SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATING FAILURE EVENT IN SAMPLE UNDER LOAD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a system (10) for specifying the location of a failure event in a sample (12). SOLUTION: The system (10) includes at least one sensor (14), configured so as to detect the acoustic energy that corresponds to the failure event in the sample (12). The system (10) also includes an infrared camera (14) configured so as to detect the release of thermal energy, corresponding to the failure event in the sample (12). COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
