A1 - Schukar, Marcus T1 - Applications of a POF elongation sensor N2 - The principle of a low-cost but nevertheless powerful POF elongation sensor has already been described in the recent years [1, 2, 3]. The measurement of the phase shift of a signal of a modulated light source which is coupled into two different POF, one being stretched, yields information of the elongation with a resolution of up to 10-5. Analyzing the temporal or frequency behaviour of the signal gives additional information. Since the phase measurement can allow for frequencies up to 2 GHz, the vibrational analysis of macroscopic structures can be extended to several kHz very easily, limited mainly by the signal processing electronics. Thus we processed data of a sensing system applied to a 39 m rotor blade of a wind power generator and could resolve the various frequencies related to different exciting conditions, e.g. the appearance of a beat signal when the blade was externally excited by a mechanical system with a frequency close but not identical to the Eigen frequency of the blade.

The largest part of the collection comes from the Kucha region, a very important cultural center in the third to ninth centuries. Between 1902 and 1914, four German expeditions traveled along the northern Silk Road. During these expeditions, wall paintings were detached from their original settings in Buddhist cave complexes. This paper reports a technical study of a wall painting, existing in eight fragments, from the Buddhist cave no. 40 (Ritterhöhle). Its original painted surface is soot blackened and largely illegible. Grünwedel, leader of the first and third expeditions, described the almost complete destruction of the rediscovered temple complex and evidence of fire damage. The aim of this case study is to identify the materials used for the wall paintings. Furthermore, soot deposits as well as materials from conservation interventions were of interest. Non-invasive analyses were preferred but a limited number of samples were taken to provide more precise information on the painting technique. By employing optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, micro X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and Raman spectroscopy, a layer sequence of earthen render, a ground layer made of gypsum, and a paint layer containing a variety of inorganic pigments were identified.

This leads to significant maintenance and reconstruction costs for concrete infrastructures all over the world. The geographical regions, which play a major role in concrete deterioration, are for example coastal Areas or in general, areas with a high air humidity/salinity due to closeness of rivers or lakes. These exemplary results show, the application of Raman spectroscopy establishes a valuable approach for characterizing the chemical and structural composition of ASR-products. The results prove the potential to trace the kind of reaction products, developing in dependence on the aggregate and to follow up its local alteration from origin of the gel.
