FBS Inc. Structural Health Monitoring   SHM Sensors
  Hardware/Software
Traditionally, ultrasonic probes are high in cost and are not practical to purchase in large quantities. FBS Inc. offers a line of affordable, robust guided wave sensors for structural health monitoring applications. Attractive features of these sensors include their:
 





Cost Effective Pricing
Robust Design
Suitability for Embedding
Small Size (allowing for mounting on complex geometries)
Dynamic Frequency Range for Guided Wave Generation (150kHz – 800kHz with a center frequency of 350 kHz)
The sensors can be purchased individually or in pre-determined array configurations. When used in an array configuration, FBS’s customized DAQ hardware/software can be used to acquire data and generate tomographic images of the area inside the array. FBS’s custom sensors and DAQ systems are ideal for monitoring critical areas of structures, such as pipeline and aircraft components.
