A possible solution could be the deployment of in-situ monitoring during the build process. However, for laser powder bed fusion using metal powders (PBF-LB/M ) only a few in-situ monitoring techniques are commercially available (optical tomography, melt pool monitoring) but not researched to an extent that allows to guarantee the adherence to strict quality and safety standards. In this contribution, we present results of a study of PBF-LB/M printed parts made of the nickel-based superalloy Haynes 282. The formation of defects was provoked by local variations of the process parameters and monitored by thermography, optical tomography and melt pool monitoring. Afterwards, the defects were characterized by computed tomography (CT) to identify the detection limits of the used in-situ techniques.

In the current safety regulations for hydrogen pressure vessels, there is no established concept for structural health monitoring. The development of a reliable structural health monitoring methodology for monitoring the structural integrity of pressure vessels enables a fast-forward transition from personnel- and costintensive recurring inspections, a.k.a. periodic maintenance, to predictive maintenance. In the work presented; we investigated the application of ultrasonic guided wave propagation to monitor and assess the condition of Type IV composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV). A sensor network of fifteen piezo-electric wafers is placed on the carbon fibre reinforced composite cylinder. Five different artificial damage configurations are created by gluing two different weight blocks on three different locations. The database containing measured guided wave data sets is enriched by two different boundary conditions. We utilized an open-source software, openBIS labnotebook, to store and analyse experimental datasets. The guided wave ultrasonic signals were investigated and analysed by using commonly used ultrasonic features (e.g., amplitude, frequency, time of flight) as well as non-traditional time-series features (kurtosis, skewness, variance). The features were used to calculate damage index and the detection performance for the results has been evaluated. The results suggest that both traditional and non-traditional features assume significant importance in artificial damage detection. The future works will additionally involve the impacts of operational conditions, such as periodic pressure variations temperature loadings as well as material degradations.

This is due to the diffusive nature of thermal conduction in solids. So-called super resolution approaches have recently allowed this physical limit to be overcome many times over. This offers the attractive possibility of developing thermography from a purely near surface-sensitive testing method to one with improved depth range. How far this development can be pushed is the subject of current research. We have already been able to show that this classical limitation for one- and two-dimensional defect geometries can be overcome by illuminating the test object sequentially in a structured manner with individual laser spots and thus subsequently calculating a defect map from the resulting measurement data by applying photothermal super resolution reconstruction, which allows significantly improved separation of individual closely spaced defects. As a result, this method benefits strongly from the combination of sequential spatially structured illumination and modern numerical optimization methods, which come at the expense of higher experimental complexity. This leads to long measurement times, large data sets, and tedious numerical analysis, in contrast to the application of established standard thermographic methods with homogeneous illumination. In this work, we report on the application of full-area spatially structured two-dimensional illumination patterns, which, by applying state-of-the-art laser projector technology in conjunction with a high-power laser, makes it possible to achieve an efficient implementation of photothermal super-resolution reconstruction even for larger test areas in the first place.

HF have been widely implicated in major occurrences of technical failure, for example at North Anna Power Plant and on United Airlines Flight 232. Understanding HF is vital for reliable detection and prevention of failures. Reliability assessments, though known to be affected by intrinsic capability, application factors, and HF, have thus far only concentrated to a sufficient degree on intrinsic capability. The addition of HF to that assessment has proven difficult due to the lack of a method of quantifying HF. This paper presents the first attempt from a psychological perspective to quantify HF from qualitative data. HF data was derived from qualitative human-oriented Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (Human-FMEA) workshops for visual inspection of tunnels by laser scanning and for ultrasonic testing of welds. Data was collected on human failure modes, causes, consequences and preventive measures, as well as eliciting a risk priority number (RPN). Using this data, a system of quantitative weightings was created to allocate errors to inductively derived HF categories for further allocation to existing HF categorisation models. This weighting model proved useful for creating quantitative summaries of HF, informing and validating qualitative FMEA results, and comparing existing HF categorisation models. Further potential lies within a planned interface to quantitative reliability assessment methods such as POD (Probability of Detection). While providing quantifications, the method retains a qualitative and holistic nature, can, thus, bridge the gap between psychological and engineering concerns of HF and reliability, contributing to future interdisciplinary work.

We use modern high-power laser projector technology to repeatedly excite the sample surface photothermally with varying spatially structured 2D pixel patterns. In the subsequent (blind) numerical reconstruction, multiple measurements are combined by exploiting the joint-sparse nature of the defects within the specimen using nonlinear convex optimization methods. As a result, a 2D-sparse defect/inhomogeneity map can be obtained. Using such spatially structured heating combined with compressed sensing and computational imaging methods allows to significantly reduce the experimental complexity and to study larger test surfaces as compared to the one-dimensional approach reported earlier.

Basically, this requires a focused heat source (high-power laser), a thermographic camera and a relative movement between laser and test object, as well as a suitable evaluation algorithm to distinguish between surface defects and defect-free areas. In this paper we report on a method in which the relative motion is realised by a robot to fully inspect large and non-planar test objects such as rail sections, turbine blades, gears, etc. We show the influence of the excitation laser, which can be varied in terms of spot geometry, wavelength, and scan scheme, and we demonstrate our evaluation algorithms with the aim of automatically detecting surface defects.

T1 - Damage Assessment of Civil Structures Using Wave Propagation Analysis and Transmissibility Functions N2 - A common damage detection method in civil engineering is to monitor dynamic characteristics such as natural frequencies and modal shapes, which are directly related to the structural stiffness. However, the discrepancy in measured natural frequencies may result from environmental changes, the soil-structure interaction or effects caused by earthquakes. This makes it difficult to decide whether the local change in structural properties is caused by damage or other factors. To address this challenge and thus improve the current damage detection method, the wave propagation analysis method and the transmissibility relationship were considered. In our study, the wave propagation field in structures was reconstructed by applying the Normalized-Input-Output-Minimization (NIOM) method to vibration recordings. Wave velocities and transmissibility functions were considered as reference values for the damage indicators. This paper demonstrates the evaluation of local property changes in two examples of large-scale structures: a 14-story RC building and a 64 m long pedestrian bridge. The proposed damage indicators show a clear correspondence to structural changes.

