Structural Health Monitoring
With ARAMIS, the user can make a baseline measurement of a structure and monitor its health over a long period of time. This will allow you to observe the structural integrity as it is exposed to environmental conditions, working conditions, standard loads, and other factors. These measurements can be taken over seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, or years depending on what the user would like to observe.
In the example below, a baseline measurement was taken of a crack discovered underneath a bridge. After 6-months, the engineers came back and took new measurements to compare to the baseline. They discovered that the crack was, in fact, active and expanding at an alarming rate. Having this full-field insight made the results very intuitive. The measurements took them minutes to make, and they achieved thousands of data points across the patterned section.
Large-Scale Testing
There is virtually no limit to the scale at which ARAMIS measurements can be performed. Since these systems use optics, it is only a matter of switching out lenses and changing the hardware geometry to move from a very small to a huge field of view. With ARAMIS, the user can measure the global response of large-scale structures such as bridges, wind turbines, platforms, or walls of a structure. Strain measurements can be achieved by using the randomized speckle pattern, or the user can observe single points of displacements by using single-point markers.
Multiple systems can be daisy-chained together to achieve the necessary special resolution if localized results are desired. These smaller sections can then be aligned together based on a 3D point cloud created with our TRITOP Optical CMM system. Multi-system measurements also allow the user to measure all the way around large or small structures by using this same method.
