Geführte Ultraschallwellen zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie große Distanzen innerhalb des zu prüfenden Bauteiles zurücklegen können. Das Ultraschallwellenfeld setzt sich dabei aus verschieden Moden zusammen. Etablierte Prüfverfahren mit geführten Wellen ermitteln häufig nur die Position der Fehlstelle, wobei die Laufzeiten der reflektierten Signale ausgewertet wird. Modenumwandlung bleibt dabei zumeist unberücksichtigt. Die Charakterisierung der Fehlstelle, zum Beispiel hinsichtlich der Länge eines Risses, ist dagegen herausfordernd. Aussagekräftige Zusammenhänge zwischen der Dimension oder Geometrie der Fehlstelle und ihrer Interaktion mit der Ultraschallwelle zu finden, ist Teil aktueller Forschung. Insbesondere eine Betrachtung der Moden höherer Ordnung und deren Amplitudenverhältnisse kann beim Aufspüren dieser Zusammenhänge hilfreich sein. Im Beitrag werden zunächst die Zusammenhänge zwischen den beiden fundamentalen Moden in einer isotropen Platte und der Länge eines Risses untersucht. Aus den Ergebnissen wird ein inverses Verfahren motiviert. Ein Algorithmus wird vorgestellt, der die Risslänge im Modell solange variiert, bis er die modalen Zusammenhänge einer Vorgabe oder einer Messung rekonstruiert. Die eingesetzte Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method ermöglicht dabei eine sehr kurze Rechenzeit in jeden Optimierungsschritt. Zusätzlich ermöglicht die Methode eine Auswertung der modalen Zusammenhänge ohne Postprocessing, was die Rechenzeiten weiter verkürzt. T2 - DAGA 2019 - 45.

Die meisten Messsysteme sind jedoch nicht in der Lage, die Flüssigkeit direkt im Rohr zu untersuchen und es muss eine zusätzliche Vorrichtung, wie z.B. einem Bypass, angebracht werden, welche den Kontakt zwischen Flüssigkeit und Sensor ermöglicht. Um den Einbauaufwand gering zu halten und die Strömungseigenschaften des Rohres nicht zu beeinflussen, wird ein neuartiges Messsystem entwickelt, welches als Teil der Rohrwand ausgeführt werden kann. Dieses neuartige System ist angelehnt an die Idee der phononischen Kristallen (PnK). PnK’s bestehen im Allgemeinen aus einem Matrixmaterial, in welchem Streuzentren periodisch angeordnet sind. Dies führt beim Eintreffen einer akustischen Welle in definierten Frequenz-bereichen, sogenannter Bandlücken, zu zunehmender destruktiven Interferenz. Wird innerhalb einer solchen Bandlücke durch Einbringen einer flüssigkeitsgefüllten Kavität ein Resonanzverhalten erzeugt, kann dies genutzt werden, um die Flüssigkeit zu analysieren. Im Rahmen von Voruntersuchung wird zunächst das akustische Verhalten des PnK’s, welcher für die Sensorentwicklung genutzt werden soll, unter Vernachlässigung der Flüssigkeit ausführlich untersucht. Hierbei werden zunächst die Bandlücken ermittelt und das Übertragungsverhalten betrachtet. Dieses wird im Anschluss experimentell überprüft. T2 - DAGA 2019 - 45.

Modern FOS techniques allow truly temporally- and spatially-continuous monitoring over extended distances; a feature not attainable with any other sensing technology. Moreover, depending on their particular material composition and design, optical fibres can be made resistant to high temperatures, chemicals and ionizing radiation. Due to this unique combination of advantageous properties, ever since their emergence, FOS have been attracting considerable attention for monitoring tasks in harsh, hazardous and difficult-to-access locations. The potential of FOS has been recognized also in the field of radioactive waste management and fibreoptic sensors belong to the most promising technologies for nuclear waste repositories (NWR) monitoring. Vast majority of distributed fibreoptic sensor applications rely on use of silica-based optical fibres as sensing elements. At the same time, distributed measurement of local temperature and strain along the fibre are the most common monitoring tasks addressed by fibreoptic sensors. Nevertheless, FOS offer much larger flexibility both in terms of utilized sensing fibre as well as targeted measurand. In this contribution, we will review some of more alternative implementations of FOS that are being explored at “Fibre Optic Sensors” division of Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing (BAM), in Berlin. The main focus will be twofold. On one side, we will address FOS applications with polymer optical fibres (POF), that may enable monitoring of large strains (>100%) and high-sensitivity radiation detection. On the other side, we will present our activities in the area of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS); one of the most recent developments in the fibreoptic sensing field enabling highly-dynamic vibration sensing with nanostrain sensitivity. We will introduce the principles of the addressed FOS technologies, present application examples from our case studies, discuss advantages and limitations of the techniques and highlight their potential for NWR monitoring.