The growing diversity of construction and demolition waste is leading to increasing difficulties in separating the individual materials. Manual sorting involves many risks and dangers for the executing staff and is merely based on obvious, visually detectable differences for separation. An automated, sensor-based sorting of these building materials could complement or replace this practice to improve processing speed, recycling rates, sorting quality, and prevailing health conditions. A joint project of partners from industry and research institutions approaches this task by investigating and testing the combination of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and visual (VIS)/ near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy.

T1 - Characterizing the thermal diffusivity of single, micrometer-sized fibers via high-resolution lock-in thermography N2 - Many advanced materials consist of fibers. They are used as nonwovens, fabrics, or in composite materials. Characterization of individual fibers allows us to predict resulting material properties. We present a measurement setup and analysis software to characterize individual, micrometer-sized fibers fast and reliably. The setup is based on the lock-in thermography principle. Thermal diffusivity values of seven reference samples agree very well with previously reported values. We use our setup to investigate critical measurement parameters like excitation frequency, excitation power, pixel size, and fiber orientation. Our results show that fibers with subpixel diameters can be measured even if they are not aligned. However, special care has to be taken to choose an adequate excitation power. Measurements at high intensities can underestimate thermal diffusivity even though the raw data looks reasonable. By automatically measuring at different excitation powers, our setup solves this issue.

Hierbei werden Oberflächenfehler wie Risse mit ferromagnetischem Pulver sichtbar gemacht, wodurch eine qualitative Bewertung des Bauteils ermöglicht wird. Allerdings können die Anzeigen kaum zu einer quantitativen Bewertung herangezogen werden. Hierfür sind Magnetfeldsensoren nötig, die die Stärke der Streufelder messen, wodurch z. B. die Tiefe der Risse abgeschätzt werden kann. Bei kommerziellen Magnetfeldsensoren sind die sensitiven Elemente auf Platinen angebracht bzw. in eine Verkapselung integriert. Hierdurch erhöht sich der Abstand der Elemente zur Oberfläche und kleine Fehler können unter Umständen nicht mehr detektiert werden. Auch wird eine automatisierte Prüfung komplexer Geometrien durch die starren Sonden erschwert. Um Streufelder von kleinen Fehlern in komplexen Bauteilen quantitativ bewerten zu können, validiert die BAM den Einsatz neuartiger, flexibler Magnetfeldsensoren. Hierbei sind die sensitiven Elemente auf flexiblen Folien aufgebracht und lassen sich verformen, wodurch sie auf viele mögliche Oberflächenformen appliziert werden können. Es wird ein geringerer Abstand der Elemente zur Oberfläche erreicht und Streufelder von kleinen Defekten können besser aufgelöst werden. Zudem verlieren die Sensoren durch Verformung weder ihre Sensitivität noch werden sie hierdurch zerstört. Dies macht diese Sensoren zu perfekten Kandidaten für die quantitative Bewertung von Rissstreufeldern in komplex geformten, ferromagnetischen Bauteilen. Der Beitrag präsentiert die Charakterisierung der Sensoren sowie erste Versuche an komplexen Bauteilen. Schließlich wird eine Einschätzung hinsichtlich weiterer Anwendungsmöglichkeiten gegeben.

In this presentation, the applicability of eddy current inspection using GMR sensors for online inspection of PBF-LB/M parts is demonstrated. Eddy current testing is performed for each layer during the production process at frequencies uo to 1.2 MHz. Despite the use of high-resolution arrays with 128 elements, the testing time is kept low by an adapted hardware. Thus, the measurement can be performed during the manufacturing process without significantly slowing down the production process. In addition to the approach, the results of an online eddy current test of a step-shaped test specimen made of Haynes282 are presented.

T1 - The RASEM System: A Technical Overview N2 - Occupational health is an important topic, especially in industry, where workers are exposed to airborne by-products (e.g., dust particles and gases). Therefore, continuous monitoring of the air quality in industrial environments is crucial to meet safety standards. For practical and economic reasons, high-quality, costly measurements are currently only carried out sparsely, both in time and space, i.e., measurement data are collected in single day campaigns at selected locations only. The project “Robot-assisted Environmental Monitoring for Air Quality Assessment in Industrial Scenarios” (RASEM) addresses this issue by bringing together the benefits of both – low- and high-cost – measuring technologies enabling cost-efficient long-term air quality monitoring in realtime: A stationary network of low-cost sensors that is augmented by mobile units carrying high-quality sensors. By mapping the distribution of gases and particles in industrial environments with the proposed RASEM system, measures can be identified to improve on-site working conditions much faster than using traditional methods. In this presentation, we detail the technical aspects of RASEM and introduce the mobile platforms used.

T1 - 3D simulations of ultrasonic waves in plates using the scaled boundary finite element method and high-order transition elements N2 - It can be difficult to efficiently model ultrasonic waves in 3D structures, especially when the computational model needs to account for complex geometries. This contribution presents a solution based on the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM). It is a numerical tool suitable for elastodynamic problems. A space-tree discretisation, namely quad-trees, is used. This technique allows the decomposition of an image into quadrilaterals or quads, which are extruded to generate the 3D plate geometry. In particular, small quads resolve regions with discontinuities, allowing them to represent fine details in the structure. Moreover, this meshing technique allows for exploiting cell similarities, making the calculation procedure more efficient. The space-tree discretisations are generated from a high-resolution image containing all the information about damaged regions or boundary conditions. The resulting SBFEM polyhedral domains employ transition elements to ensure correct coupling between cells of different sizes. The analytical solution of a cylindrical scatterer serves as a reference to validate the proposed approach. Other examples also demonstrate the validity of the methodology and its flexibility.

The approach is based on the application of modern high-power laser projector technology, which is used to repeatedly project varying spatially structured 2D pixel patterns to photothermally heat the object under test. After processing the generated thermographic data using nonlinear convex optimisation in conjunction with exploiting the joint-sparse nature of the defect signals within the individual measurements, a high-resolution 2D-sparse defect/inhomogeneity map is obtained. The main focus of the investigation is set on the influence of the number of individual measurements on the achievable reconstruction quality. Using numerical simulations based on an analytical representation of the forward solution to the underlying inverse problem, the convergence rate over performed measurements of the achievable reconstruction quality is determined. Finally, all findings are experimentally validated by reconstructing a set of internal defects in an additively manufactured sample. In this work, it is shown that for a variety of different defect separation distances, the projection of 50 different pixel patterns allows for a good trade-off between experimental complexity and reconstruction quality.

