High-tech speed bump detects damage to army vehicles

Researchers have developed a technology that detects damage to critical suspension components in military vehicles simply by driving over a speed bumplike 'diagnostic cleat' containing sensors. 'Our aim is to save time and maintenance costs, but more importantly to reduce downtime by catching damage before it leads to failure in the field,' said Douglas Adams, an associate professor of mechanical engineering and director of Purdue University's Centre for Systems Integrity...
