Dabei wird ein Schallpuls von einem Prüfkopf in ein Prüfobjekt eingebracht. Der Puls kann unter anderem durch Membra-nen oder Piezoelemente erzeugt werden und wird in der Regel durch direkten Kontakt oder über ein Koppelmittel an das Objekt übertragen. Luftgekoppelter Ultraschall spielt in kommerziellen Anwendungen bisher eine untergeordnete Rolle, da die Dif-ferenz der akustischen Impedanzen von Luft und Festkörpern immense Verluste beim Übergang des Schallsignals hervorruft. In diesem Beitrag soll ein neuartiges Anregungsprinzip vorgestellt werden, mit dem ein Großteil dieser Verluste vermieden wird. Anstelle eines Festkörpers soll mit Hilfe einer fluidischen Düse Druckluft zur Signalerzeugung eingesetzt werden. In die-ser Düse wird eine selbsterhaltende Strömungsinstabilität erzeugt, die einen Schall-puls von bis zu 100 kHz hervorruft, sodass der Impedanzverlust in die Umgebungsluft entfällt. Da die charakteristische Frequenz eines fluidisch generierten Pulses maßgeb-lich von der Bauform der Düse und dem anliegenden Druck abhängt, lässt sich mittels einer geeigneten Strömungsregelung ein breiter Frequenzbereich zur Abtastung nut-zen. Die so emittierten Pulse werden auf das Prüfobjekt gerichtet und die reflektierten Signale mit einem Laservibrometer an der Oberfläche des Objekts im Echo-Verfahren abgetastet. Von drei signalmindernden Materialübergängen bei gewöhnlichem luftge-koppeltem Ultraschall bleibt in dem hier vorgeschlagenen Messystem lediglich die Grenzfläche von Luft zu Prüfkörper, sodass eine höhere Signalausbeute als bisher er-wartet werden kann.

Die dauerhafte Überwachung und frühzeitige Erkennung von Schäden an komplexen Neubauten und alternder Infrastruktur kann mittels Ultraschall-Transmissionsmessungen und speziellen Auswertemethoden, wie z. B. Korrelationverfahren und Codawelleninterferometrie, realisiert werden. Für die Dauerüberwachung wurde ein kompaktes System entwickelt, das Ultraschall-Messdaten erfassen und ins Internet auf einen FTP-Server übertragen kann. Es können hierbei alle angeschlossenen Prüfköpfe für jede Messung wahlweise als Sender oder Empfänger geschaltet werden. Es wurden Vorverstärker entwickelt, bei denen die Versorgung mit Strom über die Messleitung erfolgt. Dadurch können die Verstärker nahe am Prüfkopf positioniert werden. Durch Änderungen in den Ultraschall-Signalen können Schädigungen des Bauteils, wie z.B. Risse, in Echtzeit erkannt werden.

Um mit zerstörungsfreier Prüfung mögliche Risikostellen zu lokalisieren und Präventionsmaßnahmen zu ergreifen, sind Kenntnisse über das Porengefüge und Feuchtetransportmechanismen im Baustoff erforderlich. Eine wesentliche Problematik besteht derzeit in der Erfassung und Quantifizierung von Feuchteverteilungen bei Teilsättigung. Wir verfolgen derzeit einen Ansatz, mittels Nuklear Magnetischer Resonanz (NMR) in Korrelation mit relativen Luftfeuchtmessungen den Flüssigwasseranteil bei Teilsättigung zu ermitteln. Mit Protonen-NMR lassen sich Relaxationszeiten von Wasserstoffprotonen in Abhängigkeit von ihrer Bindungsart und ihrer Umgebung - z. B. Porenstruktur und -größe - erfassen. Allerdings lässt sich bei Materialien mit sehr breiten Porengrößenverteilungen nicht klar differenzieren, ob kurze Relaxationszeiten durch größere teilgesättigte oder kleinere vollgesättigte Poren verursacht werden. Für die Korrelation mit der relativen Luftfeuchte im Baustoff erfolgt zunächst eine künstliche Regulierung im Klimaschrank. Durch einen neuentwickelten Ansatz von Hillerborg lassen sich dann bei jeder Luftfeuchte die adsorbierten Wasserschichtdicken und der Porensättigungsgrad für die vorhandenen Porengrößen berechnen. Mithilfe des berechneten Porensättigungsgrades lässt sich eine genauere Analyse der zeitlichen Entwicklung von Relaxationszeitenverteilungen (insbesondere bei Trocknungs- und Aufsättigungsprozessen) vornehmen. Somit sollen erstmals Aussagen zu kürzeren Relaxationszeiten bei teilgesättigten Porensystemen, die beispielsweise auch eine multimodale Porengrößenverteilung aufweisen, getroffen werden können. In dieser Arbeit wird die Kombination aus NMR und der relativen Luftfeuchte an sehr porösen Dämmplatten aus Kalziumsilikat, die zur Wärmedämmung sowie der Entgegenwirkung von Schimmelbildung eingesetzt werden, angewendet. Untersucht werden 28 Proben à 6 Gruppen, die von unterschiedlichen Herstellern stammen bzw. unterschiedlich hergestellt wurden.

