The present work aims at trying out Acoustic Impact Technique as a possible means of deployment at field level for the purpose of flaw detection in composite helicopter blades. The principle underlying Acoustic Impact Testing is simple. The sound produced when a structure is tapped is mainly at the frequencies of major structural modes of vibration, which are structural properties. Any difference in the sound is necessarily due to modification affected to the force input by the defect in the structure. A study of the force time history of response or its fast fourier transform makes it possible to locate and detect sub surface flaws. 3, record 4, English, - acoustic%20impact%20technique

Just as the cell doctrine has proved central in biology, and germ theory is pivotal in the area of disease, so the concept of physical symbol system is deemed by Simon and Newell and their colleagues at Carnegie-Mellon as the core doctrine in the area of computer science. Proceeding in Boolean spirit, the job of the theorist is to identify that set of processes which operates on symbolic expressions in order to produce other expressions that create, modify, reproduce, and/or transform symbolic structures. A physical symbol system is necessary and sufficient to carry out intelligent actions; and, conversely, any system that exhibits general intelligence will prove upon analysis to be a physical symbol system. Such a system consists of a control, a memory, a set of operations, and input and output : its input consists of objects in certain locations; its processes are operations upon the input; its output is the modification or re-creation of objects in certain locations. 1, record 11, English, - physical%20symbol%20system

Jeu d'entités (formes physiques) qui peuvent se manifester comme composantes d'un autre type d'entité (expression, structure de symboles). A chaque instant, le système contient un assemblage de ces structures et un ensemble de processus pour produire d'autres structures par création, modification, reproduction ou élimination. Dans le temps, le système est une machine qui produit un assemblage évolutif de structures de symboles. Selon l'hypothèse fondamentale de l'intelligence artificielle (Newell et Simons), cet assemblage possède les moyens nécessaires et suffisants pour une action intelligente. 1, record 11, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20symboles%20physiques