T1 - Detection of internal defects applying photothermal super resolution reconstruction utilizing two-dimensional high-power random pixel patterns N2 - In this work, we report on our progress for investigating a new experimental approach for thermographic detection of internal defects by performing 2D photothermal super resolution reconstruction. We use modern high-power laser projector technology to repeatedly excite the sample surface photothermally with varying spatially structured 2D pixel patterns. In the subsequent (blind) numerical reconstruction, multiple measurements are combined by exploiting the joint-sparse nature of the defects within the specimen using nonlinear convex optimization methods. As a result, a 2D-sparse defect/inhomogeneity map can be obtained. Using such spatially structured heating combined with compressed sensing and computational imaging methods allows to significantly reduce the experimental complexity and to study larger test surfaces as compared to the one-dimensional approach reported earlier.

Studies have shown that there is always some variability between individuals in their inspection results and that HF affect the reliability of NDT inspections. The aim of the ongoing WIPANO project is to draft a standard for a holistic reliability assessment, with concrete inspection as one case study. This includes also the HF. A human-oriented Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was carried out to do the following: a) identify possible human-related risks in tunnel inspection processes using a laser scan method (including data collection,evaluation, and assessment of tunnel damage) and b) evaluate these human-related risks as regards their possible causes, consequences and probability of occurrence – in addition with respect to existing and possible preventive measures. The results show that the causes for possible failures can lie within people, the physical environment, technology, organisation, and extra-organisational environment. Whereas current preventive measures rely mostly on the individual and quality management practices, there is potential for even larger improvement at the organisational and extra-organisational level. The FMEA results were also used to develop a quantification method to further understand the HF in tunnel inspection, which could possibly be included in the information into the overall reliability assessment. The usage of qualitative and quantitative data collected through the human-FMEA within the proposed quantification method shows promise that HF can be quantified and could offer broader understanding of HF influences on inspection in various industries.

T1 - Influence of illuminance on indication detectability during visual testing N2 - Visually detecting irregularities on components is a complex process, influenced by physical, technical, and human factors. Current standards mainly focus on illuminance, demanding highest accuracy for it, without providing scientific justification. In this research, 63 inspectors visually inspected forgings, with and without crack-like indications. The influence of illuminance on probability of detection was investigated. Therefore, illuminance was varied in three steps (200 lx, 350 lx, 500 lx). Human factors (e.g., experience, motivation) were recorded by using questionnaires. The results show no significant difference in probability of detection between the three illuminance levels. Equal probability of detection rates could be achieved at illuminances below and at the required threshold (500 lx). A difference in illuminance was found between the measurement point and the test area of the respective participant. This leads to higher assumed illuminance than present on the component. Compared with the measurement accuracy of the used illuminance meter, none of these deviations could be used to explain the similar results at different illuminance. The fact that illuminance has a significant influence in detecting indications has been disproven for this case. Whether human factors can provide explanation for the results remains unclear. This will be investigated in further research.

N2 - Menschliche Faktoren sind ein häufig genanntes Thema, wenn wir über die Zuverlässigkeit der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung (ZfP) sprechen. Die Probability of Detection (POD), das üblicherweise verwendete Maß für die Zuverlässigkeit der ZfP, betrachtet jedoch nur die technische Fähigkeit eines ZfP-Systems, einen Fehler zu entdecken. Nach mehreren Jahrzehnten der Erforschung des Einflusses der menschlichen Faktoren auf die Zuverlässigkeit der ZfP gibt es immer noch keinen allgemein akzeptierten Ansatz, um menschliche Faktoren in der Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung sichtbar zu machen. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über verschiedene verfügbare Methoden zur Einbeziehung menschlicher Faktoren in die Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung. Das Thema ist ein essenzieller Bestandteil des laufenden WIPANO-Projekts "normPOD", das sich als Ziel gesetzt hat, die Standardisierung der Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung in Deutschland voranzutreiben und im Vergleich zu den schon bekannten internationalen Normen einen Fokus auf den Umgang mit den menschlichen Faktoren zu legen.

T1 - Der Unterschied zwischen Simulation und Praxis – Einfluss von Toleranzen im Ultraschallprüfsystem und deren Berücksichtigung N2 - Bei der simulationsunterstützten Planung kritischer Ultraschallprüfaufgaben ist die detaillierte Kenntnis der Parameter der eingesetzten Prüfköpfe von entscheidender Bedeutung. Durch die, in den Regelwerken (DIN EN ISO 22232-2) zugelassenen Toleranzen bei der Herstellung der Prüfköpfe sind einige Prüfkopfparameter nur ungefähr bekannt. Durch die Alterung von Prüfköpfen und Verschleiß können auch Parameter variieren, die nicht vollständig durch die erforderliche Justierung ausgeglichen werden können. Daher sind zusätzlichen Vorversuche oft unvermeidlich. In dieser Arbeit wurden nach einer statistischen Versuchsplanung (DoE) Untersuchungen zur relativen Echo-Empfindlichkeit von konventionellen Prüfköpfen durchgeführt. Die Auswertung wurde für prüfkopfbezogene und personenbezogene Stichproben durchgeführt. Es wird gezeigt, wie weit die Daten um den Zentralwert herum verteilt sind bzw. wie sehr sich das Testobjekt im untersuchten Merkmal unterscheidet. Gerade in Hinblick auf die Beurteilung der intrinsischen Fähigkeit von Prüfverfahren und der Human Factors wird das POD-Analysekonzept zur quantitativen Bewertung der Zuverlässigkeit weiterentwickelt. Die HF-Quantifizierung bezieht sich auf verschiedene Faktoren und Methoden, die in der Veröffentlichung von M. Bertovic et al. [1] ausführlich beschrieben wurden. Die Schritte, die für das Bewertungsverfahren zur POD-Analyse erforderlich sind, werden in der Veröffentlichung von D. Kanzler et al. [2] detailliert dargestellt. Die grundlegenden Anforderungen an die Testkörpersätze für die POD-Analyse wurden in der Publikation von A. Jüngert et al. [3] zusammengefasst. Diesbezüglich wurden mit Hilfe von Simulationsrechnungen die möglichen Abweichungen an Beispielen der im Projekt norm- POD ausgewählten Prüfanordnungen dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse wurden Messungen an Testkörpern gegenübergestellt.