We find a significant improvement in the overall Signal to background ratio of up to 100 and a suppression of more than a factor 3⋅10⁵ for undesirable Bragg reflections generated by the X-ray “transparent” windows of the sample environment. The background reduction and the removal of the high intensity signals from the windows, which limit the detector’s dynamic range, enable significantly higher sensitivity in experiments within sample environments such as vacuum chambers and gas- or liquid-cells. Details of the additively manufactured steel collimator geometry, alignment strategies using X-ray fluorescence, and data analysis are also briefly discussed. The flexibility and affordability of 3D prints enable designs optimized for specific detectors and sample environments, without compromising the degrees of freedom of the diffractometer.

Teil 1: Konzept, Messungen und Leistungsfähigkeit der ZfP‐Verfahren N2 - Gegenüber dem Neubauentwurf können bei der Bewertung von bestehender Bausubstanz Sicherheitsreserven genutzt werden, da Unsicherheiten, die beim Bau auftreten können, besser bekannt oder nicht mehr vorhanden sind. Können solche Unsicherheiten genauer bewertet werden, z. B. durch die Feststellung der genauen Lage der Spannglieder bei einer Spannbetonbrücke, so können Sicherheitsbeiwerte reduziert werden, ohne dass es dabei zu Auswirkungen auf das normativ festgelegte Zuverlässigkeitsniveau kommt. Mittlerweile sind Prüfmethoden an Bauwerken wirtschaftlich einsetzbar und auch so leistungsfähig, dass die für die Tragfähigkeit und Gebrauchstauglichkeit wesentlichen Parameter identifiziert werden können. Ein wesentlicher Punkt ist hierbei die Integration derartiger Messergebnisse in Rechenmodelle, die für die Nachrechnung des Bauwerks verwendet werden. Dies können sowohl semiprobabilistische Rechenmodelle als auch vollprobabilistische Modelle sein. Bei semiprobabilistischen Methoden können aus den Messergebnissen Teilsicherheitsbeiwerte berechnet und abgeleitet werden, die dann in den bekannten Nachweisformaten gemäß den Eurocodes und der Nachrechnungsrichtlinie berücksichtigt werden. Bei vollprobabilistischen Nachweisen können die Messdaten in Form von Verteilungsdichtefunktionen mit gemessenen Variationskoeffizienten direkt in das Rechenmodell eingehen. In einer dreiteiligen Aufsatzreihe werden die Messverfahren und die Nutzung der Ergebnisse bei der Nachrechnung vorgestellt. Der vorliegende Teil 1 zeigt die Möglichkeiten des Einsatzes von zerstörungsfreien Prüfverfahren und bewertet deren Leistungsfähigkeit. Messen heißt wissen. Dieses Wissen spiegelt die Realität wider und soll den Tragwerksplaner bei der Entscheidungsfindung über die Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit von Bestandsbauwerken unterstützen.

