Must have a lot of car owners have had an awkward experience: the car parked on the roadside to work, the results came back but found the vehicle was rub, event road section even if monitoring, the entire claim process is often very cumbersome.Recently, by Clemson The university-led project, funded by the US Army Research Laboratory, plans to equip vehicles such as helicopters, trucks and tanks with pain-like systems similar to humans to enable them to perceive varying degrees of damage.
At the heart of this project is magnetostrictive materials that mimic the effects of changes and impacts on magnetic fields or physical stresses in humans that can be sandwiched between several composite materials.When equipped on a vehicle, the system senses, for example, impact, cracking And abnormal load, etc. The corresponding damage report is then sent to the computer for subsequent processing.
Oliver Myers, a research fellow at the project, said: 'In this area, we need self-diagnostic capabilities, as Lieutenant Data in Star Trek says' I'm doing specific parameters' and we want our platform to be able to perform at least some specific tasks.