Konzeption und Herstellung von Testkörpersätzen und Prüfvorschriften für die experimentelle Zuverlässigkeitsbestimmung von ZfP-Prüfansätzen N2 - Im Rahmen des WIPANO Vorhabens „normPOD“ wird eine Richtlinie zur experimentellen und simulationsgestützten Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung erstellt. In der Richtlinie wird die Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung beispielhaft für zwei praktische Anwendungsfälle vorgestellt. Ein Anwendungsfall beschäftigt sich mit konventionellen Ultraschallprüfungen an ferritischen Stählen und deren Schweißnähten. Zur Berechnung von Probability-Of-Detection (POD)-Kurven ist es notwendig, dass ein geeigneter Testkörpersatz zur Verfügung steht, der sowohl leicht zu findende Fehlstellen als auch Fehlstellen, die an der Grenze der Detektierbarkeit liegen, enthält. Im Vorhaben kommen verschiedene Testkörper zum Einsatz, die entweder Ersatzfehler wie Nuten und Bohrungen oder künstlich eingebrachte realistische Fehlstellen wie Risse und Schweißfehler enthalten. Zur Erstellung eines möglichst allgemeinen Leitfadens zur Testkörperherstellung für die Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung werden verschiedene Möglichkeiten betrachtet. Es wird ein Testkörpersatz mit Ersatzfehlern hergestellt und durch Testkörper mit realistischen Fehlstellen ergänzt. Mit Hilfe von Simulationen mit CIVA sollen die optimalen Konfigurationen und Anordnung von realistischen Fehlstellen und Ersatzfehlern identifiziert, und anschließend mithilfe geeigneter Fertigungsverfahren eingebracht und validiert werden. Neben den Testkörpern, die gezielt für das Vorhaben hergestellt werden, kommen außerdem kommerziell erhältliche Testkörpersätze mit realistischen Fehlstellen zum Einsatz. Die Prüfaussage einer Ultraschallprüfung hängt weiterhin wesentlich von den Informationen ab, die dem Prüfpersonal vor Ort zur Verfügung steht. Es muss ein ausgewogenes Maß zwischen zu wenig und zu viel Informationen gefunden werden. Im letzten Schritt wird deshalb eine geeignete Vorlage für eine Prüfanweisung erstellt, die so formuliert ist, dass die Wahrscheinlichkeit menschlicher Fehler (z. B. Missverständnis, Fehlinterpretation, Überspringen von Schritten usw.) möglichst gering ist.

Dennoch gibt es weiterhin viele Vorbehalte, da die Bewertungsgrundlage nicht standardisiert ist und konkrete Handlungsanweisungen fehlen. Dem gegenüber steht die Anerkennung in der ZfP-Community. Es ist bisher nur Wenigen bekannt, dass dem Wissen über die Zuverlässigkeit eines zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren eineSchlüsselfunktion für die ZfP 4.0 zukommt. Im Vortrag wird die Notwendigkeit für eine Norm oder eine Richtlinie zum Thema Zuverlässigkeitsbewertungen aufgezeigt.

Es werden konkrete Schritte und Vorgehensweisen zur Bewertung der Zuverlässigkeit eines Verfahrens aufgezeigt; von der Definition eines Anwendungsfalls, über die Herstellung geeigneter Testkörper bis hin zur Durchführung und Bewertung von Prüfungen unter Einbeziehung von menschlichen Einflüssen. Die Beispiele umfassen sowohl Anwendungen aus dem Bauwesen als auch aus dem Maschinen- und Anlagenbau.

For this purpose, a vector network analyzer used in the I-OFDR is replaced by a compact and cost-effective digital data acquisition system.

The photothermal approach offers a possibility to realize a real onsite measurement. This contribution presents the application of the photothermal approach under lab conditions on three different concrete types. The obtained results were compared with those of a commercial device based on the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method. Both agreed well within the estimated uncertainty ranges and therefore demonstrate the applicability of the photothermal method for this kind of investigations. First results of a concrete sample with different water contents support the potential of this method for the characterization of concrete in general.

Bei der genauen Modellierung eines kompletten thermografischen Experiments sieht sich der Modellierer einer ganzen Reihe von technischen und physikalischen Parametern gegenüber, die nicht immer bekannt sind und daher geschätzt werden müssen. Im konkreten Fall wurde ein relativ einfaches Experiment mit einfachen Geometrien betrachtet: ein durch Additive Manufacturing gefertigter Metallblock wurde mit einem Laserpuls homogen erwärmt. Aus dem Zeitverlauf der Oberflächentemperatur an der nicht erwärmten Rückseite des gleichmäßig dicken Blocks sollte die thermische Diffusivität des Volumenmaterials ermittelt werden. Bei dem Versuch, die experimentellen Daten durch eine passende Simulation zu beschreiben, ergab sich zunächst eine deutliche Abweichung: die gemessenen Temperaturen waren generell zu niedrig, was auf einen zusätzlichen Wärmeverlustmechanismus hinwies. Es erwies sich, dass die freie Auflage des Materialblocks auf einem flachen Bolzen zur Probenfixierung bei der Simulation des Experiments zu berücksichtigen ist, um eine gute Übereinstimmung zwischen Experiment und thermischer Simulation zu erzielen. Der Beitrag illustriert damit die Möglichkeiten und Potentiale von FEM-Simulationen bei der quantitativen Bewertung von thermografischen Inspektionen zur zerstörungsfreien Prüfung.

Since there is a hazard of vertical impact within the distribution system, drop tests are performed as design type tests to assess the package’s ability to withstand damage. However, there is little information in this context regarding the mechanical response of a filled fibreboard box. This work aims to propose a concept utilizing experimental drop test results by means of finite-element (FE) analyses in order to predict the damage resistance of complete, filled corrugated fibreboard boxes which are ready for transportation.

