Remote static and dynamic monitoring with accelerometer to mitigate large external vibrations.
An advanced microwave interferometry based system for remote static and dynamic monitoring, IBIS-FS Plus inferometric radar is used on bridges and other structures including buildings, historical monuments and towers. An accelerometer version of IBIS-FS, this radar mitigates the effect of large external vibration sources on results.
In static, the IBIS-FS Plus is ideal for:
- Structure load testing;
- Structure displacement and collapse hazards;
- Cultural heritage preservation.
In dynamic, the IBIS-FS Plus is best used for:
- Structure resonance frequency measurements;
- Structural modal shape analysis.
In either state, the IBIS-FS Plus features:
- Remote sensing: Real-time remote sensing at up to 1 km with no need for equipment to be installed on the monitored structure.
- Accurate measurements: Measures displacements of as little as 0.01mm @ 0.5km range. No standard instrument can achieve such accuracy.
- Ground vibration removal: Built-in accelerometer to cancel the self-induced vibrations transmitted to the radar from the ground.
- Sampling: Structural vibration sampling up to 200 Hz.
- Always operational: Operates day and night and in all weather conditions.
IBIS-FS Plus is part of the IBIS family which provides trusted safety critical radar monitoring systems able to measure sub-millimeter displacement with the highest data quality. Meet the other products of the family: IBIS ArcSAR Lite / Performance; IBIS-FB; IBIS-FM EVO; IBIS.FS.
Benefits of the IBIS-FS Plus include:
- Accurate measurements even when the system is installed in places with large ground vibrations;
- Increase structural health monitoring efficiency through the use of a non-invasive vibration monitoring technique;
- Accurate and remote real-time monitoring of structural vibration and natural frequencies;
- Reduces the time required for static or dynamic bridge structural testing to just a few minutes
