uSinG BroaDBanD SiGnalS for STruCTural ChanGe DeTeCTion in MeTal DeTailS Purpose. Realization of engineering structures in industrial and household spheres is based on materials that provide required strength, integrity and reliability during all period of exploitation. However, due to various reasons, most often excessive or cyclic load, metal changes its structure, which may lead to destruction of the structure. This situation creates need for improvement of existing components of system diagnostics and development of new ones. In particular, this refers to the part of formation and processing of signals in informationmeasuring channels which provide control in operating conditions. Thus, expansion of func tional capabilities of informationmeasuring channels of diagnostics systems is relevant problem in the area of ensuring reliability requirements and exploitation safety. Methodology. Analysis was performed using the method of spectral transformation of signal, integral locked loop of frequency and methods of approximation. findings. The result of this study is the nondimensional coefficient of relation of bringing harmonics frequency (RBHF), abso lute value of which indicates loss of energy in metal during oscillations and serves as an estimate of change in the structure of metal. originality. Proposed Methods for forming and digital processing of wideband signals based on the RBHF for diagnostic de tection of changes in the metal structure which provide invariance to temperature fluctuations by using the signal frequency ratio. This allows increasing reliability and stability of information measuring channel of diagnostics system. Practical value. While implementing the proposed method, we developed a procedure and hardwareandsoftware solutions for detecting structural changes in metal constructions based on changes of the RBHF coefficient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
