Embodiment Construction

[0057] The present invention is an apparatus for transmitting ultrasonic signals and receiving reflected signals for analysis of test materials, the apparatus comprising an array of ultrasonic sensors located inside a wheel structure with flexible adaptive segmented tires around the sensor array to provide also as a surrounding sensor The sealing fluid of the array fills the rolling motion features of the housing to provide a coupling fluid between the sensor and the tire material in rolling contact with the test material.

[0058] The invention also provides a device for transmitting ultrasonic signals and receiving reflected signals for non-invasive analysis of test materials. This apparatus includes one or more sensor arrays located inside a single wheel structure with flexible adaptive segmented tires around the sensor arrays to provide rolling motion characteristics that also act as a sealed fluid-filled enclosure around the sensor arrays so that the sensors are in contact...

Abstract

Method, system and device for ultrasonic signal emission and reception of reflected ultrasonic signal enabling non-destructive analysis of solid material such as in roads, bridges, and other constructions. The device being formed as a wheel (1) where the wheel (1) comprises an array of transducers (20) arranged on a base (3) attached to an axis (2) and a tire section (10) providing a sealed enclosure (7) around the array of transducers (20) where the tire section comprises a plurality of circular protruding sections (12) comprising a tire tread section (11, 22, 24, 25), and a coupling fluid (26) in the sealed enclosure (7) providing an acoustic transparency between the array of transducers and contact points (27) for the tire tread section (11, 24) towards a test material (15).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the transmission of ultrasonic signals and the reception of reflected ultrasonic signals to enable non-destructive analysis of solid materials such as roads, bridges, structures. Background technique [0002] It is a problem to come up with satisfactory inspection methods and apparatus for collecting data for imaging the material itself of structures such as roads, bridges, as well as internal structures (such as reinforcements) and / or cracks and failures. [0003] Solutions have been proposed for inspecting facilities such as pipelines, containers, railway tracks, etc. to collect data and map potential defects and failures. Common to these is that the surface of the material to be inspected is smooth and the coupling contact between the device and the sensor can consist of a continuous flow of water between the instrument and the device, or for example with a coupling gel before performing the ultrasound data collectio...
