  • Publication number: 20230194382
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a structure evaluation system includes an impact imparting unit, a plurality of sensors, a position locator, and an evaluator. The impact imparting unit applies impacts to a second region different from a first region of a structure to which traveling sections of a vehicle, which travels on the structure, apply impacts. The plurality of sensors detect elastic waves generated in the structure. The position locator locates a position of a source of the elastic waves on the basis of the elastic waves detected by each of the plurality of sensors. The evaluator evaluates a deterioration state of the structure on the basis of a position location result of the position locator.

  • Publication number: 20230083554
    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.

  • Patent number: 10617598
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus for loading vibration is provided. The apparatus for loading vibration has a contacting unit, a first vibration unit, a storage unit and a control unit. The contacting unit is capable of coming into contact with a biological body which pulsates or beats in a contact state of a first contact condition. The first vibration unit provides a self-excited vibration to the biological body through the contacting unit. The storage unit stores a second contact condition which synchronizes the self-excited vibration with the pulses or the beats. The control unit controls the contact state of the contacting unit so as to make the first contact condition become closer to the second contact condition.