T1 - Non-destructive evaluation of the contribution of polymer-fibre orientation and distribution characteristics to concrete performance during fire N2 - Although concrete itself is not a combustible material, concrete mixtures with high density, such has high-performance concretes (HPCs), are susceptible to significant damage during fires due to explosive spalling. Past research has shown that the inclusion of polymer fibres in high density concrete can significantly mitigate this fire damage. The exact mechanisms causing this increased spalling resistance are not yet fully under-stood, but it is thought that the fibres facilitate moisture transport during fire exposure, which in turn contributes to relief of internal stresses in the spalling-susceptible region. In this study, X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) was applied to observe the interaction between polymer fibres and cracking during thermal exposure. For this purpose, two concrete samples containing different polymer fibre types were subjected to incremental application of a defined thermal exposure. CT images were acquired before and after each thermal exposure and powerful image processing tools were used to segment the various material components. This enabled a detailed analysis of crack formation and propagation as well as the visualization and quantification of polymer fibre characteristics within the concrete. The results demonstrated that the orientation of both fibres and cracks in polymer-fibre reinforced concrete tend to be anisotropic. The results also indicated that crack geometry characteristics may be correlated with fibre orientation, with cracks tending to run parallel to fibre beds. Clear quantitative relationships were also observed between heating and increasing cracking levels, expressed in terms of both crack surface area and crack volume.

This is made possible by structured heating using high-power VCSEL laser arrays whose individual emitter groups can be arbitrarily controlled. In order to locate the defects, we have developed a scanning method based on the continuous wavelet transformation with complex Morlet wavelet using the destructive interference effect of thermal waves. This approach can also be used for thermally very fast and highly reflective materials such as uncoated aluminum. We show that subsurface defects at an aspect ratio of defect width to defect depth down to 1/3 are still detectable in this material.

During manufacturing, defects can arise which could lead to failure of the whole component under dynamic mechanical and thermal loads. Hence during operation defects can arise which, if detected, can be repaired locally and in-situ by applying repair patches instead of taking the whole rotor blade down and repair it remotely. This method is much more time and cost effective, since the shut-down time of the energy converter is limited to a minimum. These repair patches can, however, also lead to new defects if not applied optimally. Therefore, it is necessary to control the quality of the repair patches to ensure the best possible restoration of structural integrity of the component. As a rotor blade is an object with a large aspect ratio, X-ray laminography is predestined to provide 3D information of the objective volume. To enhance the amount of information gained from laminographic reconstruction, we use in this study a photon counting and energy discriminating X-ray detector and apply a material decomposition algorithm to the data. By inherently separating the incident spectra within the detection process into two distinct energy bins, the basis material decomposition can provide material resolved images.

T1 - New concepts for the measurement of focal spot parameters of nano- and microfocus X-ray tubes N2 - Accurate measurement of focal spot sizes of X-ray tubes, betatrons and linear accelerators is still an open problem. Several standards are currently active, which provide different results depending on the focal spot shape. CEN published the standard series EN 12543 (five parts) in 1999, which describes the measurement of focal spot sizes of X-ray tubes for NDT applications. The measurement procedure and its tolerances deviate from the measurement standards for medical X-ray tubes, e.g. EN 60336:2006 / IEC 60336:2005. EN 12543 describes different measurement methods for X-ray tubes with focal spots in several size ranges, defined as macrofocus, minifocus and microfocus. CEN TC 138 WG 1 und ASTM E 07.01 are revising (CEN) or have just revised (ASTM) the standards for focal spot size measurements, basing them on pin hole or edge measurements only. Slit cameras are applied for medical tube evaluation only. Tomographic methods for focal spot size shape reconstruction were proposed and will be discussed, but have not yet been used for standardization. The currently available standards cover the range of spot sizes from 5 µm up to several millimetres. During the last years, more and more nanofocus tubes have been developed for high-resolution applications and microscopy. Manufacturers and users apply different methods for measurement of nanofocus spot sizes and image resolution, which differ by a factor of up to two. These well-known methods and new alternative methods for the measurement of nanofocus spots (size and shape) will be evaluated and improved in the EMPIR project “NanoXSpot” in order to develop a related measurement standard.

