Method And Apparatus For Testing Material Strengths

View page
US Patent:
56211724, Apr 15, 1997
Filed:
Apr 3, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/415500
Inventors:
James B. Wilson - Corvallis OR
Milo L. Clauson - Corvallis OR
Assignee:
State of Oregon Acting by and through the State Board of Higher
Education on Behalf of Oregon State University - Eugene OR
International Classification:
G01N 2920
US Classification:
73579
Abstract:
An apparatus and a non-destructive method for evaluating material strengths is described. One embodiment of the apparatus comprises a waveform generator that generates either (1) a sinusoidal waveform having a frequency that sweeps from a low frequency to a high frequency, or a high frequency to a low frequency, wherein the low frequency is from about 10 Hz to about 150 Hz, and the high frequency is from about 6,000 Hz to about 24,000 Hz, or (2) a pseudo random within the frequency range of from about 150 Hz to about 6,000 Hz. An electromechanical driver is electronically linked to the waveform generator and mechanically coupled to a test material, particularly in-service utility poles, at a drive position. Force and acceleration sensors are coupled to the test material at various positions. A microprocessor is used to collect digitized data from the force sensor and the accelerometers, perform a transfer function and determine the strength remaining in the test material using a neural network model.
