TY - CONF A1 - Erhard, Anton A1 - Goedecke, Thomas A1 - Menrad, Andreas A1 - Bethke, John T1 - Application of nondestructive testing - Methods for packaging examination N2 - Nondestructive testing (NDT) methods are applicable in many ways for defect detection as well as optimization of packaging production processes. The visual inspection method is the technique which is mostly used, although neither the customer nor a skilled inspector may be aware of this. Techniques like ultrasound for wall thickness measurement, the application of x-ray techniques or the use of dye penetrant techniques for crack detection are rather well known to the NDT family. However, acoustic emission techniques can also be helpful for the characterization of packaging materials. In this paper the employment of x-ray computer tomography (CT) for measurement of wall thickness in plastic jerrycans, especially on the edges, and its possible optimization of production processes will be discussed. A comparison of the CT and ultrasonic examinations of wall thickness and the reliability of this measured data are also important points for the discussion, especially if some safety factors can be derived from the results. The leakage test is also good for jerrycans, IBCs or other kinds of drums for the transportation and storage of dangerous goods. The disadvantage of this kind of test is that a lack of quality, e.g. wall thickness deterioration, cannot be detected if the wall thickness withstands the internal pressure. Therefore, especially for Quality assurance, the other, previously mentioned techniques are better for a statistical assessment of a batch. This paper is focused on the comparison of different NDT results with special emphasis on the large range of material mechanical properties.

T1 - Self-ignition of deposits containing recycling materials - an underestimated phenomenon N2 - Fires on waste dumps, surface landfills, Underground stowing or storage facilities of Recycling factories may have multiple harmful effects on individuals on site and on environment. Possibly several tens of thousands of tons flare up plunging vast areas in smoke and releasing large amounts of flue gases. Experience shows that fire fighting takes days or even weeks and moreover, as long as hidden glowing nests exist fires may break out repeatedly weeks or months later. In the light of this, fire prevention is much easier to manage than extinction. It is of internst to identify the geometrical and physical conditions under which the mid-term or long-term storage of recycling materials can be performed avoiding self-ignition. Our Guideline presents a novel method developed at BAM which combines experimental tests on lab-scale with numerical simulations in Order to obtain permissible geometries of deposits and storage times at which self-ignition can be certainly avoided (Berger 2010).

T1 - Use of higher-alloyed metallic materials and duplex steels for transport tanks of dangerous goods N2 - Compatibility evaluations of selected metallic materials under the influence of dangerous goods are published in the BAM-List - Requirements for Tanks for the Transport of Dangerous Goods” as basis for substance-related prototype approvals for tank Containers designed for the carriage of dangerous goods. There is a request of the tank manufacturing industry and transportation Companies to incorporate additional materials into the BAM-List, especially corrosionresistant materials because of the large number of corrosive dangerous goods. One solution to solve corrosion Problems is to line the tank with a polymeric material, an alternative solution is the application of high-alloyed stainless steels and nickel-based alloys as there are alloy 926 (1.4529), alloy 31 (1.4562) and alloy 59 (2.4605). But there is an interest to use cost-efficient steels with high strength values and concomitant adequate corrosion resistance such as duplex Steel 1.4362 too. This Steel grade was originally developed as a substitute for the austenitic grades 1.4404 and 1.4571. Due to the lower content of the alloy elements nickel and molybdenum this duplex steel is a cost-efficient alternative to molybdenum containing austenite. Due to the limited number of corrosion test results with welded test samples of these high-alloyed materials and the duplex steel under the influence of corrosive dangerous goods a comprehensive test Programme was performed with these materials in Cooperation with ThyssenKrupp VDM and Deutsche Edelstahlwerke GmbH. It can be concluded from the test results that the "superaustenitic steels” 1.4529 and 1.4562 as well as the nickel-based alloy 2.4605 are a really good alternative as tank materials for the transport of dangerous goods in comparison to the lining of the tanks. Due to the reduced alloying content, in particular Nickel (3.7 %) and Molybdenum (0.15 %), a lower resistance of the duplex steel 1.4362 compared to the austenitic CrNiMo-steels was observed in acidic media. The duplex Steel is an alternative to the austenitic steels, especially in alkaline media. The test results are included in the current 10th edition of the BAM-List and therefore available for the costumer.