Der pH-Wert ist vor allem für Stahlbeton-Bauwerke von Bedeutung, da dieser maßgeblich die Korrosion des Stahls beeinflusst. Im frischen Beton liegt der pH-Wert im basischen Bereich. Der Stahl ist in diesem Bereich passiviert, also vor schädlicher Korrosion geschützt. Durch die sogenannte Karbonatisierung sinkt der pH-Wert und die Korrosionswahrscheinlichkeit steigt deutlich an. Die Stabilität von Bauwerken in denen Stahlbeton verbaut ist, wird durch diese Korrosion langfristig beeinträchtigt. Allein in deutscher Infrastruktur rechnet man mit circa 5 Milliarden Euro Schaden jährlich. Die entwickelte Methode verwendet Sonden, welche die Korrosion Monitoren sollen. Im Sondeninneren befindet sich eine Schicht pH-Indikator (Thymolblau) und eine Schicht mit Quantenpunkten. Die Quantenpunkte fluoreszieren, nach Anregung durch zum Beispiel einen Laser, bei circa 440 nm (blau) beziehungsweise 610 nm (gelb-orange). Das Thymolblau ist im basischen Milieu (pH > 9,6) blau, im neutralen Milieu (um pH 7) gelb-orange. Der Indikator wirkt wie ein Farbfilter und lässt, je nach pH-Wert, unterschiedliche Wellenlängen zur Glasfaser durch. Aus der gemessenen Intensität bei 440 nm und 610 nm kann ein Verhältnis ermittelt werden. Dieses Verhältnis lässt erkennen, welchen pH-Wert das Milieu besitzt, in dem sich die Sonde befindet. Die entwickelte Methodik ist zerstörungsfrei, das heißt kein Material muss aus den Bauwerken entnommen werden. Vielmehr sollen die Sonden beim Betonieren in das Bauwerk eingebettet werden. Über Glasfasern können die Sonden jederzeit angesprochen werden. Dies ermöglicht permanentes pH-Monitoring, was die Früherkennung von Korrosionsgefahr verbessert und die Sanierungskosten verringert.

LIBS as an emission spectroscopy method is used to detect simultaneously several elements present in cement-based materials. By scanning surfaces the variability in the spatial distribution of elements can be visualised. However, for a quantification of the results, studies are necessary to characterise possible influences due to the wide variation of the chemical compositions in which cement can occur. It is shown how the calibration can be done, how the calibration samples were produced, and which statistical parameters are necessary to describe the precision of the regression. The performance of LIBS is estimated by detecting chloride in validation samples. Therefore, 55 samples and 7 ets with changing mix ompositions were produced. The presented study deals with possible influences of different mix compositions, ncluding different cations of chloride, varying w/c-ratios and the artial replacement of Portland cement with last furnace slag (50% BFS) and limestone (30% LS). Comparing the LIBS results with otentiometric titration, n accuracy of±0.05 wt%/total has been determined.

To ensure durability, uniform regulations and standards apply e.g. the European standard EN 206-1. In some countries, the EN-standard is supplemented by additional standards, as in Germany with DIN 1045-2. Here, specific application rules are described, e.g. for the cement type, to ensure the resistant to different exposures. Therefore, the knowledge of the materials originally used is important in assessing the condition of existing concrete structure. Unfortunately, these are often unknown and must be determined retrospectively. Therefore, we present the application of the laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy to distinguish between different types of cement. Spectral information’s are used to build a classification model. First, the accuracy of the classification is analyzed on ten pure laboratory cement samples. To investigate possible sources of error, the model was then applied to cement samples with different moisture content. The study shows that LIBS is a promising tool for distinguishing between cement types. For further industrial application, however, factors influencing the LIBS signal must be included to ensure a robust model.

