Abstract: A method and apparatus for analyzing an object using acoustic emissions. Load data is received for the object. Acoustic waveform data is received for the object from an acoustic sensing system. The acoustic waveform data represents acoustic emissions emanating from the object and is detected using the acoustic sensing system. A plurality of bins is created for the load data. A plurality of frequency distribution functions is generated for the plurality of bins using the acoustic waveform data. A set of learning algorithms is applied to the plurality of frequency distribution functions and the acoustic waveform data to generate an output that allows an operator to more easily and quickly assess a structural integrity of the object.

Abstract: A method includes: removing at least a part of an oxide formed on a surface of the sample by relatively scanning the surface of the sample in X and Y directions parallel to the surface while bringing a probe into contact with the surface of the sample; detecting a signal by bringing the probe into contact with the surface of the sample from which at least a part of the oxide is removed at a predetermined detection position in the X direction or the Y direction while a bias voltage is applied to the sample; calculating a spreading resistance value based on the signal; and retracting the probe to keep the probe relatively away from the surface in a Z direction perpendicular to the surface while relatively moving the probe to a next detection position to start scanning the sample from the next detection position.

Abstract: A “semi-automated” device, method and/or system for the determination of line sag in a tensioned (e.g., power) line is described. A prescribed number of waves based on the waves required by a given sag-tension chart is input. After the device is directly or indirectly attached onto the line, the user then induces a wave on the line either by pulling/striking the tensioned line. The device automatically measures the acceleration/inflection of the passing waves and the time of arrival of waves, as well as ambient temperature, and signaling the user upon completion of the measurement. These recorded values can be used to determine the actual sag of the tensioned line, thus avoiding the current error-prone approach of using a manual stopwatch and visual deflection of the waves.

Abstract: A method of determining the breaking stress in shear for a part of determined thickness and made up of two elements that are bonded together by a layer of adhesive. A plane sensor emits an ultrasound wave at the part of determined thickness. The plane sensor receives a reflected signal made up of a plurality of successive echoes. A processor unit calculates a fast Fourier transform of the reflected signal. A Gaussian envelope connecting together the peaks of all of the resonances of the fast Fourier transform is determined. A frequency at which the Gaussian envelope is at a maximum is determined. The breaking stress from a predetermined correspondence relationship between the frequency of the maximum of the Gaussian envelope and the breaking stress is determined.
