DAMAGE DETECTION – ACHIEVEMENTS AND NEW CHALLENGES
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2013, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
In last decades the interest in the capability to monitor structures and detect damage in the incipient stage is omnipresent in civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering. Actual damage detection methods are mainly locally oriented, based either on visual inspection or on experimental techniques; all these require that the damaged area is known and that the investigated portion of the structure is effortlessly accessible.

Industrial Noise Mapping – Support of an Anti-Noise Protection Program
The paper shows an approach to noise problems for an installation belonging to a complex industrial plant, containing noise sources located at different heights. A proper digital modeling of the relevant elements in term...
Acoustical Silencers (Mufflers)
This paper concerns acoustical silencers mounted on the pipe lines used for the evacuation in the atmosphere of the gas from noise producing equipment: engines, turbines, tanks, air-conditioning and ventilation equipment...
Diminution Noise and Vibration for Industrial Equipments Designated to Gearbox Testing
The paper refers to a complex algorithm of design test stands for gearboxes. The algorithm pursues the optimization of the complex assembly embodied by the stand. The optimization criteria point to minimizing power suppl...
Determination of the Natural Frequencies of Beams Using Sound Pressure
This paper presents a method to determine the natural frequencies of transversal bending vibrations of beams and plates by means of time-history analysis. As excitation source the sound pressure produced by a speaker was...
On the Vibrations with Seismic Excitation of the Rigid Elastically Hanged
Consider the rigid solid elastically hanged with large arrows to balance. Rigid matrix is established, which in this case depends on the values of the arrows to balance. In the case of seismic excitation (through basis)...
