A Synthetic Phased Array Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor for Quantifying Bolt Tension

A Synthetic Phased Array Surface Acoustic Wave Sensor for Quantifying Bolt Tension

In this paper, we report our findings on implementing a synthetic phased array surface acoustic wave sensor to quantify bolt tension. Maintaining proper bolt tension is important in many fields such as for ensuring safe operation of civil infrastructures. Significant advantages of this relatively si...