By increasing the repetition rate of the applied laser to several 100 kHz, laser processing becomes quick and cost-effective and make this method attractive for industrial applications. Upon exceeding a critical laser intensity, hard X-ray radiation is generated as a side effect. Even if the emitted X-ray dose per pulse is low, the accumulated X-ray dose becomes significant for high-repetition-rate laser systems so that radiation safety must be considered.

T1 - Application of ultrasonic techniques for quality assurance of salt concrete engineered barriers: Shape, cracks and delamination N2 - The closure of underground nuclear waste disposal facilities requires reliable gas- and water-tight engineered barriers. In Germany, barriers made from salt concrete have been evaluated in full scale. While the barriers seem to fulfill the requirements regarding permeability, some unexpected cracks have been detected at the surface and at depth. In cooperation between the Federal Company for Radioactive Waste Disposal (BGE) and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM), several experiments have been carried out to evaluate the applicability for ultrasonic measurements in crack detection and general quality assurance. Both commercial instruments and specially developed devices have been tested on site. Using commercial ultrasonic echo devices designed for concrete inspection it was possible to detect cracks and objects in salt concrete up to a depth of 2 m. The check for delamination in shotcrete is another field of application. A unique device available at BAM, the wide aperture, deep penetration instrument LAUS, was able to locate cracks and objects up to a depth of 8 m so far, which is thought to be a record for ultrasonic echo measurements in concrete. Adapted imaging procedures, partly adopted from geophysics, helped to reveal 3D structure at depth. In addition, we have developed ultrasonic probes to be deployed in boreholes, currently at up to 20 m depth. They can collect information on cracks and other features in a radius of about 1.5 m around the borehole in the current version and might be used in echo or transmission mode. Evaluation experiments have been performed at an experimental barrier at the ERAM site in Morsleben, Germany. The results showed several empty and injected cracks as well as built-in instrumentation. The results have been verified using borehole endoscopy as well as core examination and will be used to set up a reliable quality assurance system for engineered barriers. All instruments are based on ultrasonic shear wave transducers with a frequency range between 25 kHz and 100 kHz. Current research focuses on the improvement of the hardware (e. g. optimization of array characteristics) and imaging techniques such as Reverse Time Migration, both aiming at the improvement of depth of penetration, resolution and probability of detection.

T1 - Evolution of a friction material with braking sequence: properties related to the microstructure N2 - The microstructural complexity (multi-component and multi-scale) of friction materials, such as those used in braking applications,usually limits the characterization to the pristine state, even when they are to be submitted to high loading brake sequences. The understanding of properties ageing as a function of load history and microstructure is an important step to gain further knowledge on the tribological mechanisms occurring at the contact surface, as well as on the braking performances. To do so, the bulk mechanical and microscopical properties of a semi-metallic friction material are investigated before and after a braking sequence. Uniaxial compression tests combined with DIC are used to study the axial evolution of the mechanical behaviour (i.e., from the contact surface to the backplate). A significant mechanical evolution is observed in the after-braking material, which develops a layered behaviour along the depth. The layers (three) exhibit distinct mechanical/microstructural features that can be related to the braking thermal gradients and the occurrence of local damage.

During this project, a novel salt concrete exhibiting neither significant cracking nor shrinkage will be optimized for use in the sealing systems. The composition of this material will be based on alkali-activated materials, which are characterized by particularly small thermal deformations during the hardening reaction. Quality assurance and continuous monitoring systems developed during this project will be demonstrated not only for high reliability, but also for resistance to highly alkaline environments and to water intrusion along cables or at sensor locations. A variety of sensors will be used in combination with wireless Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to record moisture, temperature, and, if necessary, corrosion activity within the sealing system. Distributed Fibre Optic Sensor (FOS) technology will also be used for strain, temperature, and moisture content measurement. Ultrasound-based measuring methods will be utilized for the detection of cracks and delaminations. Additionally, digital image correlation and acoustic emission analysis will be used for deformation measurements and crack detection. A novel borehole probe and advanced ultrasound imaging techniques will be further developed to track cracks and delaminations within the host rock in 3D. The surface-based Large Aperture Ultrasound System (LAUS) will also be utilized to detect cracks and delaminations deep below the exterior surface of the sealing system. Although the focus of this project will be on the host rock salt, the resulting technologies will be intentionally developed in a way that facilitates their adaptation to other host rocks.

