Project Objectives:
The DETEKTA project concerns on development and verification of detection and quantification of cracks sizes system. In the adopted concept, the measuring element is a sensor network, permanently integrated with the object, made in the technology of additive manufacturing using paints with metallic micro and nanoparticles, and elastic insulation materials. The work undertaken under the project was divided into following phases:
- Experimental studies of material properties and determination of the production technology and installation of sensors.
- Simulation research and development of numerical models of sensors.
- Development and verification of data acquisition systems designed to cooperate with sensors.
- Development and implementation of data analysis methods for the fault detection system.
- Effectiveness verification of the damage detection system prototype for long-term operation, gap analysis for development works.
Planned Results:
The main end result of the project will be the demonstration of the prototype system under conditions similar to actual use. The individual components of the invention, mainly the original adaptive sensor for crack detection, the data acquisition block, the information processing algorithms, and the stability of operation in the long term will be verified in the next stages of application testing. The subject of the application is in line with the new concept of approach to structural monitoring known as SHM (Structural Health Monitoring) systems. It assumes permanent installation of a measurement system on the object along with an integrated sensor network. The developed product will enable continuous and effective detection, localization and identification of crack development.