T1 - Thermographic super resolution imaging using structured 1D laser illumination N2 - Thermographic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is based on the interaction of thermal waves with inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are related to sample geometry or material composition. Although thermography is suitable for a wide range of inhomogeneities and materials, the fundamental limitation is the diffusive nature of thermal waves and the need to measure their effect radiometrically at the sample surface only. The propagation of the thermal waves from the heat source to the inhomogeneity and to the detection surface results in a degradation in the spatial resolution of the technique. A new concerted ansatz based on a spatially structured heating and a joint sparsity of the signal ensemble allows an improved reconstruction of inhomogeneities. As a first step to establish an improved thermographic NDE method, an experimental setup was built based on structured 1D illumination using a flash lamp behind a mechanical aperture. As a follow-up to this approach, we now use direct structured illumination using a 1D laser array. The individual emitter cells are driven by a pseudo-random binary pattern and are additionally shifted by fractions of the cell period. The repeated measurement of these different configurations enables to illuminate each spot of the sample surface in lateral direction. This allows for a reconstruction that makes use of joint sparsity. The measured data set is processed using super resolution image reconstruction algorithms such as the iterative joint sparsity (IJOSP) algorithm. Using this reconstruction technique and 150 different illumination patterns results in a spatial resolution enhancement of approximately a factor of four compared to the resolution of 5.9 mm for homogenously illuminated thermographic reconstruction. Further, new data processing techniques have been studied before applying the IJOSP algorithm that are more performant or less prone to errors regarding image reconstruction. The choice of regularization parameters in data processing as well as experimental parameters such as the illumination pattern as a variable heat flux density (i.e., the Neumann boundary condition for convolution with the constant Green's function) have a big influence on the reconstruction goodness. With analytical-numerical modelling and numerical FEM simulations, we studied the influence of the experimental parameters on the result of the non-linear IJOSP reconstruction. This has also been investigated experimentally e.g. using different laser line widths or more measurements per position. These studies are used to derive optimal conditions for a certain measurement image reconstruction technique.

T1 - Photothermal super resolution imaging: a comparison of different reconstruction techniques N2 - The diffusive nature of heat propagation complicates the separation of two closely spaced defects. This results in a fundamental limitation in spatial resolution. Therefore, super resolution (SR) image reconstruction can be used. SR processing techniques based on spatially structured heating and joint sparsity of the signal ensemble allows for an improved reconstruction of closely spaced defects. This new technique has been studied using a 1D laser array with randomly chosen illumination pattern. This paper presents the results after applying SR algorithms such as the iterative joint sparsity (IJOSP) algorithm, to our processed measurement data. Two different data processing strategies are evaluated and discussed regarding their influence on the reconstruction goodness as well as their complexity. Moreover, the degradation of the SR reconstruction by the choice of regularization parameters in data processing is discussed. The application of both SR techniques that are evaluated in this paper results in a spatial resolution enhancement of approximately a factor of four which leads to a better separation of two closely spaced defects. The fundamental difference between both SR techniques is their complexity.

T1 - A comparison of different techniques for photothermal super resolution image reconstruction N2 - The separation of two closely located defects in fields of Thermographic NDE is very challenging. The diffusive nature of thermal waves leads to a fundamental limitation in spatial resolution. Therefore, super resolution image reconstruction can be used. A new concerted ansatz based on spatially structured heating and joint sparsity of the signal ensemble allows an improved reconstruction of closely located defects. This new technique has also been studied using 1D laser arrays in active thermography. The post-processing can be roughly described by two steps: 1. Finding a sparse basis representation using a reconstruction algorithm such as the Fourier transform, 2. Application of an iterative joint sparsity (IJOSP) method to the firstly reconstructed data. For this reason, different methods in post-processing can be compared using the same measured data set. The focus in this work was the variation of reconstruction algorithms in step 1 and its influence on the results from step 2. More precise, the measured thermal waves can be transformed to virtual (ultrasound) waves that can be processed by applying ultrasound reconstruction algorithms and finally the super resolution algorithm. Otherwise, it is also possible to make use of a Fourier transform with a subsequent super resolution routine. These super resolution thermographic image reconstruction techniques in post-processing are discussed and evaluated regarding performance, accuracy and repeatability.

