Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03027670A1] The invention concerns a device and a method for detecting defects (1) in an object (2) comprising means for locally exciting the surface (3) of the object (2) including at least a friction element (4), means for detecting the vibratory response of the object (2) and means for processing the detected signal. The friction elements (4) advantageously comprise brushes. The detection means include microphones (7) arranged proximate to brushes or accelerometers (7), coupled with said brushes. The signal processing means comprise an acquisition card (8) and a computer (10). Displacement means (11) cause the object (2) to move at constant speed relative to the excitation and detection means, or inversely. Said device and said method can advantageously be used for non-destructive industrial control of assembled solid wooden parts and wood-based products (tiles, panels, and the like) for fast detection of defects (delamination, blisters and the like).
