  • Patent number: 12104986
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a structure evaluation system includes at least three or more sensors, a position locator, and an evaluator. The three or more sensors are arranged on surfaces different from a surface to which an impact is applied with respect to a structure at different intervals in a first direction of the structure and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and detects elastic waves generated from the structure. The position locator locates a position of a source in which the elastic waves are generated on the basis of the elastic waves detected by each of the three or more sensors. The evaluator evaluates a deterioration state of the structure on the basis of information based on a position location process of the position locator and information indicating a position where the impact is applied.

  • Publication number: 20230302542
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a sensor attachment/detachment device of the embodiment includes a sensor, a bonding member, a support portion, and a release execution portion. The bonding member is bonded to a first surface of the sensor and has a function of decreasing an adhesive force. The support portion can support the sensor by directly contacting a second surface of the sensor or via another functional portion. The release execution portion performs a process of releasing the bonding member from the object by decreasing the adhesive force of the bonding member after the sensor is attached to the object by the bonding member.

  • Patent number: 11754530
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a structure evaluation system includes a wave guide, a first sensor, a second sensor, and a calculation part. The wave guide is formed in a rod shape, is inserted into a hole that is formed at a predetermined depth from a surface of a measurement target, and has one end fixed to a deepest portion of the hole. The first sensor is provided at the other end of the wave guide at a position that is substantially the same as the surface. The second sensor is provided on the surface of the measurement target. The calculation part estimates a depth of damage occurring in the measurement target from the surface on the basis of a first detection value of an elastic wave transmitted to the measurement target which is detected by the first sensor through the wave guide and a second detection value obtained by an elastic wave which is detected by the second sensor.