Insbesondere Quellen in offener Bauweise benötigen Wartung wie Filamentwechsel und Nachstellen der Fokusparameter. Ziel ist es, einen optimal kleinen Quellfleck bei bekannter Spannung einzustellen und dessen Größe zu bestimmen. Zur Überprüfung der Quellfleckgröße sind bereits Verfahren unter Verwendung lithographisch hergestellter Masken mit Strichmustern oder Siemenssternen aus Mikrometer dünnen Schichten aus stark absorbierendem Material wie z.B. Gold bekannt. Diese erfordern wegen der geringen Absorption eine lange Messzeit und sind nur kostenintensiv herzustellen. Ihre Verwendung zur regelmäßigen Qualitätsüberprüfung von CT-Anlagen ist daher nicht verbreitet. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die richtungsabhängige Quellfleckgröße absolut zu bestimmen, wobei nur einfach zu beschaffende Wolframspitzen verwendet werden. Dazu werden radiographische Bilder in hoher Vergrößerung aufgenommen und die Grauwertverteilung parametrisiert. Unter Verwendung der Kenntnis von Targetmaterial und Spannung wird eine eineindeutige Zuordnung zur Quellfleckgröße vorgenommen. Dieses erfordert eine extensive Simulation für verschiedene Spannungen, Fokusgrößen und andere Einflussgrößen, sowie die experimentelle Verifikation an verschiedenen CT-Anlagen im Vergleich zu einer bekannten Methode. Erste Ergebnisse werden vorgestellt und die praktische Implementierung unter Angabe der Einschränkungen der Verwendbarkeit diskutiert. Die Autoren hoffen, damit einen wesentlichen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der Qualitätssicherung und zur Arbeitseffizienz in der Mikrocomputertomographie leisten zu können.

Für die Qualitätssicherung von Ultraschall-Prüfköpfen mit Luftankopplung bestand die bisherige Lösung darin, baugleiche Wandler als Aktuatoren (Referenzsender) einzusetzen. Für eine Weiterentwicklung der Wandler ist eine akustische Quelle wünschenswert, die eine weit größere Bandbreite mit flachem Frequenzgang aufweist, als die zu untersuchenden Prüfköpfe. Hier bieten sich thermoakustische Wandler an, die keine ausgeprägten Resonanzen haben und über eine hohe Bandbreite verfügen (min. 10 kHz bis 1 MHz). Diese wurden von der BAM in Berlin entwickelt und decken den Frequenzbereich von typischen Luftultraschall-Prüfköpfen vollständig ab. Der Vortag beschreibt die Besonderheiten der Ansteuerung dieser Wandler, die einen Innenwiderstand von ca. 7 Ohm besitzen und eine Pulsleistung von etwa 10 kW benötigen. Ferner werden erste Ergebnisse der Charakterisierung von unterschiedlichen piezokeramischen Prüfköpfen im Frequenzbereich von 50 kHz bis 500 kHz präsentiert.

T1 - Integrity testing of cast in situ concrete piles based on an impulse response function method using sine‑sweep excitation by a shaker N2 - In this study, an Impulse Response Function analysis of pile response to sine-sweep excitation by a low cost, portable Shaker was used to identify defects in piles. In straightforward impact-echo methods, echoes from the pile toe and defects are visible in the time domain measurements. However, these echoes are not present in the time domain records of piles subjected to sine-sweep excitations, due to interactions between the input and output signals. For this reason, the impulse response function in the time domain has been calculated and is able to identify the echoes from pile impedance changes. The proposed methodology has been evaluated both numerically and experimentally. A one-dimensional pile-soil interaction system was developed, and a finite difference method used to calculate the pile response to sine-sweep excitation. The numerical simulations indicate that impulse response measurements with a synthesized logarithmic, sine-sweep excitation could be an effective tool for detecting defects in piles. The methodology was further tested with field trials on 6 cast in situ concrete test piles including 1 intact pile and 5 defective piles subjected to sine-sweep excitations by a shaker. In 5 of the 6 cases the echoes from the pile toe could be identified in the deconvoluted waveforms—the impulse Response functions. Damage detection is more difficult and dependent on the selection of the optimal regularization parameter. Further research and optimization of the deconvolution process is needed to evaluate the effectiveness compared to standard pile integrity testing methods.

These probes incorporate eight and 32 magnetoresistive sensors, respectively, which are optimized for high sensitivity and spatial resolution. The signal processing and interfacing are carried out by a full-custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). The ASIC signal chain performs with a thermal input-referred noise of 30 nV/√Hz at 1 kHz, with 66 mW of power consumption, in a die with 3.7 × 3.4 mm 2 . NDT results are presented, showing that there is an increase in spatial resolution of surface defects when contrasted to prior art, enabling the probes to resolve defects with diameters of 0.44 mm, pitches of 0.6 mm, and minimum edge distance as low as 0.16 mm. The results also show that the probe for buried defects is a good all-round tool for detection of defects under cladding and multiple-plate flat junctions.

