estimating a first indicator of the vibration of the target based on the first sequence of distance variation values.

Abstract: Remote recovery of acoustic signals from passive sources is provided. Wideband radars, such as ultra-wideband (UWB) radars can detect minute surface displacements for vibrometry applications. Embodiments described herein remotely sense sound and recover acoustic signals from vibrating sources using radars. Early research in this domain only demonstrated single sound source recovery using narrowband millimeter wave radars in direct line-of-sight scenarios. Instead, by using wideband radars (e.g., X band UWB radars), multiple sources separated in ranges are observed and their signals isolated and recovered. Additionally, the see-through ability of microwave signals is leveraged to extend this technology to surveillance of targets obstructed by barriers. Blind surveillance is achieved by reconstructing audio from a passive object which is merely in proximity of the sound source using clever radar and audio processing techniques.

Abstract: A method for determining structural vibration mode characteristics includes preparing a digital image correlation (DIC) dataset for the component, applying a dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) technique to the DIC dataset to determine a plurality of DMD modes, selecting at least one dominant DMD mode from the plurality of DMD modes, classifying each of the at least one selected dominant DMD mode as a standing wave or a traveling wave, and determining structural vibration mode characteristics of the component by extracting the structural vibration mode characteristics from each of the at least one selected dominant DMD mode having a standing wave classification.

Abstract: Faults in rotating machines can be diagnosed or detected using two radio frequency (RF) sensing modes. RF sensing phenomenon can be used to detect the presence of undesirable behavior in rotating machines including excessive bending, vibration, eccentricity, torsion, and longitudinal strain. RF based sensors represent a non-invasive solution. The sensing modes are based on RF metamaterials and Doppler effect influence and radar cross section evaluation all coupled with a machine learning algorithm. The system is based on monitoring resonance shift, negative permeability and return loss magnitudes. Electromagnetic numerical simulations showed a significant change in those magnitudes upon applied mechanical strains as compared to original reference unstrained cases. Metamaterial texturing design can be controlled by controlling the cells scale and substrate materials.

Abstract: An optical phase modulation amount measurement technology using sound without being affected by noise included in an average light intensity is provided. A sound measurement method includes an interference light generation step of obtaining first light including light subjected to light phase modulation by a sound measurement unit and second light including light subjected to light phase modulation by the sound measurement unit, which differs from the first light, from light emitted from a light source, a first light detection step of obtaining a first electrical signal from the first light, a second light detection step of obtaining a second electrical signal from the second light, and a differential signal generation step of obtaining a differential signal that is a difference between the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal, wherein a phase of the light subjected to light phase modulation included in the first light and a phase of the light subjected to the light phase modulation included in the second light are in an inverted relationship, and an optical phase modulation amount φs by sound is measured as a current Δi of the differential signal expressed by an equation Δi=βIA cos (φs+φ0) (where β is a predetermined constant, IA is an amplitude of an interference fringe, and φ0 is an optical phase modulation amount by an element other than sound).

Abstract: A non-contact method is presented for measuring vibration on a surface of an object. The method includes: projecting light from three light sources towards a point of interest on a surface of an object, and detecting the light reflected by the point of interest on the surface using three detectors, where each detector of the three detectors captures light from a corresponding one of the three light sources. From the light captured, calculating vertical displacement of the surface at the point of interest using triangulation, calculating rotational displacement of the surface at the point of interest about an x axis using triangulation; and calculating rotational displacement of the surface at the point of interest about y axis using triangulation, where the x axis and the y axis define a plane which is parallel to surface of the object.
