Abstract
According to an embodiment, a nondestructive inspection method includes: detecting, by a plurality of sensors installed in a truck that supports a vehicle body, an elastic wave generated when a lifting member inserted between the vehicle body and the truck moves the vehicle body up and down; and estimating, by an evaluation device, a position of a defect in the truck, based on the elastic wave detected by the plurality of sensors.
Claims8
A nondestructive inspection method comprising:
- detecting, by a plurality of sensors installed in a truck that supports a vehicle body, an elastic wave generated when a lifting member inserted between the vehicle body and the truck moves the vehicle body up and down;
- and
- estimating, by an evaluation device, a position of a defect in the truck, based on the elastic wave detected by the plurality of sensors.
A nondestructive inspection system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors configured to detect an elastic wave generated when a lifting member moves a vehicle body up and down from a truck that supports the vehicle body;
- a locating unit configured to derive an emission source distribution of the elastic wave, based on the elastic wave detected by the plurality of sensors;
- and
- an evaluation unit configured to estimate a position of a defect in the truck from the emission source distribution.
