Non-Destructive Methods for the Localization of Woodworms via Acoustic Analysis

Abstract:

The problem of finding a suitable diagnostic procedure for the examination of structural elements has been closely analyzed in recent years. In this connection, the main material of interest is wood as a type of heterogeneous matter, and the diagnostic procedure is directed towards enabling prospective industrial application. A new diagnostic method based on X-ray imaging and acoustic electromagnetic waves has been proposed and tested. The X-ray technique utilizes the reduction of the imaging information into 2D planar projection; it allows us to represent clearly the rate of material damage through displaying the weighted damage rate.
