National Initiatives

CEA List : Acoustic High Frequency synchronous and wireless

Participants : Vincent Le Cam, Arthur Bouché.

In the area of infrastructure, strengthening links with CEA-LIST and Alstom-Rail will focus on non-destructive ultrasonic testing methods for rails. We will focus in particular on the opening of cracks in the passage of the trains, which requires a very precise synchronization of the various sensors. In 2019 the first tests of validation on the site of Bar le Duc with the help of the prototype were conclusive: capacities to emit and receive ultrasonic waves in 1.4 km of rail by perfectly synchronized materials (until the microsecond UT ). In 2020 the objectives of the future contract will be:

  • make several boxes to carry out more complete tests

  • conducting qualification test campaigns (according to CDC Alstom)

  • upgrade the high frequency daughter card (with PEGASE 3 more globally)

ANR Resbati

Participants : Ludovic Gaverina, Jean Dumoulin.

  • Type: ANR

  • Objectif: In-situ measurements of thermal wall resistance

  • Duration: 10/2016 to 10/2019

  • Coordinator: Laurent Ibos

  • Partners : IFSTTAR, CERTES, CEREMA, CSTB, LNE, THEMACS, AFNOR

  • Inria contact: Jean Dumoulin

  • Abstract: RESBATI is an applied research project whose objective is to develop a field measurement device that meets precise specifications to systematically measure the level of thermal insulation of building walls. The preferred metrological tool is infrared thermography. A smart logger and a protype have been developed and presented. A full autonomous system has been studied and developed for in-situ measurement on existing building envelope. In parallel, thermal resistance estimation method was studied. First experiments were carried out with a first generation prototype in 2019. For this purpose different instrumented building walls were built and qualified at CSTB before carrying out in-situ evaluations of the prototype.
