  • Patent number: 10149631
    Abstract: A system and method for damage detection and for evaluating the real operation conditions for structural platforms using structural health monitoring is integrated to a system and method that permits for the platform to provide a flexible geometric control considering a self-adapting morphing which is capable of providing better operating structural platform performance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 24, 2015
    Date of Patent: December 11, 2018

  • Patent number: 10093435
    Abstract: An integrated system for assessing the condition and management of a structural platform or a plurality of platforms includes a Structural Health Monitoring System (SHM), an Operational loads Monitoring System (OLM), a static, fatigue and damage tolerance analysis (FDTA) subsystem, a databank storing a maintenance plan, and a subsystem configured for damage and repair management (iSRM). The SHM may include a plurality of transducers, including a plurality of pairs of actuators and sensors; a generator device configured to excite at least one of said sensors to produce ultrasonic guided waves; and a signal processor device configured to receive the signals reflected from damage identification. The Operational loads Monitoring System (OLM) may comprise parametric models using flight parameter data. The static, fatigue and damage tolerance analysis (FDTA) subsystem may be configured to use parametric models using Finite element Models results and abacus.

  • Publication number: 20130166458
    Abstract: Structural analysis automation allows the implementation of more detailed or accurate analysis methodology that reflects the actual behavior of the damaged or repaired structure and consequently improves the resulting damage disposition for example by Increasing the allowable damages and structural repairs applicability, increasing the allowable damage limits causing the reduction of unnecessary installation of structural repairs, optimizing repairs and increasing fly-by periods and inspection intervals.
