METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MONITORING A THIN STRUCTURE

Torna indietro

Abstract

A method and a system for monitoring a thin structure foresee acquiring the acceleration signals emitted by a plurality of accelerometers associated with the structure, obtaining the frequency spectrum of such signals, detecting their frequency peaks and temporal variations to calculate, for each of the frequency peaks, an average value and a statistical value that define a range of frequency values. Subsequently, at predetermined time periods, the frequency peaks are detected and, with respect to each average value, it is verified whether the corresponding peak frequency is outside of the respective range of frequency values and an error signal is generated as a function of such verification. In this case, the error signal and the processed signals of the accelerometers are sent to a remote unit where the signals are analysed to determine the state of the structure and its past data and to evaluate whether it is necessary for it to have technical personnel intervention.
