摘要

One approach for structural health monitoring of aging aircraft is to take discrete airframe strain measurements and record the flight loads history. A complementary methhod consists of measuring changes in dynamic response due to fatigue crack growth. The challenge in implementing such methods is the need for inexpensive networks of distributed strain sensors which possess high resolution with no drift over time. The Uni-Axial Strain Transducer (UAST) has been developed as a digital, absolute encoding device to address these very issues. The UAST is a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) which exploits the capacitive coupling between an array of electrostatic field emitters and an array of 64 field detectors on a CMOS IC chip. The slightly different array element sapcings form a vernier scale and digital signal processing of the detector outputs is used to calculate the absolute translational displacement of the emitter array relative to the CMOS detector chip. The UAST provides a dynamic range of 11,500 mu -strain and displacements of 2.5 nm are easily resolved. The sensor sampling rate is dynamically configurable for 150, 290, 540, 1000, 1600 or 2500 Hz, providing 15, 14, 13, 12, 11, or 10 bits of resolution (equal to 0.35, 0.7, 1.4, 2.8, 5.6, or 11.4 mu -strain), respectively. The sensor network can communicate with up to 128 UASTs on a common 5-wire digital bus, eliminating the need for shielding and considerably reducing the number of wires which will have to be routed through the airframe. A network technology demonstration is being conducted on a 1/2 scale F-18 vertical tail where dynamic loads are appleid to evaluate network performance related to monitoring of fatigue crack growth or rivet-line filures. Application of the UAST in a helicopter rotor health usage crack growth or rivet-line failures. Application of the UAST in a helicopter rotor health usage and monitoring system, and the design of a bi-axial transducer under development, are also mentioned.