T1 - Detection of Delaminations in Concrete Plates Using a Laser Ablation Impact Echo Technique N2 - This study investigates the non-destructive detection of delaminations in concrete plates using non-contact laser ablation, instead of the conventional hammer excitation, as part of the impact echo method. We performed tests on five concrete specimens of different sizes, two of which contained artificial delaminations. A range of steel ball hammers was used as reference impulse sources, the responses of which were compared with wave excitation generated by a 7 ns pulsed 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser with 150 mJ pulse energy. Signals were recorded by surface-mounted accelerometers and two contactless methods: microphones and a laser Doppler vibrometer. The laser generates frequencies across a broad range of frequencies (0 to 150 kHz) but with much less energy than the hammers' narrower frequency spectra; the laser pulse energy transferred into the specimen is 0.07 mJ, corresponding to about 0.5 ‰ of the impulse source energy. Because of this, the thick intact plates' characteristic thickness stretch resonance frequency can be reliably detected by the hammer excitations but not when using laser excitation. However, the laser can excite low-frequency flexural vibration modes over a shallow delamination at 3 cm depth. The low-frequency flexural vibration results are verified by numerical natural frequency analysis.

The use of the geometric phase to extract strain makes it immune to polarisation diversity fading. This is because a polarisation mismatch between the interfering beams is not a hindrance to its measurement. The geometric phase is calculated using the amplitude of the beat signal and individual beam intensities without any need for phase unwrapping. It is measured per beat period and can be equated with the traditionally measured dynamic phase with appropriate scaling. The results show that the system based on the geometric phase successfully measures strain, free from polarisation mismatch fading and phase unwrapping errors, providing a completely novel solution to these problems.

In principle, the measurement of all elements of the periodic table is possible. System calibrations allow the quantification of element concentrations. In combination with scanner systems, the two-dimensional element distribution can be determined. Even rough surfaces can be measured by online adjustment of the laser focus. To detect element ingress into the concrete, typically cores are taken, cut in half, and LIBS measurements are performed on the cross-section. The high spatial resolution as well as the simultaneous multi-element analysis enables a separate evaluation of the binder-matrix and aggregates. Therefore, the element concentrations can be determined directly related to the cement paste. LIBS measurements are applicable in the laboratory, on-site and also over a distance of several meters. Common applications include the investigation of material deterioration due to the ingress of harmful ions and their interaction in porous building materials. LIBS is able to provide precise input parameters for simulation and modelling of the remaining lifetime of a structure. Besides the identification of materials, also their composition can be determined on hardened concrete, such as the type of cement or type of aggregate. This also involves the identification of environmentally hazardous elements contained in concrete. Another possible application is the detection of the composition of material flows during dismantling. Non-contact NDT for “difficult to assess” structures as an example application through safety glass or in combination with robotics and automation are also possible.

Generally, the measurement of all elements of the periodic table is possible. In particular, light elements such as H, Li, Be, S, C, O, N and halogens can be measured. Calibration with matrix-matching standards allows the quantification of element concentrations. In combination with scanner systems, the two-dimensional element distribution can be determined.

Common applications include the investigation of material deterioration due to the ingress of harmful ions and their interaction in porous building materials. Due to the high spatial resolution of LIBS and the consideration of the heterogeneity of concrete, the determination of precise input parameters for simulation and modelling of the remaining lifetime of a structure is possible. In addition to the identification of materials, it is also possible to assess the composition for example of hardened concrete, which involves the cement or aggregate type used. Other important fields of application are the detection of environmentally hazardous elements or the material classification for sorting heterogeneous material waste streams during dismantling.

As a piezoelectric transducer generates Lamb waves following radial paths, the use of a polar coordinate can be a suitable alternative to the use of a cartesian coordinate. Therefore, in the proposed method, using a single transducer placed on the center of the specimen, the measured wavefields are transformed into polar coordinates, making several identical radial line inspections from the center in a direction of incident waves. Taking advantage of the properties of the polar coordinates, a signal processing technique is proposed through a frequency-wavenumber filtering process in these coordinates. In this technique, by using proper filters, unwanted wave modes of the incident wave along with all reflected waves are filtered out. In addition, the conventional features of RMS and Euclidean distance are adapted for the polar coordinate system to image the bonded plate. The proposed signal processing and damage imaging are first introduced through a numerical simulation. Then, the performance of the proposed technique is presented by experimental measurements of two specimens including adhesively bonded carbon fiber-reinforced plastic composite plates and bonded aluminum plates.

A1 - Prager, Jens T1 - Comparative Study Between Simulation and Experimental Guided Ultrasonic Wave Propagation on a Plate Like Structure N2 - In plate-like structures, ultrasonic waves propagate as Lamb waves. Their use is important for many applications from non-destructive testing to structural health monitoring. Efficient simulation tools contribute to a significant value add e.g. in designing systems for these applications. Under which conditions an acceptable accuracy of these models with affordable computational costs can be achieved is an open question. Many of these applications include the usage of a plane wavefront, simulated in 2D crossesctional models to reduce complexity. In this contribution, a comparative case study between simulations and experiments is presented. The aim is to verify and compare a 2D cross-sectional model with experimental data. The experimental setup for this case study consists of an aluminum plate. A rectangular piezoelectric transducer is mounted for guided wave excitation. A laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) measures out-of-plane velocities on the plate. A 2D cross-sectional model based on the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) is used to simulate the wave propagation of the experimental setup. The first data points near the transducer are used to fit the excitation tractions of the model, while additional points further away from the source are used to validate the model. The comparison between the recorded measurements and the simulated velocities shows a high degree of compatibility. T2 - DAGA 2023 - 49.

Im Mobilitätssektor kommen dabei vorwiegend Kohlefaserverbundbehälter zur Speicherung von gasförmigem Wasserstoff im Hochdruckbereich zum Einsatz, die sich durch ihre Leichtbauweise bei gleichzeitig hoher Speicherkapazität auszeichnen. Materialfehler oder -ermüdung können jedoch zum Ausfall bis hin zum kritischen Versagensfall führen. Ein sicherer Betrieb der Behälter erfordert daher ein innovatives und zuverlässiges Konzept, um deren Integrität zu gewährleisten und folgenschwere Zwischenfälle zu vermeiden. Die Strukturüberwachung mittels geführter Ultraschallwellen ist dafür einer der prominentesten Ansätze, da sich die Wellen über große Entfernungen in der Struktur ausbreiten können und zudem sehr empfindlich auf kleinste Materialdefekte reagieren. In diesem Beitrag wird der Aufbau eines Sensornetzwerks zur Schadenserkennung und -lokalisierung vorgestellt, das auf den Prinzipien der Ausbreitung geführter Ultraschallwellen in Druckbehältern aus Verbundwerkstoffen basiert. Dazu werden in einem ersten Schritt das dispersive und multimodale Ausbreitungsverhalten analysiert und dominante Wellenmoden identifiziert. Basierend auf der Analyse werden Dämpfungsverhalten und Empfindlichkeit gegenüber künstlichen Defekten bestimmt. Unter Verwendung der ermittelten Informationen wird ein Sensornetzwerk bestehend aus piezoelektrischen Flächenwandlern entworfen, welches den zu untersuchenden Bereich vollständig abdecken soll. Das Ergebnis wird anschließend durch Aufbringen künstlicher Defekte experimentell evaluiert und präsentiert.

