non-contact evaluation system for acoustic signal propagation properties for synthetic strings, and method for evaluating acoustic signal propagation properties through a string

摘要

non-contact evaluation system for acoustic signal propagation properties for synthetic strings, and a method for evaluating acoustic signal propagation properties for strings is described a non-contact evaluation system for acoustic signal propagation properties for strings that can be deployed for a number of different applications, including, but not limited to, mobile lines, for example, cranes and winches and static lines, for example, mooring lines, yoke, etc., to assess the physical properties of the ropes and, in some cases, help assess the structural health of the strings. the system includes a first transducer for generating ultrasonic waves, a second transducer for receiving ultrasonic waves propagated across and around the string, and a processor that executes computer-readable code to determine acoustic propagation properties of the string.