Increasing use of lightweight structures, composite materials and adhesive joints mostly in aerospace and automotive industry created an increasing interest in air-coupled ultrasonic testing methods, to protect sensitive surfaces and simplify maintenance. Commercially available air-coupled transducers consist of a piezocomposite material and matching layers to reduce the impedance mismatch between the transducer and air. This contribution is an overview of innovative approaches using new piezoelectric materials and other physical principles to transmit and receive an ultrasonic pulse in air. Capacitive and piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (CMUTs and PMUTs) produce high pressure levels, but they exhibit a very narrow bandwidth. Optical laser-based methods for transmitting and receiving ultrasound promise a higher bandwidth, but do not achieve the same sensitivity as conventional air-coupled transducers. Ferroelectrets are charged cellular polymers exhibiting piezoelectric properties, having a very small acoustic impedance well matched to air. Ferroelectret transducers achieve about the same bandwidth as the most broadband conventional air-coupled transducers, having a higher sensitivity. Thermoacoustic transducers use heat to initiate an acoustic wave, acting as transmitters in ultrasonic range. Thermoacoustic transducers enable excitation of extremely broadband pulses while producing high pressure levels, which opens new possibilities for advanced signal processing. The newest member of the family of air-coupled ultrasonic transmitters is the plasma-based transducer, using both the thermoacoustic effect and the movements of the ions (so called ionic wind) to create acoustic waves.

T1 - A high-order finite element technique with automatic treatment of stress singularities by semi-analytical enrichment N2 - This paper presents an approach to the automatic enrichment of finite elements in the vicinity of a stress singularity. The enrichment consists of semi-analytical singular modes constructed using the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM). In contrast to analytical methods, the SBFEM provides modes for inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials without additional effort. The finite element basis can be of arbitrary order and remains unaltered by the enrichment. The approach requires enrichment in only one layer of elements around a node. Due to the compatibility of SBFEM with FEM, there is no Need for transitional elements, and there are no parasitic terms. The approach is tested for several benchmark problems. The stress intensity factors are computed based on techniques inspired by the SBFEM. The proposed procedure is compared to a Standard finite element implementation and shows a significant improvement in the error of the displacement field for problems involving singular stresses.

T1 - High Speed Hollow Axle Inspection with a New Designed Cone Type Phased Array N2 - Hollow axle inspection can be performed without demounting the axles and without dismantling the wheels and the brake discs by using the drilling for the scan. To increase inspection reliability and inspection speed, the application of phased array systems instead of conventional probes is a good choice. For solid shaft inspection phased array setups became standard in the recent years. Nevertheless, for hollow axle inspection typically a number of conventional probes rotating through the axles drilling are applied. The new approach uses an electronically steered rotating sound field from a phased array for the circumferential scan. This is realized by a cone shaped phased array which operates in immersion technique. That allows a significant increase in inspection speed and a reduction of the mechanical effort of the inspection system. The inspection can be carried out by a linear movement of the probe setup along the axles drilling. Applying additional focal laws allows exact inclination and focusing of the sound beam in the plane vertical to the specimen axis to concentrate the sound in the zones close to the external surface. An additional focus in the plane of incidence increases overall resolution and sensitivity. The cone type phased array probe has been optimized to detect transversal flaws in and close to the outer surface of the hollow axle with orientation in the radial-radial plane. The prototype probe system, sound field simulations and measurement results are presented.

Due to refraction at interfaces in inhomogeneous media X-rays undergo natural focusing (or defocusing) of waves, revealing caustics. Such Kind of intensity patterns are well-known for visible light, but have been sparsely discussed for X-rays. The Variation of irradiation density may be predicted in case of known shapes. Analogously to light optics, the intensity distributions cover several orders of magnitude including complete extinction. The partly convergent (and divergent) caustic stripes originate from narrow zones of typical size of some 10−6 of the boundary curvature radius. For the deflection of plane wave synchrotron radiation (energy in the range of some keV to some ten keV) at rods and tubes of several μm diameter, we find good Agreement between experiments and modeling by ray tracing according to Snell’s law without additional diffraction contributions. Apart from Basic Research implications, caustics may influence the performance of irradiation technologies such as sterilization or molecular cross-linking.