Zur Speicherung von gasförmigem Wasserstoff kommen bei stationären und auch mobilen Anwendungen meist Druckbehälter aus Verbundwerkstoffen zum Einsatz. Dabei ist für den Betrieb der Behälter die Gewährleistung der Sicherheit von großer Relevanz. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) bietet einen innovativen Ansatz, um sowohl die Sicherheit als auch die Zuverlässigkeit der Druckbehälter zu gewährleisten und kritische Versagensfälle zu vermeiden. Zur kontinuierlichen Überwachung und Bewertung des Zustands eines Wasserstoffdruckbehälters wird in dem vorliegenden Beitrag eine aktive Methode präsentiert, die auf geführten Ultraschallwellen basiert. Dabei kommt das Pitch-Catch Verfahren zwischen Sender und Empfängern zur Überwachung der strukturellen Integrität zum Einsatz. Auf Grundlage des untersuchten Wellenausbreitungsverhaltens im Druckbehälter sowie der Geometrieeigenschaften wird ein Sensornetzwerk aus piezoelektrischen Flächenwandlern (PZT) zur Abdeckung des zu überwachenden Bereichs entworfen. Ziel ist es mit Hilfe eines Optimierungsalgorithmus eine größtmögliche Abdeckung bei gleichzeitiger Minimierung der Anzahl der Sensoren zu erreichen. Zudem soll eine gleichmäßige und platzsparende Verteilung im Vordergrund stehen, so dass zukünftig weitere Messmethoden auf dem Druckbehälter angewendet werden können (z. B. durch akustische oder faseroptische Sensoren). Das für die Anwendung optimierte Sensornetzwerk wird anschließend hinsichtlich der Robustheit bei der Schadenserkennung und -lokalisierung durch Aufbringen von künstlichen Schäden evaluiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die künstlichen Schäden am Wasserstoffdruckbehälter nachgewiesen werden können.

T1 - Extension of the Boltzmann plot method for multiplet emission lines N2 - The Boltzmann plot method is widely used to determine the temperature of laser induced plasma. It involves the use of individual lines that are not easy to find in complex spectra and/or in the spectral range available. If the number of such lines is not enough to build a reliable Boltzmann plot, overlapping lines are often used, which are separated by software. However, line separation is a rather imprecise procedure, which, in addition, requires significant computational costs. This study proposes an extension of the Boltzmann plot method that allows a specific group of unresolved lines to be included in a Boltzmann plot without the need to separate them. This group of lines are multiplets, lines of the same element with similar upper and lower transition states. The multiplet lines along with the individual lines are included in the algorithm, which also includes a correction for self-absorption and is used to determine the plasma temperature. The algorithm is tested on synthetic spectra which are consistent with the model of a homogeneous isothermal plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium and is shown to be superior to the standard Boltzmann plot method both in more accurate determination of the plasma temperature and in a significant reduction in the computational time. The advantages and disadvantages of the method are discussed in the context of its applications in laser induced breakdown spectroscopy.

T1 - Phase Error Evaluation via Differentiation and Cross-Multiplication Demodulation in Phase-Sensitive Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry N2 - Phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (jOTDR) is a technology for distributed vibration sensing, where vibration amplitudes are determined by recovering the phase of the backscattered light. Measurement noise induces phase errors, which degrades sensing performance. The phase errors, using a differentiation and cross-multiplication (DCM) algorithm, are investigated theoretically and experimentally in a jOTDR system based on a phase retrieval configuration consisting of an imbalanced Mach–Zehnder interferometer (IMZI) and a 3 x 3 coupler. Analysis shows that phase error is highly dependent on the AC component of the obtained signal, essentially being inversely proportional to the product of the power of the light backscattered from two locations. An analytical expression was derived to estimate the phase error and was confirmed by experiment. When applied to the same measurement data, the error is found to be slightly smaller than that obtained using in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) demodulation. The error, however, increases for longer measurement times.

T1 - Geometrical features and mechanical properties of the sheet-based gyroid scaffolds with functionally graded porosity manufactured by electron beam melting N2 - Functionally graded porous scaffolds (FGPS) constructed with pores of different size arranged as spatially continuous structure based on sheet-based gyroid with three different scaling factors of 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 were produced by electron beam powder bed fusion. The pore dimensions of the obtained scaffolds satisfy the values required for optimal bone tissue ingrowth. Agglomerates of residual powder were found inside all structures, which required post-manufacturing treatment. Using X-ray Computed Tomography powder agglomerations were visualized and average wall thickness, wall-to-wall distances, micro- and macro-porosities were evaluated. The initial cleaning by powder recovery system (PRS) was insufficient for complete powder removal. Additional treatment by dry ultrasonic vibration (USV) was applied and was found successful for gyroids with the scaling factors of 0.05 and 0.1. Mechanical properties of the samples, including quasi-elastic gradients and first maximum compressive strengths of the structures before and after USV were evaluated to prove that additional treatment does not produce structural damage. The estimated quasi-elastic gradients for gyroids with different scaling factors lie in a range between 2.5 and 2.9 GPa, while the first maximum compressive strength vary from 52.5 for to 59.8 MPa, compressive offset stress vary from 46.2 for to 53.2 MPa.

