Rot detection in wooden poles using electrical impedance tomography

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The proposal for this dissertation was to develop a nondestructive method of testing wooden utility poles for rot and termite damage. The nondestructive method that was chosen for this project was that of electrical impedance tomography in which an image of the permittivity in a cross section would be created from impedance measurements made between electrodes attached to the boundary of the pole.
