T1 - Micro-CT begleitete in-situ Druckversuche an spongiösem Knochen - Vergleich(ende Bestimmung) des experimentellen und simulierten Verschiebungsfeldes mit der simulierten internen Spannung N2 - Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass sich ältere Schafe gut als Modell für die mi-nimalinvasive Behandlung von Osteoporose eignen [1]. Um einen Behandlungs-effekt nachzuweisen, wird dabei unter anderem die Belastungsfähigkeit des Kno-chens durch Druckversuche an kleinen Zylindern aus den behandelten und unbe-handelten Knochen bestimmt. Diese hatten hier einen Durchmesser von 10 mm und eine Höhe von 13 mm. Für den in-situ Druckversuch wurde eine Deben CT5000 verwendet. In einer Serie von Druckerhöhungen wurden die Proben je-weils tomographiert. Dabei ergab sich zunächst, dass mit der µCT innerhalb der Knochen im oberen und unteren Bereich schon Brüche nachgewiesen werden können, obwohl die gemessene Kraftaufnahmekurve keine Unstetigkeit zeigt. Deswegen wurden die starren Probenaufnehmer der Deben Anordnung durch bewegliche Aufnehmer ergänzt, die eine leichte Verkippung der belasteten Ober-flächen ausgleichen können. Ein Vergleich der gemessenen und der aus den µCT-Daten berechneten Verschiebungsfelder ergab trotz der komplexen Struktur der Knochen gute Übereinstimmungen. Diese Verschiebungen wurden dann mit den aus den µCT Daten simulierten mechanischen Druckversuchen, Von-Mise-Spannungen und daraus berechneten Verschiebungen verglichen. (VGStudioMax Simulation).

An ideally flat drop is impossible to conduct as a free fall of a container even under laboratory conditions. Dynamic stresses and strains inside the container structure are sensitive to the impact angle. Even very small impact angles cause remarkable changes in the experimental or numerical results when a flat bottom or wall of a container hits a flat target. For drop tests with transport packages the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) regulations define an essentially unyielding target. In contrast, potential accident scenarios for storage containers are derived from site-specific safety analyses or acceptance criteria in Germany. Each interim storage site or repository has a yielding or so-called real target with individual structural and material properties. The real target acts as a kind of impact limiter. A more conservative container design is required if the impact limiting effect of the target is not considered.

The computer program aRTist can generate synthetic radiographs from a virtual RT test set-up. In the field of industrial radiology simulation is used, e.g. to optimize techniques for complex applications, to support the preparation of written procedures, and for education purposes. The simulator aRTist combines analytical and Monte Carlo methods to efficiently model the radiation transport. The program comes with a graphical user interface written in Tcl/Tk. In combination of Tcl/Tk and the 3D capabilities of the visualization toolkit (VTK) a practical and convenient simulator has been realized. This will be illustrated by discussing application scenarios of classical radiography, X-ray computer tomography, and X-ray backscatter imaging. Additionally, some insight to the software implementation of the simulator will be given.

T1 - Simulation und Identifizierung von Delaminationen in kohlenstofffaserverstärkten Kunststoffen N2 - Kohlenstofffaserverstärkte Kunststoffe werden häufig in sicherheitsrelevanten Gebieten wie im Automobilbau und in der Luftfahrt eingesetzt. Hier besteht ein zunehmender Bedarf an zerstörungsfreien Prüfmethoden um die Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit der eingesetzten Bauteile gewährleisten zu können. Aktive Thermographieverfahren ermöglichen die effiziente Prüfung großer Flächen mit hoher Auflösung in wenigen Arbeitsschritten. Ein wichtiges Teilgebiet ist die Ortung und Charakterisierung von Delaminationen, die sowohl bereits in der Fertigung als auch während der Nutzung eines Bauteils auftreten und dessen strukturelle Integrität schwächen können. In diesem Beitrag beschäftigen wir uns mit der Modellierung und effizienten Finite-Elemente-Simulation solcher Delaminationen, sowie ihrer Rekonstruktion aus gemessenen Oberflächentemperaturen. Dabei sollen die Rekonstruktionsergebnisse nicht nur eine Ortung der Fehlstellen, sondern auch eine quantitative Beschreibung der geometrischen Abmessungen und des Umfangs der Schädigungen ermöglichen. Hier erlauben numerische Rekonstruktionsverfahren basierend auf der Simulation des dreidimensionalen Wärmetransports eine Defektrekonstruktion unter Berücksichtigung lateraler Wärmeleitungsprozesse sowie von anisotropen thermischen Materialeigenschaften. Da solche Verfahren sehr rechenaufwändig sind diskutieren wir schnelle heuristische Rekonstruktionsverfahren für die Anwendung in der Praxis.