To ensure good indoor air quality contamination by volatile organic compounds (VOC) should be minimised. The aim of the project is the reduction of unsaturated aldehydes which can emit from oriented Strand boards (OSB): These aldehydes have an impact on the health based evaluation of emissions from products for indoor use according to the AgBB (Ausschuss zur gesundheitlichen Bewertung von Bauprodukten, Committee for Health Evaluation of Building Products) scheine (AgBB 2010). The model OSB were produced in a pilot plant using well known raw materials (Pinus sylvestris at different trunk heights) under using various processing parameters (Wilke et al. 2011). OSB emit predominantly monoterpenes and aldehydes. Aldehydes are oxidation products of fatty acids in wood. The conditions which affect the oxidation process are the fatty acid concentration and composition, the oxygen content, the sample surface and the presence of compounds which indicate, inhibit or stop the oxidation respectively. The oxidation rate rises with an increasing number of double bounds in the fatty acid, e.g. the oxidation rate between oleic, linoleic and linolenic acid correspond to 1:12:24. One of the most important products of fatty acid oxidation is hexanal. It is generated during the oxidation of linoleic acid. This study shows a direct correlation between aldehyde emission and oxidation, hexanal can be used as an indicator for oxidation.

So-called tin-mercury mirrors were made by coating glass with tin amalgam. Today, many historical mirrors are partly damaged, the image quality is compromised, and the material integrity of the mirror is threatened. The transformation from tin into an oxide starts at the surface of the amalgam and proceeds down to the glass surface. The mercury dissolves as a liquid or gaseous phase. The amalgam layer is destroyed, so that conservation is necessary. Conservators must follow strict safety precautions while handling amalgam mirrors because of possible mercury emissions and corrosion of the amalgam, during which elemental mercury accumulates near the mirror frame in droplets and is emitted into the air. In a research project, the quantity of the mercury emissions from historical mirrors was examined and a technique to decrease these emissions was developed.

T1 - Results of sensory tests and sensory-limit settings for building materials in Germany N2 - Indoor air pollutants influence the health and comfort of building occupants and consequently the energy consumption of the building. The pollutants are emitted by various sources. Among these sources, building products are of particular importance. To control the emission of pollutants from building materials, a few different voluntary labelling Systems have been introduced in Europe. In Germany also mandatory “Principles for the health assessment of construction products used in interiors” have been applied for the technical approval of floor coverings since 2004. This procedure is based on the assessment scheine of the Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products (AgBBScheme). The sensory-limit settings for building-material label Blue Angel offer consumer to differ not only low-emission but also low-odour Building materials from another building materials.

T1 - Inter-laboratory study approach to validate the performance of a prototype reference material for product emissions testing N2 - Product emissions chamber testing involves a complex protocol with several sources of measurement uncertainty (ASTM, 2010; ISO, 2006). Despite the potential for significant variability in measurement results within and among laboratories, there is no Standard method available to assess the accuracy of emissions chamber test results. Recently, Germany’s Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) started a program to evaluate the performance of laboratories testing for the AgBB (German Committee for Health-related Evaluation of Building Products) labelling scheme (Wilke et al., 2009). Test method validation was conducted through interlaboratory studies (ILS) with over 30 participants. Simultaneously, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Virginia Tech (VT) started a program to develop a series of reference materials that mimic real building products, can be tested in typical emissions chambers, and have independently known emission rates (Cox et al., 2010). BAM, NIST and VT subsequently joined forces to conduct a series of inter-laboratory studies using the prototype reference material. A pilot ILS was conducted with BAM and NIST followed by an expanded ILS with several participating countries. Results from these interlaboratory studies have the potential to define an internationally-accepted Standard approach to validate results from product emissions tests.

T1 - Efficient welding simulation of an automotive sheet metal assembly N2 - Fusion welding is widely used in the automotive industry to join metal structures. It is well-known that distortions and residual stresses occur during and after the welding process. Many procedures exist to decrease these negative heat effects of welding, but are often coupled with highly cost intensive experiments. The implementation of a welding Simulation tool to reduce this very expensive experimental procedures is therefore of high interest. Despite the fact that the automotive industry is a key sector for Simulation procedures, welding Simulation Software is nevertheless not yet widely implemented. This is mainly due to the complexity of the Simulation tools requiring expert users and the resulting high time to Solution. In this study, a new fast thermo-mechanical Simulation of a complex and large laser beam welded automotive sheet metal assembly with several non linear welds is simulated. Assumptions and simplifications of the complex physical welding phenomenon, which are made to keep the computational cost and the complexity of the Simulation in an industrial frame, are discussed. The calibration time of the phenomenological heat source model has been optimized with a very fast analytical thermal model and the resulting simulated temperature fields match perfectly with the measured ones. Additionally, the user experience and the time-to-solution are kept within a reasonable time frame for arr industrial environment. All Simulation results are validated with experimental results.