T1 - Improved criteria for evaluating impact targets in regulative drop tests of dangerous goods packagings N2 - For dangerous goods packagings, drop testing onto an essential unyielding target can be used to assess the mechanical resistance to impact loads. Adopted regulations like ADR/RID require that the impact surface provided shall be integral with a mass at least 50 times than that of the heaviest package to be tested. The problem is that many manufacturers do not possess impact targets that satisfy the required 50 times mass ratio for regulative drop tests during series production. The objective of this work is to verify existing and define improved criteria for impact target structures based on systematic investigations. Previous evidence highlights the relevance of other parameters in addition to the mass ratio. Therefore, in this research, a variation of drop test parameters was carried out experimentally. Furthermore, numerical vibration analysis was applied to investigate the deformability of the impact surface. The results conclude that the mass ratio of 1:50 cannot be defined as a decisive criterion. In order to determine the influence of further drop test parameters, the research findings were used to validate a parametric model which assesses impact target deflection. An approximation quality of over 90 % was achieved. As a result, new evaluation criteria are proposed. Firstly, a method for identifying critical impact target designs is provided. Secondly, a new comprehensive formula compares the approximated maximum deflection of a real impact target to the respective theoretical threshold derived from a worst-case assumption. In practice, this leads to great advantages in the evaluation of already installed impact targets for dangerous goods packagings.

T1 - DeepGDM: Deep Learning for Gas Distribution Mapping N2 - Gas distribution mapping (GDM) is a valuable tool for monitoring the distribution of gases in various applications, including environmental monitoring, emergency response, and industrial safety. While GDM is actively researched in the scope of gas-sensitive mobile robots (Mobile Robot Olfaction), there is a potential for broader applications utilizing sensor networks. This presentation gives an overview of the different approaches to GDM and motivate the use of a deep-neural network-based approach. As access to ground truth representations of gas distributions remains a challenge in GDM research, an approach for the simulation of realistic-shaped synthetic gas plumes is described, which was used for training Gas Distribution Decoder, a deep neural network for spatial interpolation of spatially sparse gas measurements.

T1 - In Vivo Bone Progression in and around Lattice Implants Additively Manufactured with a New Titanium Alloy N2 - The osseointegration in/around additively manufactured (AM) lattice structures of a new titanium alloy, Ti–19Nb–14Zr, was evaluated. Different lattices with increasingly high sidewalls gradually closing them were manufactured and implanted in sheep. After removal, the bone–interface implant (BII) and bone–implant contact (BIC) were studied from 3D X-ray computed tomography images. Measured BII of less than 10 µm and BIC of 95% are evidence of excellent osseointegration. Since AMnaturally leads to a high-roughness surface finish, the wettability of the implant is increased. The new alloy possesses an increased affinity to the bone. The lattice provides crevices in which the biological tissue can jump in and cling. The combination of these factors is pushing ossification beyond its natural limits. Therefore, the quality and speed of the ossification and osseointegration in/around these Ti–19Nb–14Zr laterally closed lattice implants open the possibility of bone spline key of prostheses. This enables the stabilization of the implant into the bone while keeping the possibility of punctual hooks allowing the implant to be removed more easily if required. Thus, this new titanium alloy and such laterally closed lattice structures are appropriate candidates to be implemented in a new generation of implants.

Dies steht im Gegensatz zu den immer komplexer werdenden Verbundwerkstoffen und Strukturen in der Mineralbaustoffindustrie. Die manuelle Sortierung birgt viele Risiken und Gefahren für das ausführende Personal und basiert lediglich auf offensichtlichen, visuell erkennbaren Unterschieden zur Trennung. Eine automatisierte, sensorgestützte Sortierung dieser Baustoffe könnte diese Praxis ergänzen oder ersetzen, um die Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit, die Recyclingquoten, die Sortierqualität und die gesundheitlichen Bedingungen zu verbessern. Ein gemeinsames Projekt von Partnern aus Industrie und Forschungseinrichtungen nähert sich dieser Aufgabe, indem es die Kombination von Laser-induzierter Breakdown-Spektroskopie (LIBS) und VIS/NIR-Spektroskopie untersucht und testet. Durch die gemeinsame Verarbeitung der Informationen soll die Sortierqualität verschiedener Materialien wie Beton, Hauptmauerwerksbaustoffe, organische Bestandteile usw. deutlich verbessert werden. Darüber hinaus könnten Verunreinigungen wie SO3-haltige Baustoffe (Gips, Porenbeton usw.) erkannt und getrennt werden.

When a guided wave mode travels and hits a defect, it scatters in all directions, converting to other modes and reflecting the existing one. These interactions are captured in scattered far field complex amplitudes. The amplitudes are stored in scattering matrices, which characterise the elastodynamic behaviour of a defect completely. Scattering matrices are also useful to simulate backpropagation from a defect using ray-tracing methods. Simulating these interactions is challenging, and analytical solutions only exist for simple geometries. Still, using general tools like the finite element method results in large, usually costly models. Recently, researchers proposed a method based on a numerical implementation of the Kirchhoff–Helmholtz integral that allows the computation of the scattering matrices using a model containing only the damaged region. However, classical methods to resolve the far field and low-order elements were used, leading to large models yet more efficient than using other techniques. We propose using the SBFEM as an alternative to enhance the computation of the far field scattering. The damaged region is discretised using high-order polyhedral elements, while the far field is constructed using a modified version of the SBFEM. Examples compared to the literature demonstrate the validity of the approach.

Simulation of these interactions poses a challenge. After the wave-damage interaction, the numerical model must reproduce features like mode conversion or wave scattering. Mathematically, damages are discontinuities in a computational domain, and each wave interacts differently because of the geometrical features. We propose a quadtree-based meshing in the current contribution to capture these geometrical characteristics. This kind of discretisation approach requires special techniques to couple cells of different sizes since, after a quadtree decomposition, the problem of so-called hanging nodes may arise. Transition elements based on high-order transfinite shape functions are used to solve this issue. The advantage is that these elements allow the correct coupling of the cells while retaining a high-order interpolation. Moreover, the reuse of the dynamic stiffness matrices can be exploited based on the similarity of the cells. This procedure makes the approach very efficient. Examples show the scattering characteristics of different guided wave modes after interacting with inhomogeneities and discontinuities in a plate.

For instance, the manufacturing defects and high RS are inherent of additively manufacturing techniques and affect structural integrity of the components. Using XCT the defects size and shape distribution as well as geometrical deviations can be characterized, allowing the further optimization of the manufacturing process.