The procedure used is similar to an Abbott-Firestone approach and based on functional bearing of projected area, surface area and material volume. Surface features extracted from surface height maps provide more comprehensive information about topography changes due to wear. Thus, they were used to detect low wear volumes on the top of asperities.

In all cases the durability of materials can be improved through better surface engineering and coatings, but the development of these is restricted also due to lack of generic models. In this respect, the simulation of a single impact with finite element methods using 100.000 knots would take about 15 minutes. In order to simulate an entire particle erosion experiment, up to one billion of such impacts would have to be considered. In order to simulate an entire particle erosion experiment, the current work presents an alternative approach capable of calculating about half a billion impacts on a substrate in less than six hours on a standard PC. The predictions of the simulation will be compared to a steel sample at 600°C eroded by aluminum oxide particles with a velocity around 210 m/s.

BAM is involved in most of the cask licensing procedures and especially responsible for the evaluation of cask-related long-term safety issues. The long-term performance of elastomer seals for lid systems of transport and storage casks, whether used as auxiliary seals in spent fuel casks or as primary seals for low and intermediate level waste packages, is an important issue in this context. The polymeric structure of these seals causes a complex mechanical behavior with time-dependent sealing force reduction. The results of a comprehensive purpose-designed test program consisting of basic compression and tension tests as well as relaxation tests on unaged specimens of representative types of elastomers (fluorocarbon rubber (FKM) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM)) at different temperatures and strain rates are presented. They were used to identify the constitutive behavior and to obtain parameters for finite element material models provided by the computer code ABAQUS®. After estimating the influence of uncertainties such as Poisson’s ratio and friction coefficient by sensitivity analyses, the chosen parameters had to prove their suitability for the finite element simulation of the specimen tests themselves. Based on this preliminary work the simulation of a specific laboratory test configuration containing a typical elastomer seal with circular cross section is presented. The chosen finite element material model and the implemented parameters had to show that they are able to represent not only the specimen behavior under predominantly uniaxial load but also the more complex stress states in real components. Deviations between the measured and calculated results are pointed out and discussed. For the consideration of long-term effects in the simulation of elastomer behavior, test results of aged specimens are needed. First information about a new test program, started recently and planned to provide these data, are given.

The main drawbacks, using probes incorporating a very large number of transducer elements, are the needs for an appropriate cabling and an ultrasonic device offering many parallel channels. Matrix arrays designed for extended functionality feature at least 64 or more elements. Typical arrangements are square matrices, e.g. 10 by 10 or 11 by 11 or rectangular matrices, e.g. 8 by 16 or 10 by 12 to fit a 128-channel phased array system. In some phased array systems, the number of simultaneous active elements is limited to a certain number, e.g. 32 or 64. Those setups do not allow to run the probe with all elements active which may cause a significant change in the directivity pattern of the resulting sound beam. When only a subset of elements is possible to use during a single acquisition, different strategies may be applied to collect enough data for rebuilding the missing information from the echo signal. Omission of certain elements may be one approach, overlay of subsequent shots with different active areas may be another one. This paper presents the influence of decreased number of active elements on the sound field and their distribution on the array. An example for 16 active elements out of 121 is given in Figure 1. The sound field divergence and its shape basically remain the same, while the sensitivity is reduced and the amplitudes of the speckle-like side lobes increase significantly. Solutions using subsets with different element activity patterns on matrix arrays and their advantages and disadvantages concerning the sound field are evaluated using semi-analytic simulation tools. Sound field criteria regarding the consequences for NDT test results and the system setup are discussed.

Meistens wir in Durchschallung geprüft, aber bei der einseitigen Zugänglichkeit muss eine Art Tandemtechnik mit Anregung von geführten Wellen angewendet werden. Bei beiden Techniken ist der Signal-Rausch-Abstand wegen der niedrigen akustischen Impedanz der Luft deutlich kleiner als bei einer typischen Prüfung in Kontakttechnik. Bei der Tandemtechnik wird das Signal zusätzlich durch eine größere Divergenz und Dämpfung geschwächt. Deshalb ist es wichtig, die Anregung, Ausbreitung und Detektion von geführten Wellen in Faserverbunden zu verstehen. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Finite-Elemente-Modell für die Simulation von luftgekoppelter Anregung und Ausbreitung von geführten Wellen in Faserverbunden vorgestellt und mit Messungen verglichen.