ForceArc is a new gas metal arc welding technology which allows adequate fusion and penetration with a smaller V groove angle. This enhances welding efficiency significantly because of reduction of layers and low material consumption. The deformation of the weld bead is calculated with an accurate coupling of the heat transfer with fluid flow through continuity, momentum and the energy equations combined with the effect of droplet impingement, gravity, electromagnetic force, buoyancy, drag forces and surface tension force (Marangoni effect). Four different angles of V groove are employed with the same welding parameters and their influence on the weld pool behavior and weld bead geometry is calculated and analyzed, to allow subsequent calculations of residual stress and distortion of the workpiece. Such a simulation is an effective way to study welding processes because the influence of all the welding parameters can be analyzed separately with respect to thermal cycle, weld bead formation, and the microstructure of the weld. Good agreement is shown between the predicted and experimentally determined weld bead dimensions. It was found that with a larger groove angle, the penetration depth increases. Furthermore, a higher wire feeding rate is needed to fill the larger groove. The model presented can be used for further analyses of GMAW processes as well as input data for the numerical calculation of welding induced residual stresses and distortions using Computational Weld Mechanics CWM.

When optimising a mixture, it has to be decided for each individual case, which of the mortar properties needs to be treated with the highest priority. Most properties can be altered by several different measures, which may vary in effectiveness, side effects and cost efficiency. As the prevention of shrinkage induced constraining cracks is crucial for the durability and Service life of a concrete repair task, in the presented paper special attention is paid to the influences on the mortar’s shrinkage behaviour. On the basis of parameter studies it is shown, how it may be beneficial in certain cases to accept the worsening of some general properties if by this measure another property, which is essential for the individual application task, can be enhanced significantly. In general a tailor-made approach for the mixture proportioning seems beneficial but due to the complexity of the constituents’ interactions in repair mortars, it bears a high risk of unexpected malfunctions.

T1 - Simulation of the temperature field in laser beam welding by inverse technique N2 - This paper presents volume heat sources and the corresponding functional analytical Solutions for the transient temperature field. The considered energy distributions are normal, exponential and parabolic. The method follows the common approach in Computational Welding Mechanics (CWM) to account for the physics of the welding process and the resulting temperature field by phenomenological models for heat conduction. Therefore, the used heat source models are apparent heat sources that incorporate the real heat input as well as the fluid flow in the weld pool and the latent heat connected with phase transformations. The heat source models provide welding characteristics like thermal cycle and Fusion line in the cross section within short computational time. Consequently, inverse techniques on basis of optimisation algorithms enable the adaptation of the models to the experimental data efficiently. Furthermore, the direct evaluation of the energy distribution for the experimental fusion line in the cross section is demonstrated which enhances the numerical optimisation by reducing the number of unknown model Parameters and providing a reasonable initial guess within the model parameter space. The proposed temperature field models are validated with real laser beam welding experiments.

During the experiments the pressure in the cylinder and the temperature at different locations within the porous material and on the Shell surface as well as the flame temperature were measured. Overall 8 burst tests were performed, in order to determine the times to explosion for the cylinders. Cylinders failed not later than 15 minutes from the ignition of the bonfire, often with generation of a fireball. During the other 5 tests, the fire was extinguished before the expected burst and the cylinder was cooled with water. In 2 of the 5 extinction experiments, the explosion of the cylinder could be prevented. Noticeably, in one case the on-set of the decomposition of acetylene had already been observed, before the cooling was started. In spite of that, the cooling was still effective. The interpretation of the current results and of the data from previous tests with 40-l-cylinder suggests that single acetylene cylinders involved in fire might be saved by cooling, if their pressure does not exceed a value of about 45 bara. The recorded values of pressure and temperature were used to develop and validate a mathematical model for the prediction of the heat transfer in acetylene cylinders during the exposure to fire and the afterward cooling. The predictions agreed well with the experimental results.

Usually, the geological subsoil and the building ground are the dominant sources for enhanced indoor radon levels. Additionally, building materials can increase indoor radon concentrations when these materials contain higher contents of 226Ra (radium), especially in combination with low air exchange rates. For a realistic estimation of indoor radon concentrations, it is helpful to carry out measurements of radon exhalation rates from relevant materials using emission test chambers. In Germany, it is aspired to limit the total indoor radon concentration to 100 Bq/m3, whereby building materials should contribute at most 20 Bq/m3. Within a project financed by the German Institute for Construction Technology (DIBt), a practical oriented measurement procedure of the radon exhalation of building materials in accordance to ISO 16000-9 was developed to have a means for the assessment of these materials with respect to their indoor use. Test chambers with different volumes were used. The tested materials were mainly used for wall constructions (e.g., bricks, light-weight concrete) and have known specific radium activities and radon exhalation rates.

