Abstract
A method and a device for managing resources for monitoring elongate structures that can serve as elastic waveguides are provided. The structure is instrumented with a plurality of transducers capable of acquiring signals measuring characteristic quantities of elastic waves being propagated in the structure, each transducer being coupled to an electronic device installed along the structure. An electronic device comprises at least means for processing the measurement signals received from at least one transducer and a processor having code instructions for implementing steps of the resource management method consisting in: initializing an electronic device in nominal mode, the nominal mode making it possible to initiate an inspection of the elongate structure by a local analysis of elastic waves generated upon the passage of a mobile device in proximity to a transducer or initializing the device in detection mode, the detection mode making it possible to initiate, by a transducer, an emission of elastic waves in the elongate structure and make an inspection of the elongate structure by a local analysis of signals derived from the elastic waves emitted; maintaining the electronic device in nominal mode or switching the electronic device over to detection mode when an anomaly is detected in an inspection in nominal mode; maintaining the electronic device in detection mode or switching the electronic device over to assessment mode when a fault is detected in an inspection in detection mode, the assessment mode making it possible to transmit data on signals derived from elastic waves emitted in the structure to a remote server to generate a more in-depth analysis.