Due to the enormous heat flux and the exothermic self-decomposition large flames arise and finally multiple fireballs occur. The fireballs consume up to 20 % of the total mass (20 % equals to 31 kg). They are characterized by high surface emissive power and large flames associated with high thermal radiation causing spontaneous ignition of objects in the surrounding. The measured sizes of the DTBP fireballs are smaller compared to the results of the general equations for hydrocarbon fireballs. Because these equations are recommended by the Health and Safety Executive (UK) to be applicable for organic peroxides explicit comparisons of DTBP with LPG, diesel and gasoline concerning the characteristics of fireballs are carried out. Also the burning time is compared and confirms a faster combustion of the peroxide. Moreover, the development of size and emissive power for DTBP and diesel fireballs are compared in a normalized graph. The results provide the assumption that new empirical models are required to be developed for hazard assessment of organic peroxide fireballs. T2 - 5.

T1 - Ray tracing boudary value problems: simulation and SAFT reconstruction for ultrasonic testing N2 - The application of advanced imaging techniques for the ultrasonic inspection of inhomogeneous anisotropic materials like austenitic and dissimilar welds requires information about acoustic wave propagation through the material, in particular travel times between two points in the material. Forward ray tracing is a popular approach to determine traveling paths and arrival times but is ill suited for inverse problems since a large number of rays have to be computed in order to arrive at prescribed end points. In this contribution we discuss boundary value problems for acoustic rays, where the ray path between two given points is determined by solving the eikonal equation. The implementation of such a two point boundary value ray tracer for sound field simulations through an austenitic weld is described and its efficiency as well as the obtained results are compared to those of a forward ray tracer. The results are validated by comparison with experimental results and commercially available UT simulation tools. As an application, we discuss an implementation of the method for SAFT (Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique) reconstruction. The ray tracer calculates the required travel time through the anisotropic columnar grain structure of the austenitic weld. There, the formulation of ray tracing as a boundary value problem allows a straightforward derivation of the ray path from a given transducer position to any pixel in the reconstruction area and reduces the computational cost considerably.

BAM is involved in most of the cask licensing procedures and is responsible for the evaluation of cask-related long-term safety issues. Elastomeric seals are widely used as barrier seals for containers for low and intermediate level radioactive waste. In addition they are also used as auxiliary seals in spent fuel storage and transportation casks (dual purpose casks (DPC)). To address the complex requirements resulting from the described applications, BAM has initiated several test programs for investigating the behavior of elastomeric seals. These include experiments concerning the hyperelastic and viscoelastic behavior at different temperatures and strain rates, the low temperature performance down to -40°C, the influence of gamma irradiation and the aging behavior. The first part of the paper gives an overview of these tests, their relevant results and their possible impact on BAM’s work as a consultant in the framework of approval and licensing procedures. The second part presents an approach of the development of a finite element model using the finite element code ABAQUS®. The long-term goal is to simulate the complex elastomeric behavior in a complete lid closure system under specific operation and accident conditions.

If the crack is initiated in the axle, cyclic loading will lead to crack propagation. To maintain structural integrity, axles must be periodically inspected for fatigue cracks in the material. Deutsche Bahn uses mechanized ultrasonic inspection system to inspect hollow railway axles. The inspections are performed from the bore surface, using several conventional transducers with different incident angles, inspecting the axle along the entire length. As with the every safety critical system, the reliability of these inspections must be determined with regard to their flaw detection capabilities. Traditionally this is done according to the relevant standards for railway vehicles. To investigate the capability of the NDT system more thoroughly, we want to evaluate the capability of the inspection system to detect flaws by means of probability of detection (POD) curves. It will be shown that other parameters, beside the size of the crack, for example crack position in the axle, influence the detection of the crack. The influence of these parameters was evaluated using ultrasonic simulation. The evaluation served as an input for the manufacturing of the flaws in the real scale axle. Once these axles are inspected and the data evaluated, using data from both measurement and simulation, we will express the POD of the crack as function of influencing parameters using the multiparameter POD model.