Today, the only left over iron arch bridge is a pair of two arches Crossing the Spree river in the middle of Berlin. Before dismantling the former parallel two original pairs of iron arches and rebuilding new arches for the high-speed railway line through Berlin in 1997, BAM was involved in an extensive test program of the heritage iron arch structure. Especially the estimation of accumulated damage in critical details and the verification of the old material properties at early stage was important information to the bridge owners. The testing program included two strain and displacement measurement campaigns, non-destructive testing, materials testing and microscale metallographic analysis of critical details. The measured strain cycles were significant lower in number and size than expected. Most of the cycles were compression stress cycles only. The work was planned in Cooperation with the Berlin consultancy Professor Hilbers that was responsible for the design and calculation of the reconstruction measures. Additionally, after calculation of the possible reuse of the old arches, we compared measured data from strain measurements with the results from calculation. The measured data and the calculated data show a good qualitative correlation.

For this reason conservative assumptions are prevalent in practice and in many cases the protective Systems become significantly oversized. Such safety margins in venting areas can lead to a critical acceleration of the pressure rise. Finally, a gas explosion at turbulent conditions caused by oversizing of the venting area rather leads to an under-sized system and supports the deflagration to detonation transition (DDT). The present investigation was focused especially on the influence of certain obstacles as well as the effect of the initial pressures on the explosion venting behavior of methane-air-mixtures and of hydrogen-air-mixtures.

T1 - Comparison of the notched impact strength at -30°C of polyethylene grades with the test performance behavior of packagings for the transport of dangerous goods N2 - The notched impact strength at -30 °C is one of the selected properties, together with the corresponding test method and tolerances, for a comparison of polyethylene grades of one design type in the procedural rule on suitability proof for alternative plastic resins used for packagings and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for the transport of dangerous goods. The marginal drop heights determined with the drop test at -18 °C after pre-storage of the test samples with 55 % nitric acid at 40 °C only partly related to the notched impact strength at -30 °C. The Charpy method is only suitable for classifying the grade in relation to toughness behavior and using this classification for comparison with other grades. Notched impact strength can provide a qualitative indication if the test samples fail under shock forces. Conditioning the design types with 55 % nitric acid for 21 days at 40 °C causes an increase in the marginal drop heights of the design types in drop tests at -18 °C when compared with design types without pre-storage. Post-crosslinking of the grades increases stiffness because of the acidic influence.

T1 - Entwicklung und Verifikation von Materialmodellen und numerischen Methoden zur Vorhersage der Containment Sicherheit beim Bersten von Laufrädern in Abgasturboladern (ATL) N2 - For predicting the Containment safety of turbochargers against failure of rotors at elevated temperatures and dynamic loading the complex deformation and damage behaviour of the respective materials has to be determined by appropriate experiments and on the other Hand the temperature and strain rate dependent data have to be implemented into material models that are able to describe the material behaviour underthese complex loading conditions. In this research project three different casting materials have been investigated. Since most experimental data were determined for the ductile cast iron alloy EN-GJS-400 with nodular graphite, this material was in the focus of numerical calcuiations. Its mechanical behaviour under uniaxial and multiaxial tension as well as under pressure and shear loading has been investigated for a variety of loading rates and temperatures. Since the material behaviour investigated in this project only concerns the Containment but not the rotor of the turbocharger the loading of the whole device was approached by impact loading of a plate with a projectile made of the same material. For the numerical modelling of the Containment safety of turbochargers a material model has been developed with the capability to describe the specific deformation behaviour of casting materials, e.g. different properties under tension and compression as a function of stress triaxiality, temperature and strain rate dependence under large plastic deformations. The material parameters for the model have been determined by numerical modelling of small scale tests under different loading conditions. The modei has been implemented in a commercial finite element code with explicit integration. In the actual Version of the user subroutine the application is limited to solid elements. In this project the material model has been applied to numerical simulations of tests on notched specimens under bending load and above all to the Simulation of penetration Tests under highly dynamic impact loading conditions as well as the Containment fest of a turbocharger. The loading conditions in these tests are comparable to the impact of a broken turbine blade on the Containment of a turbocharger. The main purpose of these tests hence was to prove the prediction capability of the material model. Numerical stability of the user routine could be achieved and the results agreed quite well with the experimental data. N2 - Für die Vorhersage der Containment Sicherheit beim Bersten von Laufrädern in Abgasturboladern müssen zum einen komplexe Verformungs- und Schädigungsvorgänge bei dynamischer Belastung einschließlich ihrer Temperaturabhängigkeit mit geeigneten Versuchen erfasst und gemessen werden, zum anderen müssen diese temperatur- und dehnratenabhängigen Kennwerte in weiterentwickelten Materialmodellen für das Verformungs- und Schädigungsverhalten abgebildet werden. Im Rahmen dieses Vorhabens wurden drei Gusswerkstoffe untersucht. Für den Gusswerkstoff mit Kugelgrafit EN-GJS-400 wurden die weitestgehenden experimentellen Untersuchungen zur Charakterisierung des Materialverhaltens unter ein- und mehrachsigem Zug sowie unter Druck- und Scherbeanspruchung für ein breites Spektrum von Beanspruchungsgeschwindigkeiten und Temperaturen durchgeführt. Die Untersuchungen an den beiden weiteren Werkstoffen erfolgten mit auf der Basis der gewonnen Erkenntnisse optimiertem Aufwand. Der Schwerpunkt der Arbeiten lag dabei im Bereich hoher Beanspruchungsgeschwindigkeiten und höherer Temperaturen sowie deren Kombination. Für die numerische Modellierung der Containment Sicherheit von ATLs wurde ein vorhandenes Materialmodell weiterentwickelt, so dass es in der Lage ist, das Verformungs- und Versagensverhalten von Gusswerkstoffen, wie z.B. den Zug-Druck-Unterschied, in Abhängigkeit von Spannungsmehrachsigkeit, Temperatur und Dehnrate auch für große plastische Deformationen zu beschreiben. Die Modellparameter wurden durch numerische Simulation von Experimenten an Proben bestimmt. Das Modell wurde in ein kommerzielles Finite-Elemente-Programm mit expliziter Integration implementiert und ist in der jetzigen Version auf FE-Modelle mit Volumenelementen beschränkt. Das Materialmodell wurde im Rahmen dieses Vorhabens zunächst zur numerischen Simulation von Experimenten an gekerbten Proben unter Biegebelastung angewendet. In einem zweiten Schritt erfolgte die Verifikation des Bauteilverhaltens durch numerische Simulation der hochdynamischen Beschussversuche. Da in diesem Vorhaben das Materialverhalten jedoch nur für das Containment und nicht auch für den Rotor des ATLs untersucht wurde, hat man für das Projektil und das Bauteil den gleichen Werkstoff verwendet. Die Belastung in diesen Beschussversuchen ist vergleichbar mit dem Aufprall eines Rotorfragments auf das Containment des Abgasturboladers. Abschließend wurde die numerische Simulation eines Containment Tests an einem Abgasturbolader durchgeführt. Die Nachrechnung dieser Experimente ist somit als ein Nachweis der Prognosefähigkeit des Materialmodells anzusehen. Numerische Stabilität der Userroutine konnte erreicht und eine gute Übereinstimmung mit den experimentellen Ergebnissen erzielt werden.

