Passive Monitoring
Locating and identifying the nature of impacts and defects in structures can be affordably performed using our patent pending passive, compact sensors, attached or embedded into the structure. Advanced sensor design allows reducing the number of receivers to the minimum, while maintaining a high level of detection accuracy.
Active Monitoring
Safety critical structures often require on-line fault detection systems for the assessment of structural health. The next generation of our active sensing technology will allow performing this task without cumbersome and bulky hardware thanks to a smart sensor design that will send acoustic energy only where it needs to be sent.
Our Expertise
Elastic wave Simulation
Intelligent Structures team developed effective numerical tools to simulate ultrasonic guided wave propagation and inverse methods to detect blockages and damages, along with structural health monitoring non-destructive techniques for materials and structures exploiting the propagation of ultrasonic guided waves.
Advanced Signal Processing
We also have extensive experience in the design and use of advanced signal processing methods suitable for the analysis of dispersive signals such those related to guided waves. Data feature extractions for characterization and damage location purposes are performed using novel techniques for signal de-noising, analysis and compression.
Our Services
Fault Detection
Detection of faults like cracks, indenting, delamination, and debonding can be performed through an accurate design of our sensor network.
Sensor Customization
The design of our sensors can be fully customized to best fit the structure to be monitored and optimize acoustic energy collection and delivery.
Material Characterization
We can perform accurate simulation of materials to best determine elastic wave propagation behavior and predict dispersion curves for guided wave testing.