It is increasingly used to optimize techniques for complex applications, to support the preparation of written procedures, and for education purposes. To describe the complete chain of RT, the model includes simulating all necessary properties of X- or Gamma-ray sources, the interaction of photons with material with special attention to scattered radiation, the detection process, and the complete geometrical RT setup handling arbitrary parts or constructions. Depending on the given inspection problem and the influencing factors that should be addressed by the simulation, an appropriate physical model has to be chosen to describe the underlying interaction mechanisms. The simulator aRTist combines analytical and Monte Carlo methods to efficiently model the radiation transport such that transmission as well as scatter techniques can be modelled. In this contribution we focus on Monte Carlo simulation of scatter contribution within aRTist. Examples for RT/tomographic applications and back-scatter techniques are presented to demonstrate the usability of the presented simulation tool for a broad range of radiological applications.

Experiments were performed on a test phantom containing step wedges of different low- and high-Z materials. We evaluated the ratio between low- and high-energy X-ray attenuation coefficients quantitatively based on simulated poly-energetic high-energy X-ray source spectra and the detector sensitivity using the “analytical Radiographic Testing inspection simulation tool” (aRTist) developed at BAM. Furthermore, the influence of scattered radiation is evaluated using an efficient Monte-Carlo simulation. The simulation results are compared quantitatively with experimental investigations. Finally, important applications of the proposed technique in the context of aviation security are discussed.

In difference to conventional transmission X-ray radiography, the X-ray backscatter imaging utilizes the scattered radiation caused by the Compton scattering effect. In order to achieve high backscatter intensities from a test object, it is necessary to optimize the backscatter system parameters namely the angle between source and slit camera, the slit collimator system, the shielding between source and scatter camera, and the type of detector. In addition, the scatter phenomena in to the investigated object need to be understood. In this contribution, we present a Monte Carlo model McRay which considers all relevant single and multiple interactions of photons and electrons. This model can be used to simulate back scatter techniques. It allows not only calculating the scatter image for a given experimental setup but also registering the spectrum of the detected scattered photons. Both aspects are important to understand the imaging process, to interpret the results, and to optimize the backscatter camera investigated here. Additionally experimental results will be presented and compared with simulations.

Therefore, the alloy EN-GJSA-XNiSiCr35-5-2 (Ni-Resist D-5S) was chosen. Firstly, an experimental database was established for this material because it was insufficient at the beginning of the project. Tensile, creep, LCF and TMF tests were carried out, which served the calibration of the models. The TMF tests were used to validate the deformation model. The investigated material showed a strongly deviating behavior under TMF conditions compared to the ferritic SiMo alloys investigated in the previous project: Ni-Resist exhibited a comparable strength under OP- and IP-TMF loading, while the ferritic alloys showed a distinct higher strength under IP-TMF load. Evidence for creep damage was found for Ni-Resist with increasing temperatures and hold times under tensile load. This is also a distinct difference to the SiMo alloys. The stress-strain behavior of the LCF and TMF tests is well described by the model for the new material in most cases. The same is true for the lifetime prediction, which is within a factor of two, except for 900 °C. The model was verified by a thermal shock test of an exhaust man-ifold. The aim of the simulation was in particular to predict the crack locations. An accurate prediction of the cycle number was not expected, as the component is afflicted with a casting skin, while the test pieces were not. The predominant number of experimentally determined locations were predicted. A fundamental objective of this project was to study the effect of HCF vibrations on the TMF lifetime experimentally in further detail and to extend the existing lifetime model to account for superimposed HCF load. In a first step, the database of the previous project based on SiMo 4.05 was considerably extended to determine the different influencing parameters. A proce-dure was developed which reproduces the lifetime reduction by the superimposed HCF vibra-tions during a TMF cycle. It is assumed that the superimposed HCF load accelerates the crack propagation considerably after exceeding a certain crack length. The time when the accelera-tion occurs, is significant for the lifetime reduction. This approach allows predicting the lifetimes in good agreement with the experiments for both materials.

Ein diskreter scharfer Riß wird durch einen Regularisierungsansatz in ein Phasenfeld überführt, das einen kontinuierlichen Übergang zwischen Riß und Restmaterial abbildet. Modelle von C(T) - Bruchmechanikproben konnten unter monoton wachsender Belastung simuliert werden. Die Ergebnisse konnten mit analytischen Ergebnissen der linear-elastischen Bruchmechanik verglichen werden. Ablenkungen des Rißpfades konnten durch Modelle von gelochten Proben simuliert werden. An dem Modell eines Dreipunktbiegeversuchs konnte die Rißinitiierung demonstriert werden. Die Kenntnis und Modellierung eines vordefinierten Rißpfades ist bei Verwendung dieses Modells nicht erforderlich, was insbesondere zur Untersuchung von komplexen Rißpfaden von Vorteil sein kann.