T1 - Lebensdauerabschätzungen für Polypropylen durch Dosis-Wirkungsfunktionen bezüglich Bestrahlungsstärke und Temperatur (ViPQuali-Projekt) N2 - Für Polypropylen unterschiedlicher Stabilisierung wurden in künstlichen Bestrahlungstests sowohl die spektrale Empfindlichkeit als auch die Temperaturabhängigkeit der Rissbildung quantitativ ermittelt. Dafür wurde die Dauer bis zur Rissbildung sowohl bei spektraler Bestrahlung als auch bei Bestrahlung in einem UV-Leuchtstofflampengerät bei verschiedenen Temperaturen bestimmt. Die Temperaturabhängigkeit konnte als Arrhenius-Abhängigkeit beschrieben werden; das Wirkungsspektrum wurde an eine Stufenfunktion angepasst. Anschließend wurde auch noch der Einfluss des Stabilisatorgehalts als Potenzfit parametrisiert. Die Einzelabhängigkeiten wurden zu einer Gesamtfunktion der Wirkungen in Abhängigkeit der Dosis zusammengesetzt, die es ermöglicht die Wirkungen unterschiedlicher Dosiskombinationen abzuschätzen. Zur Validierung der Dosis-Wirkungsfunktionen wurden Freibewitterungsergebnisse aus Phoenix/Arizona herangezogen. Mit der Dosis, die sich aus den Wetterdaten dieser Freibewitterung ergibt, wurden anhand der Dosis-Wirkungs-Funktionen die jeweiligen Lebensdauern errechnet und mit dem experimentell bestimmten Versagen in der Freibewitterung verglichen. Die Arbeiten erfolgten im Rahmen des ViPQuali-Projektes mit dem Ziel der Bestimmung der Materialkenngrößen. T2 - 40.

But due to legal actions this license has not been finally confirmed before 2007. Subsequently, the Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) began scheduling backfitting of the former iron ore mine into a repository. The licensed repository volume is 303,000 m3 based on estimations of expected waste volumes to be disposed off although the mine itself would offer a much larger volume. Once the repository is ready for Operation, waste packages can be disposed, but this is not expected before the end of this decade. Nevertheless, there is already today a great interest in qualified and certified waste conditioning and packaging for disposal requiring Containers, tested, evaluated and certified by BAM and BfS. Key points of the Konrad license concern comprehensive requirements for waste products and Containers. Details are described in BfS reports, which constitute the basic documents for the license. Following the final license confirmation a revision of these documents has been requested in order to include considerations of water poisoning substances. This work is currently done by BfS in Cooperation with the NLWKN of Lower Saxony and the Institute for Safety Technology (ISTec). Concerning the specification for Containers themselves no or only minor changes are expected. T2 - KONTEC 2011 - 10.

