Real-time remote visualization of frame damage from field data

Abstract:

A visualization system for visualizing structural integrity of a frame is provided. The visualization system may include a monitoring device having one or more sensors coupled to the frame, and a workstation in communication with the one or more sensors. The sensors may be configured to measure field damage data. The workstation may include a display device, an analytical model database storing model damage data, and a controller. The controller may be configured to receive the field damage data from the sensors, receive the model damage data from the analytical model database, generate an events log based on the field damage data and the model damage data, map the model damage data to a visual model of the frame based on the events log, and display the visual model of the frame on the display device.
