Automated Bridge Scour Inspection FSU/FAMU College of Engineering Team 7 Proposal 10/27/2010
Griffin Francis - ME Vertical Motion Module Circumferential Motion Module SONAR Tilt
Vertical Motion Module • Objective: • Mechanically achieve motion with respect to sea floor • Considerations for Approach: • Drive train design • Constraining motion • Motor control
Vertical Motion Module • Design Concepts: • Pulleys, geared drive, thrusters, buoyancy manipulation, rollers • Proposed Approach: • High-friction contact rollers • Worm-gear drive train • Non-driven guide rollers • DC motor with control unit
Circumferential Motion Module • Objective: • Mechanically achieve motion with respect to circumference of piling • Considerations for Approach: • Drive train design • Constraining motion • Motor control
Circumferential Motion Module • Design Concepts: • Geared drive, thrusters, rollers • Proposed Approach: • High-friction contact roller • Slot guided bearings • DC motor with control unit
SONAR Tilt • Objective: • Mechanically position SONAR sensor with respect to vertical axis of piling • Considerations for Approach: • Independent motion • Constraining motion • Motor control
SONAR Tilt • Proposed Approach: • SONAR sensor boom • Hinged to circumferential module • Servo motor for hinge rotation • Controlled directly by microcontroller
Matthew Kent - ME Localization Robot Structure Fabrication
Encoders • Optical Rotary Encoders • At least two Channels • Incremental • Speed • Placement • Resolution • Durability • Waterproof
System Structure • Waterproof housing for Electronics • Cables • Rotating Shafts (Difficult) • Materials and Fasteners • Lightweight • Corrosion Resistant
Ryan Szoke - EE • Electronics: • SONAR • Power Supply Design • Electrical System Integration
SONAR Sensor • Buy and Test SONAR Sensors - Budget limits • Test for Accuracy, Resolution, Range - Use best sensor after testing multiple ones • SONAR used for depth readings & scour data collecting - Lots of testing with programming and mechanical movements
Power Supply Design Battery (need all specs) Voltage Regulators (if component does not have one) Circuit Protection (Fuses) On/Off Switch AGM Battery Capacity 12000mAh (12aH) Voltage 6.0 V Size 5.94 x 1.34 x 3.70 in. Weight 4.6 lbs (getting heavy) Price $13.99
Electrical System Integration Wiring Electrical Components - Connect motor controller, microcontroller to battery - All connections secured
Dezmond Moore - CPE • Microcontroller Programming: • Autonomous Operation
Program Modules • Vertical Movement • Encoder • Sonar • Motor Controller • Circumferential Movement • Encoders • Motor Controller • Sonar Tilt • Servo
Drew Doan - CPE • Microcontroller Programming: • SONAR • Software Development: • Mapping Software
SONAR Sensor Programming • SONAR sends/receives sound wave • Time from transmission to reception needs to be converted to a distance by microcontroller • Distance = (Speed of Sound * Time) / 2 • Freshwater ~1500m/s • Saltwater ~1435m/s • Distance stored in RAM on microcontroller • Activated at every “scan point”
Software Development • Once scan is complete, robot returns to surface for data analysis • The microcontroller is connected to an external computer via USB • The data needs to be used to create a 3D image of the scour region surrounding the bridge pile • Program needs to automatically read the data and use it as the input for the image processing software and produce an image w/ minimal work by technician • Image should be easily readable and understood; ideally a key will be included showing depth/color relationships
Mapping • Data @ each “scan point”: • Vertical Position • Circumferential Position • Angle of sensor • Distance to target • Use Mathscript in LabVIEW to design a program w/ MATLAB functions that converts the data into x,y,z coordinates
Possible Outcomes LabVIEW Visual Data