To reduce weight, natural aggregates of volcanic origin, such as crushed lava or pumice, were used in construction purposes, for example for the Pyramids during the Mayan period in Mexico or for monumental structures in the Roman Empire. The most famous examples of this first application of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) in Europe are certainly the Colosseum and the Pantheon. The Roman constructors used natural as well as artificial aggregates, such as pumice, crushed lava and crushed brick, to realise lightweight concrete applications in parts of these buildings. Still today, pumice is used in Germany, Italy, Japan and Iceland as aggregate for structural lightweight concrete.

Variations of mixture composition, inert gas content, temperature and filling rate of the ignition autoclave were carried out in order to establish process boundaries for high temperature partial oxidation processes. The tests show that considerably high methane contents are needed to avoid an ignition. Heating-up tests show that ignition is possible at surprisingly low temperatures. This can be attributed to pre-ignition reactions that produce more instable intermediates.

Due to its good durability it is widely used in building envelopes. One major part of the embodied energy in concrete comes from the production of Portland cement that consumes around 3,500 MJ energy per each ton of cement. Globally 2.6 billion tons of Portland cement is produced and the consumption is increasing. Since concrete will be used as main building material also in future construction, it is reasonable to develop concrete building components with lower embodied energy.Using the example of an ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) façade element, it is demonstrated how the embodied energy can be reduced by application of hydrothermal curing.

The laser working range has to be optimized allowing for safe removal of contamination and limitation of damage to the substrate. This paper addresses the influence of paper type and state of degradation on laser working range. Three types of new paper (pure cellulose, bleached pulp paper, rag paper) were degraded and characterized with respect their degree of polymerization. Laser-induced damage thresholds of new and degraded paper were determined using SEM and viscometry. Additionally, artificially soiled model samples were made using two kinds of soiling, namely pulverized charcoal and soot-blackened standard test dust. Cleaning thresholds of soiled paper samples were evaluated. A working range for all combinations of paper and soiling between 0.05 J/cm2 and 0.5 J/cm2 was found for the application of 8-ns laser pulses at 532 nm wavelength.

Jedoch wurde diese Genehmigung anschließend beklagt und konnte erst 2007 in letzter Instanz bestätigt werden. Nachfolgend hat das Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS) mit der Planung und Realisierung zum Umbau des ehemaligen Eisenerzbergwerkes zum Endlager begonnen. Das genehmigte Endlagervolumen beträgt 303.000 m3 und basiert auf Abschätzungen für die zu erwartende Abfallmenge. Das Bergwerk selbst böte ein deutlich größeres Volumen. Mit der Einlagerung von Behältern kann allerdings erst nach Fertigstellung des Endlagers und nach derzeitigem Stand voraussichtlich nicht vor Ende dieses Jahrzehnts gerechnet werden. Gleichwohl besteht bereits heute ein hohes Interesse an der endlagergerechten Konditionierung und Verpackung der für Konrad vorgesehenen radioaktiven Abfälle, wofür nicht zuletzt von der BAM bauartgeprüfte und vom BfS zugelassene Behälter erforderlich sind. Kernpunkte der Endlagergenehmigung sind umfassende Anforderungen an Abfallprodukte und Behälter. Einzelheiten sind in den vom BfS der Genehmigung zu Grunde liegenden Berichten und Endlageranforderungen definiert. Diese enthalten vor allem Anforderungen an die Abfallprodukte und an die zu deren Verpackung erforderlichen Behälter. Mit der Genehmigungserteilung wurde auch eine Überarbeitung dieser Endlageranforderungen und hinsichtlich der Berücksichtigung Wasser gefährdender Stoffe gefordert. Diese Arbeiten werden derzeit vom BfS in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Niedersächsischen Landesbetrieb für Wasserwirtschaft, Küsten- und Naturschutz (NLWKN) und dem Institut für Sicherheitstechnik (ISTec) vorgenommen. Hinsichtlich der Anforderungen an die Endlagerbehälter wird allerdings davon ausgegangen, dass die für die Behälterbauartprüfung wesentlichen abfallprodukt- und behälterspezifischen Anforderungen davon nicht oder nur unwesentlich berührt sein werden.

The transverse failure is dominated by the adhesion between fiber and matrix. Usual strength criteria however do not take into account the adhesive strength explicitly. The determination of the interface strength is performed on the micromechanical scale using single fiber specimens. The fibers are loaded under off-axis loading while the debonding is monitored under a microscope. The stresses acting in the Interface are calculated by finite element analyses. It is found that for off-axial angles up to 35° interfacial debonding is the dominant failure mode while fiber breakage takes place at lower angles. The occurrence of fiber breakage and debonding under off-axis loading shows that the restriction to two potential failure planes - perpendicular or parallel to the fibers - as applied in common failure criteria has to be put in question.

