SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INTERNAL STRUCTURAL DEFECT ANALYSIS USING THREE-DIMENSIONAL SENSOR DATA

摘要

A method for structural analysis of an object includes generating scanned surface data of an object using a three-dimensional sensor and aligning a physical object model corresponding to the scanned surface data with a predetermined three-dimensional model of the object. The method also includes identifying an interference between a location of the aligned physical object model, optionally including any elastic deformation with an internal component within the three-dimensional model and generating an indicator of expected damage to the internal component.

1. A method for structural analysis comprising:
generating with a three-dimensional sensor surface scan data of an object; generating with a processor a physical object model of a surface of the object with reference to the surface scan data of the object; aligning with the processor the generated physical object model with a surface of a predetermined three-dimensional model of the object in a three-dimensional virtual environment; identifying with the processor an interference between the physical object model aligned with the predetermined three-dimensional model and a volume occupied by an internal component in the predetermined three-dimensional model, the internal component not being present in the sensor surface scan data of the object; and generating with an output device an indicator of expected damage to the internal component within the object in response to the identification of the interference.