T1 - Reliability assessment of existing concrete bridges with geometrical NDT results - Case studies N2 - The results of and the validity in reliability assessment of existing bridges essentially depend on the information available about the considered system. Information about the actual condition as well as structural and material characteristics can be observed on-site to refine the computation models used in assessment. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods for concrete structures are capable of reconstructing missing, questioned, or inconsistent as-built plans. This contribution summarizes recent developments within the scope of the national pre-standardization project “ZfPStatik”, which aims to prepare a guideline about NDT-supported structural analyses. The focus is on the purposeful and explicit utilization of geometrical tendon and reinforcement bar positions (measured on-site using the ultrasound echo and ground penetrating radar (GPR) techniques) in probabilistic reliability analyses — shown by means of real case studies. The well-established first order reliability method is applied to different concrete bridges, which are typical for the German road bridge stock, to demonstrate the utility of incorporating quality-evaluated NDT-results in terms of changes in structural reliability.

Current inspection techniques require to stop the wind turbine. This work presents the current progress in the project EvalTherm, in which passive thermography is evaluated as a possible non-destructive inspection tool for operational wind turbine blades (WTBs). A methodology to obtain thermal images of rotating WTBs has been established in this project. However, the quality of the results is heavily dependent on various aspects such as weather conditions, information on the inspected WTB, damage history, etc. In this work, a section of a used WTB is simulated using finite-element modelling (FEM) as well as experimentally tested for evaluating the accuracy of the model. Such a model will provide insight into the potential thermal response of a certain structure (with specific material properties) in given weather (boundary) conditions. The model is able to provide satisfactory predictions of the thermal response of the structure, as well as indicate what thermal contrast(s) result from artificial defects introduced in the structure.

T1 - FEA of the mechanical response of installed impact target foundations in drop tests of dangerous goods packagings N2 - Packagings for the transport of dangerous goods need to meet special requirements to get an approval. This includes free fall drop testing onto an essentially unyielding surface as a means to assess a package’s resistance to mechanical damage. A main requirement for drop tests is that the impact target’s mass shall be at least 50 times that of the heaviest package to be tested. Nevertheless, many manufacturers do not possess foundation structures with the required mass ratio. Previous evidence highlights that the mass ratio is not a decisive criterion on its own. Parameters such as the impact target foundation’s connection and the impulse experienced by the impacting object are essential as well. However, these factors are not easily verifiable since experimental measurements are not possible at most facilities. The objective of this work is to provide a detailed analysis on the interaction between impact target foundation and subgrade in dynamic impact testing using validated finite-element (FE) models. This research is highly beneficial for industrial application since it allows manufacturers to make informed predictions about the mechanical response of installed impact target foundations.

This paper has an exploratory nature, where we focus on the simulation of eddy current signals for head check cracks, one of the most important rail surface defects. The goal of this paper is twofold. On the one hand, we present our general simulation setup. This includes geometric models for head check cracks with features like branching and direction change, a model for the HC10 rail testing probe, and the configuration of the Faraday simulation software. On the other hand, we use the Faraday software to simulate eddy current testing signals with a strong focus on the influence of the damage depth on the signal, while differentiating between different crack geometries. Here, we observe an early saturation effect of the test signal at a damage depth of 2 mm (at a crack angle of 25◦ to the surface). That is about 2 mm earlier than we would expect from measurements at a crack angle of 90◦. This behavior will be investigated further in a future paper. Finally, we interpolate the simulated signals in a two-step curve fitting process. With these interpolations we may generate eddy current test signals for any damage depth within the simulated range.

In addition, an optimisation of the proposed setup in terms of its spatial resolution is also presented for the first time. The surface waves are generated by strong blasts of 25 kg of explosives at a dedicated test site. A 10 km dark fiber link in the vicinity of the test site connected to the test setup records the resulting strain signals. The spike-free and low-noise strain data thus obtained minimize post-processing requirements, making the setup a candidate for real-time seismic monitoring. An analysis of the dispersion characteristics of the generated surface waves is performed using a recently reported optimised seismic interferometric technique. Based on the dispersion characteristics, the shear wave velocities of the surface waves as a function of the depth profile of the Earth’s crust are determined using an optimised evolutionary algorithm.

However, probability of detection (POD), the commonly used measure of NDT reliability, only looks at the technical capability of an NDT system to detect a defect. After several decades of research on the influence of HFs on NDT reliability, there is still no commonly accepted approach to rendering HFs visible in reliability assessment. This paper provides an overview of possible quantitative and qualitative methods for integrating HFs into the reliability assessment. It is concluded that reliability assessment is best carried out using both quantifiable and non-quantifiable approaches to HFs.

T1 - Gasquellenlokalisierung mit Drohnenschwärmen N2 - Gasquellenlokalisierungen (Gas Source Localization, GSL) tragen dazu bei, die Folgen von Industrieunfällen und Naturkatastrophen zu mildern. Während die GSL, wenn von Menschen durchgeführt, gefährlich und zeitaufwändig ist, können Schwärme von wendigen und kostengünstigen Nanodrohnen die Effizienz und Sicherheit der Suche erhöhen. Da die geringe Nutzlast von Nanodrohnen die Sensor- und Rechenressourcen einschränkt, werden Strategien zur Koordination des Roboterschwarms verwendet, die von biologischen Schwärmen, wie Kolonien sozialer Insekten, inspiriert sind. Die meisten Schwarm-GSL-Strategien verwenden das Maximum der Gaskonzentrationsverteilung zur Schätzung der Gasquellenposition. Experimente legen jedoch nahe, dass die Intermittenz der Gasverteilung vielversprechender ist. In diesem Beitrag wird eine neuartige GSL-Strategie für Schwärme vorgestellt, die auf Pheromonkommunikation und Intermittenz der Gasverteilung basiert. Die Agenten, d.h. die Nanodrohnen, emittieren Pheromonmarker in einer virtuellen Umgebung, wenn sie eine neue Gaswolke feststellen. Die Agenten werden durch virtuelle Kräfte gesteuert und nutzen abwechselnd das Wissen des Schwarms, indem sie dem Pheromongradienten folgen, oder erkunden den Suchraum, indem sie einen Zufallspunkt ansteuern. Zur Kollisionsvermeidung werden die Agenten durchgehend von anderen Agenten und Wänden abgestoßen. Die Strategie wurde auf drei Nanodrohnen implementiert und durch ein Experiment in einem Innenraum mit einer statischen Gasquelle validiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine Verbesserung gegenüber maximabasierten Verfahren und geringe Lokalisierungsfehler in Windrichtung. T2 - 34.