Modifications of building materials by targeted deposition of surface functional agents that make the surface hydro- and/or oleophobic aim to minimize moisture and ion ingress, and thus extend Service life of the cement based structures. Water repellent and easy-to-clean coatings for inorganic Substrates have gained strong attention during the last few years and various formulations based on silicones or alkylpolysiloxanes have been developed. Cementitious building materials are highly complex Systems with many components and changing properties in the course of a building’s Service life. The interactions between the Chemical agents and the cement based materials depend on many factors. The Chemical properties of the material Substrate appear to be the most important but in the context of their influence on the functionality of silanes and/or siloxanes these characteristics have not been well understood yet. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different blended cements on water repellent agents’ performance. Two organosilicon compounds were applied on fresh blended cements containing limestone (L), fly ash (F), slag (S) and trass (T), and investigated in terms of their functionality. The surface properties of functionalized blended cements were studied based on wettability, i.e. contact angle measurements, before and after exposure to artificial and natural weathering. The first results indicate that slag and trass more distinctly affect the water repellent Surface performance after aging.

The results showed that the cleaning efficacy mainly depends on the porosity of the substrate and the type of AGS. Also, higher surface roughness contributed to a lower cleaning efficacy. The results showed also that concrete panels and cement joints in masonry represented the worst case. The color change of all substrate materials compared to concrete was mostly within acceptable limits. Gloss changes were significant for a number of substrates. In particular, several of the wax-treated low-porosity substrates exceeded the threshold value of 10. The limit of water vapor permeability of the AGS prescribed in the TP-AGS might be too high for natural stone substrates. In general, the TP-AGS is useful for the determination of the efficiency factor of anti-graffiti agents on various substrates.

T1 - Constitutive equations for structural steel subjected to fire - some remarks N2 - Although identified on the basis of so-called instationaiy creep-tests the constifrvtive model of Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-2, 2010) - hereinafter refened to as EC3 - represents a non-linear rateindependent relationship between stress and meclianical strain. I.e. the experimentally observed phenomenou of creep at constant stress but linear time varying temperature is described only through the temperature dependence of the material parameters characterizing the EC3 constitutive model. As a consequence some important phenomena cannot properly be described: E.g. creep or relaxation at constant temperature, creep or relaxation at non-monotonic temperature rates or sensitivity of the instationary creep process on the temperatme rate.

T1 - Cleaning of soiled paper model samples using short and ultrashort laser pulses N2 - Paper is one of the most important materials representing and witnessing human culture particularly as a carrier medium for text and image. As soiling hampers the reception of information, paper cleaning techniques are needed. Traditional mechanical and chemical cleaning methods are used by conservator-restorers. In some cases, a classical cleaning procedure of paper objects yields unsatisfactory results or a conventional treatment is even impossible. Especially, fragile paper objects cause problems due to mechanical instabilities. Laser cleaning as a non-contact method might be a way to overcome some of the limitations of classical cleaning techniques. Laser parameters have to be chosen to achieve removal of the soiling without influencing the artwork. Any immediate as well as long-term effects causing an irreversible change of the artwork have to be avoided. At present, most laser applications are found in stone and metal conservation, while laser treatment of complex organic materials like paper is still not fully developed for application in conservators' workshops. This contribution describes recent work of pulsed laser cleaning of soiled model samples. Pure cellulose, rag paper and wood-pulp paper were mechanically soiled with pulverized charcoal in a standardized procedure to make model samples representing essential characteristics of contaminated real-world artworks. Afterwards, model samples were cleaned using short and ultrashort laser pulses in the nanosecond and femtosecond time domain, respectively. An extensive analysis of the model samples after laser treatment using an optical microscope and a multi-spectral imaging system allows a comparison of the cleaning results obtained with both laser sources.

In general, the cask is equipped with impact limiters to reduce the dynamic load on the cask body by absorbing a major part of the kinetic energy. The impact limiters are often made of wood or aluminium. In this study an elastic-plastic material model with volume change was used to describe the stress-strain behaviour of wood found in crush tests. For aluminium, an elastic-incremental plastic material model with Cowper-Symonds parameters for strain rate depending material hardening was used to model the adiabatic stress-strain relations measured at specimens at constant ambient temperature. Hereafter simulations with a sophisticated finite element model were carried out and compared with different drop tests. Four drop tests of a half-scale cask model equipped with wood and aluminium impact limiters with different drop positions were selected to investigate the impact limiter behaviour during a 9 meter drop test. All drop tests were simulated with the same FE mesh but under different boundary and initial conditions.

