Strainstall Monitoring announces a new capability for monitoring structures Strainstall Monitoring enhances its capabilities with the addition of acoustic emission technology as a means of monitoring structures to detect damage. Of specific interest to the bridge industry, acoustic emission technology can be applied to steel, concrete and composite structures and utilises an array of sensors to detect the release of stored strain energy as a result of a growing defect. The sensors then turn the detected wave into an electrical signal which can subsequently be analysed and interpreted. It can also be combined with other non-acoustic sensors to correlate physical parameters. Typical applications include: Detection of defects in large scale structures by global survelillance techniques using sensor arrays Fatigue detection on steel structures Defect determination in steel box section structures Quickscan monitoring technqiues of assessment of bridge decks and expansion joints Suspension and cable stay bridge structural monitoring Suspension and cable stay bridge cable monitoring Half joint monitoring Bearing performance monitoring ___________________________________________________ July 2012 Home - Search - Suppliers - Links - New Products - Catalogues - Magazines Problem Page - Applications - How they work - Tech Tips - Training - Events
