Challenges
Inadequate system stability in the existing aircraft structural health monitoring solution
Absence of compliance with stringent military standards
Insufficient high-speed data acquisition capabilities
Solution
- Designed heterogeneous acquisition board to achieve time synchronization between data set of multiple sensors like piezoelectric, resistance temperature detectors, strain gauge for detecting composite damage, crack and impact that occur on aircraft structure
- Designed and developed firmware application to read the sensor data of Piezoelectric, Temperature, RTD, Strain Gauge sensors
- Supported high data acquisition speed up to 30kS/s.
- Conducted pre-compliance tests for FCC class B, MIL-S-901,MIL-STD-167-1
- Performed functional validation of all the interfaces (SPI, UART,SDIO) with the hardware platform
Outcomes
- FCC, Military standard compliant (MIL-S-901,MIL-STD-167-1) rugged board design helped client to extend its solution reach to military applications
