摘要： An automated apparatus for large-area scanning of wind turbine blades or other large-bodied structures (such as aircraft fuselages and wings) for the purpose of non-destructive inspection (NDI). One or more vacuum-adhered scanning elements containing NDI sensors are lowered via cables and moved via a motorized cart driven along a leading edge of a horizontally disposed wind turbine blade or via a motorized carriage driven around a track attached to a vertically disposed wind turbine blade. Scan passes are based upon sequenced horizontal and vertical motions of scan heads provided by cart/carriage and cable spool motion. A conformable array of sensors attached to the cart may be used to collect NDI data along the leading edge of a horizontally disposed wind turbine blade if the scan heads cannot reach that area.

摘要： A self-contained, holonomic motion tracking solution for supplementing the acquisition of inspection information on the surface of a structure, thereby enabling the real-time production of two-dimensional images from hand-held and automated scanning by holonomic-motion of non-destructive inspection (NDI) sensor units (e.g., NDI probes). The systems and methods disclosed enable precise tracking of the position and orientation of a holonomic-motion NDI sensor unit (hand-held or automated) and conversion of the acquired tracking data into encoder pulse signals for processing by a NDI scanning system.

摘要： Embodiments of techniques and technologies to verify the interference fit of fasteners are disclosed. In one embodiment, a transducer is positioned to transmit a shear ultrasonic signal through a region of a fastener which is subject to stress when the fastener experiences an interference fit. The shear ultrasonic signal is transmitted through a region of the fastener subject to the stress. As the transmitted ultrasonic signal encounters the region, it is mode converted corresponding to a degree of interference which the fastener is experiencing. A return ultrasonic signal from the fastener is received with the transducer. From the return ultrasonic signal, a processor determines the degree of interference fit which the fastener is experience and outputs an indication of the same.