T1 - On the utilization of monitoring data in an ultimate limit state reliability analysis N2 - This paper describes a structural reliability analysis utilizing monitoring data in the ultimate limit state with consideration of the uncertainties of the monitoring procedure. For this purpose the uncertainties of the monitoring data are modeled utilizing a new framework for the determination of measurement uncertainties. The approach is based on a process equation and Statistical models of observations for the derivation of a posterior measurement uncertainty by Bayesian updating. This facilitates the quantification of a measurement uncertainty using all available data of the measurement process. For the reliability analysis in the ultimate limit state, monitoring data can be utilized as a loading model Information and as proof loading, i.e. resistance model Information. Both approaches are discussed with generic examples and it is shown that the modeling of monitoring data in a reliability analysis can result in a reduction of uncertainties and as a consequence in the reduction of the probability of failure. Furthermore, the proof loading concept is developed further to account for the uncertain characteristic of proof loading due to the measurement uncertainties which is consistent with the framework for the determination of measurement uncertainties. These approaches and findings can be utilized for the assessment of structures for life cycle extension and the design of monitoring Systems.

T1 - Results from monitoring and assessment of offshore wind turbines N2 - To ensure a high operational reliability of offshore wind turbines (OWEC) with economically acceptable repair and maintenance efforts, comprehensive diagnosis and supervision concepts are required. Automatic monitoring Systems will be an essential part of such concepts. Because of the fact, that during Operation there will be static and dynamic interaction between the components ‘structure’, ‘machinery’ and ‘blades’ it is necessary to develop the monitoring techniques in an overall concept. These monitoring Systems are supposed to be applied for the design and testing as well as for the Operation and maintenance phases. The knowledge of the dynamic behavior of wind turbines is important both for the design and for a safe Operation. The available monitoring data from a period of three years, allow first conclusions on the long-term Operation of such Systems in terms of quality requirements to the instrumentation to the structure and the rotor blades T2 - EURODYN 2011 - 8th International conference on structural dynamics CY - Leuven, Belgium DA - 04.07.2011 KW - Integrated monitoring system KW - Offshore wind turbines KW - Structural assessment KW - Limit values KW - Measurement hardware KW - Data management KW - Embedded FBG sensors KW - Data analysis KW - Damage detection KW - Rotor blades PY - 2011 SN - 978-90-760-1931-4 IS - MS25 SP - 3450 EP - 3456 AN - OPUS4-24293 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Plarre, Rüdiger ED - Robinson, W.H.

T1 - Wood protection by interfering with insect behavior: adequacy of laboratory test designs N2 - Standardized test methods by which the efficacies of conventional Chemical wood preservatives against insects determine their toxic effects against larvae of wood boring beetles or their feeding prevention by termites. Although alternative control strategies to the application of biocides exist, such as interference with insect behavior during mating or when searching for suitable breeding and feeding sites, their acceptance, too, depends on efficacy evaluation. This is why new test set ups are needed which take behavior modifying control strategies into account. This paper will demonstrate how new laboratory tests must be designed or how existing Standards can be altered to reliably interpret insect behavior including its successful manipulation in a standardized format.

Among their well-known use as temperature and strain sensors, there are some more opportunities of use, e. g. they can intimately be embedded in polymeric insulations of HV cable terminations and joints to detect and monitor partial discharges right at the location of their origin. Two FOS types for early PD detection were investigated: an embeddable fibre-optic acoustic sensor to measure acoustlc waves in polymeric insulations generated by PDs, and a fluorescent optical fibre to detect first optical effects during ionization processes in the insulation material. The paper descrlbes these methods, related monitoring Problems and shows first test results.

T1 - FOS standards and testing methods to validate fibre optic strain measurements N2 - Fiber optic sensors are increasingly used because of their outstanding performance or if special requirements avoid the application of conventional electrical sensors. The scientific background for optical fiber sensors is well developed; however, the characteristic of sensors applied in rather harsh environment are almost always different from characteristics determined in laboratory or before its installation. In order to achieve long-term stable function and reliable measurement data after application and under harsh environmental conditions, guidelines for characterization and specification of sensor components are needed as well as methodologies for testing the sensor performance must be developed. Performance tests carried out revealed that there are still some restrictions with respect to long-term reliable use: first, some sensor products available on the market are not very often appropriately characterized, described and validated; second, application procedures are not always defined due to a lack of understanding the micromechanical issues in the interface zone between sensor and measuring object. Application procedures and profound knowledge of materials behaviour are necessary to get results from the sensor that can be reliably used. The paper describes first guidelines to prove the quality of fiber optic strain sensors, a testing facility developed for unbiased tests and certification of surface-applied sensors as well as result from comparison of commercially available strain sensors.
