Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If laser-induced vibration wave measurement is performed outdoors, then measurement speed can be improved, but measurement accuracy deteriorates due to environmental noise and irregularities at irradiation location
Solution Approach 1:
The system measures the actual irradiation distance between the laser device and the inspection target, then feeds back this information to automatically adjust the laser output energy. This feedback mechanism compensates for distance variations caused by environmental factors, maintaining measurement accuracy while enabling outdoor high-speed inspection
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically changes the laser output energy parameter based on the measured irradiation distance. By adjusting the energy parameter in real-time, the system compensates for environmental variations and maintains consistent measurement quality across different outdoor conditions
2Measurement precision
If environmental noise is reduced through shielding or isolation, then measurement accuracy is improved, but device complexity and measurement time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces physical noise shielding mechanisms with an electronic compensation approach. By using sensors to detect environmental noise levels and algorithmically compensating for their effects on the vibration wave measurements, the system achieves high accuracy without adding complex physical shielding structures
3Measurement precision
If environmental noise is reduced through repeated measurements and averaging, then measurement accuracy is improved, but measurement time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses real-time noise level detection to identify and skip measurement cycles taken during high-noise periods. By rapidly identifying acceptable measurement windows and executing measurements only during low-noise intervals, the system achieves high accuracy without the time penalty of repeated averaging

Implementation Method 1
laser ablation is the most basic technique to impart vibration to a sample and the sample irradiated with laser light is diagnosed on the basis of vibration generated when the sample is irradiated with the laser light. The laser ablation is a spraying or transpiration phenomenon when there is rapid heating of a sample or formation of plasma by irradiation with a high-power laser pulse.
Implementation Method 2
The vibration generated in the sample is measured by a device using laser measurement technology such as a laser Doppler vibrometer and a laser interferometer.
Implementation Method 3
The vibration generated in the sample is measured by a device using laser measurement technology such as a laser Doppler vibrometer and a laser interferometer.
