Vibrodiagnostic of welded thin-walled plates with the usage of laser sensors in network infrastructure

The article presents a non-destructive welded joints assessment (vibrodiagnostics) method, in which, with the use of the Internet, computer networking technologies and laser displacement sensors, the quality of welded steel plates may be monitored. The article also describes the possibilities of analysis of received vibrodiagnostics data on the base of diagnostic parameters analysed in function of time and frequency. The method described in the article allows remotely registering, analysing and diagnosing mechanical systems using vibrodiagnostics and information technologies. Modern, computerized methods exhibit efficiency and reliability of results – they are currently the best measuring tools that can be used in automatic monitoring (structural health monitoring - SHM) of marine structures. It is essential to make objective assessment of the results by NDT users, which is tightly connected with the expertise of norms and regulations of NDT. It may be helpful in this respect to monitor responses from a few sensors, arranged in a few measuring points. NDT results quite often trigger further analysis of durability of an object. The NDT of welded joints method as presented in the article allows remotely and in an IT-aided way analysing and diagnosing mechanical systems with the use of vibrodiagnostics method.
