Synthetic Phased Array Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor and Method for Quantifying Bolt Tension
Technology Benefits
Analysis can be done at low costAnalysis can be done in real timeSimultaneously inspect multiple bolted joints Allows for local or remote inspection
Technology Application
inspection method
Detailed Technology Description
USF inventors have created a novel active ultrasonic method that uses surface acoustic waves that are analyzed via a special imaging technique. This analysis provides an estimation of the tension in the bolts, that describes their relative tightness or looseness. The resulting invention allows for low cost, real time, inspection of multiple bolted joints simultaneously, either remotely or locally, which is not available with the current state of the art.