The measurements were carried out on a GE v|tome|x L 300/180 with a reconstructed voxel size of 2 µm. The pores were analyzed for size, shape and spatial distribution. The correlation between compactness C and spatial distribution showed that elongated pores (C < 0.2) appear exclusively within a distance of 80 µm to the sample surface. The reconstructed surface was digitally meshed and unwrapped to evaluate the mean roughness Ra. Since the gravity correlates linearly with the sine of the build angle, the influence of gravity on porosity and surface roughness was determined.

T1 - Überwachung von Stahlbetonbrücken - Ein Modellprojekt N2 - Die Brücken im Netz der Bundesverkehrswege sind überwiegend in einem ausreichenden bis guten Zustand. Allerdings steigt der Unterhalts- und Sanierungsaufwand aufgrund des inzwischen hohen Alters vieler Brücken sowie des ständig wachsenden Schwerlastverkehrs. Techniken zur Einschätzung der verbleibenden Lebensdauer von Brücken sowie zur dauerhaften Beobachtung des Tragverhaltens bzw. des Erfolges von Sanierungsmaßnahmen werden daher für den sicheren und wirtschaftlichen Betrieb dringend benötigt. Zur Evaluierung dafür geeigneter holistischer Ansätze wurde in der BAM das Projekt BLEIB - Bewertung, Lebensdauerprognose und Instandsetzung von Brückenbauwerken - ins Leben gerufen. Ein zentrales Ergebnis des Projektes ist eine extern vorgespannte Stahlbetonbrücke als Zweifeldträger mit einer Gesamtlänge von 24 m, die für den Test verschiedenster Sensorsysteme, zur Validierung numerischer Modelle und zur Erprobung von Sanierungs- und Verstärkungsmaßnahmen entwickelt wurde. Für die Simulation unterschiedlicher Schädigungsgrade kann die Vorspannung der Brücke variiert werden. Die Brücke wird mit beweglichen Gewichten belastet und über einen Shaker zum Schwingen angeregt. Das Brückenmodell wurde bewusst geschädigt, indem die Vorspannung der Struktur erstmalig schrittweise bis auf null reduziert wurde. Unter der Eigenlast verformte sich die Brücke, wodurch eine Rissbildung im Beton einsetzte. Die Zugspannung, die zuvor durch die Vorspannung aufgenommen wurde, übernahm Schritt für Schritt der Beton. Als die Zugspannungen die relativ geringe Zugfestigkeit des Betons überstiegen, begann dieser zu reißen und die schlaffe Bewehrung der Struktur nahm die Spannungen auf. Dieser Versuch wurde unter anderem von Schallemissionsmessungen begleitet. Der Rissbildungsprozess konnte damit, bei gleichzeitiger Aufzeichnung der Vorspannung, früh detektiert und die Risse geortet werden. Die Ergebnisse korrelieren gut mit den Ergebnissen der stereophotogrammetrischen Verformungsmessungen der Struktur. T2 - 22. Kolloquium Schallemission und 3.

In general, miscible polymer blends exhibit a complex dynamic behavior. For an A/B blend the relaxation times of component A and component B are affected by the spatial local compositional heterogeneity, present in binary systems on a microscopic level, regardless of the macroscopic homogeneity. Here, a combination of broadband dielectric and specific heat spectroscopy was employed to study the dynamically asymmetric PVME/PS blend with seven different compositions, focusing on samples with high PS contents. Considering that PS is dielectrically invisible, BDS is a powerful technique to study the response of PVME, as it is affected by PS segments. Here, three separate relaxation processes were found by dielectric investigations, related to confined or constrained PVME segments due to the spatial local compositional heterogeneities, which is in contrary to the previous literature findings [1]. Moreover, the dielectric data was compared with results obtained by specific heat spectroscopy, where a fourth relaxation process was found, due to the cooperative fluctuations of PVME and PS.

The segmental dynamics of RAF is expected to be altered, as compared to the pure matrix, which might percolate to the entire system, affecting the overall nanocomposite properties. A combination of two relaxation spectroscopy techniques (Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopy (BDS) and Temperature Modulated DSC (TMDSC)) as well as Fast Scanning Calorimetry (FSC) was employed to investigate the structure and molecular mobility of nanocomposites based on Epoxy and Layered Doubled Hydroxides with different nanoparticle content. First, BDS investigations proved the existence of a process, which is present only for nanocomposites, assigned to the dynamics of polymer segments within RAF. Second, the amount of RAF was quantified by analyzing the change of specific heat capacity step of nanocomposites, comparing to the pure material. Thirdly, the glass transition of nanocomposites was studied with FSC, applying high heating rates (0.5-10 kK/s). Considering that all techniques probe essentially the same molecular process, an activation plot was constructed, delivering a complete picture of the molecular mobility and structure of the polymer nanocomposites including RAF.
