Analog computing enables low-transistor damage detection system

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a fully analog damage detection system for ultrasonic testing, aiming to overcome the limitations of digital processing. This new system utilizes analog electronics for signal processing and feature extraction, including an analog Hilbert transform and an analog Artificial Neural Network for classification. The goal is to create a damage detection system with fewer than 100 transistors, significantly reducing energy consumption and complexity compared to traditional digital methods. The system will be tested on signals from steel plates with defects. AI

IMPACT This analog approach could lead to more energy-efficient and compact AI hardware for specialized sensing applications.

    Analog Computing revisited: A fully analog and minimalistic Damage Detector for Ultrasonic Testing enabling Material-Integrated Structural Health Monitoring

    Ultrasonic Testing (UT) is commonly used to detect damage in structures, e.g., metal plates. A sensor acquires Ultrasonic waves, e.g., by using PZT transducers. The time-resolved sensor signal must be processed with analog electronics, e.g., amplified and filtered. Commonly a dig…
