Acellent's SMART Patch System (SPS™)
is similar to a built-in non-destructive inspection system that
can be used for monitoring of damage in hot-spot structural
areas. The system is easy to use on both metal and composite
structures. For example, the system can be used to detect disbonds
in repair patches and monitor crack growth.
Features of the
system:
Sensor network layer can be installed in minutes*
SMART Patch can be used with aerospace grade adhesives
Does not alter manufacturing/repair installation processes
Easy to monitor inaccessible hot-spot and repair areas
Portable
hardware can be plugged in at anytime to obtain structural information
Diagnostic imaging tools help detect and track damage growth
* Installation time varies with size of
structure |
