Impulse Response Test

Impulse Response Test uses a low-strain impact to cause the structural member to vibrate in a bending mode and compute the amplitude of the response through the probe placed on the surface.

The test system allows quick screening of structure for flaws like honeycombing, delaminations, voids etc. and identifies suspect areas for subsequent detailed assessment.

The Impulse Response Test conforms to ASTM C1740-10 standard. Avantech Engineering Consortium has carried out Impulse Response Test for screening of structural flaws in slabs in ware houses, deck slabs in buildings and bridges, airport aprons etc.
