ABSTRACT:
A system and method for determining whether leaks exist in a pressure vessel comprises measuring a mechanical response of the pressure vessel using any of an acoustic sensor and a vibration sensor; processing the mechanical response using a digital signal processor system; categorizing the processed mechanical response into events of interest and events not of interest; and determining if any of a ballistic impact and penetration of the pressure vessel has occurred based on the processed mechanical response, wherein the mechanical response comprises any of an acoustic response and a vibration response, wherein the events of interest comprise any of environmental events and ballistic events, wherein the categorizing comprises differentiating the environmental events from the ballistic events, and wherein the events not of interest comprise noise.