A1 - Wöstmann, Jens T1 - Test specimen concepts in regard to quality assurance and validation of nondestructive testing in civil engineering N2 - The process of ensuring reliability of NDT applications contains various aspects, such as determining the performance and probability of success, the uncertainty in measurement, the provision of clear and functional procedures and ensuring the correct application accordingly. Test specimens have become powerful elements in supporting many of these aspects. Within the committee for NDT in Civil Engineering (NDT-CE) of the German Society for Nondestructive Testing (DGZfP), the subcommittee on Quality Assurance (UA-QS) therefore addresses the design and the integration of test specimens in the quality assurance process. Depending on the specific purpose, the requirements on test specimens can vary significantly based on the defined simulated scenario. The most prominent purposes of test specimens might be seen in providing references for inspection systems in regard to function control, calibration and validation. Further aspects can be parametric studies, basic investigation of physical principles related to NDT or a simplified and therefore comprehensive demonstration of inspection concepts (e.g. for teaching purposes). The specific purpose of a test specimen dictates the requirements regarding its conception, including the exact design, the material or the fabrication accuracy and the conditioning. In the development of a general guideline by the UA-QS for application-specific procedures and their validation, the use of test specimens is addressed and specific concepts for the design of test specimens are made. This includes the analysis of the measurement process regarding any given application, deriving an adequate calibration approach for it and designing test specimens (calibration specimens) accordingly. Furthermore, it includes the validation of the procedure taking into account all conditions related to the specific application in the field. The validation requires a statistically sufficient number of trials. Thorough evaluation of each trial can only be established if the ground-truth is known. Therefore, test specimens providing a realistic but controlled simulation of the inspection problem are valuable and indispensable elements in the validation process. The requirement of being fully realistic will often not be possible to fulfill due to practical restrictions. Any aspect that cannot be included in the simulation realistically needs to be simulated conservatively. This again, requires a sufficient understanding of the inspection principle and technique to ensure conservativeness. Among other quality-assurance-related aspects, the UA-QS establishes concepts and guidelines regarding sound and efficient approaches for the specific purposes of test specimens. This subcommittee brings together representatives of different Groups along the entire value chain of NDT-CE, including researchers, practitioners, manufacturers and clients. They all work together in establishing a common understanding and level of quality assurance in the industry.

The sensitivity of these two novel techniques to micro cracks is discussed and compared to standard traditional sensors. Moreover, the capacity of a DFOS technique to localize cracks and quantify crack openings is also assessed. The results show that the implementation of CWI and DFOS techniques allow the detection of early subtle changes in reinforced concrete structures until crack formation. With their ability to quantify the crack opening, following early detection and localization, DFOS techniques can achieve more effective monitoring of reinforced concrete structures. Contrary to discrete sensors, CWI and DFOS techniques cover larger areas and thus provide more efficient infrastructures asset management and maintenance operations throughout the lifetime of the structure.

T1 - Synchrotron phase-contrast CT to segment the structure boundaries of a TRISO-coated particle N2 - Tri-structural Isotropic (TRISO)-coated particle is the fission energy source and the first safety barrier in high temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs). The integrity of TRISO particle should be carefully tested before operation because the shape may affect the failure possibility of the particles, leading to increased risk of fission product release. Due to the large difference in density between the kernel and the coating layers in TRISO particles, traditional X-ray radiography cannot achieve a good image quality in terms of identifying coating layers reliably, while phase-contrast CThas the advantageof being sensitive to boundaries. This paperpresents a non-destructive test and evaluation (NDT&E) method to facilitate 3-dimensional (3D) measurement of a TRISO particle's structure, using a synchrotron phase-contrast CT. After reconstructed, the TRISO particle was rendered in a 3D space and the thickness and asphericity of the TRISO particle's layers were measured. It was found that the thickness of coating layers of the tested particle obeys Gaussian distribution. The deviation of thicknesses of the kernel and the other four layers is −2.42%, −16.32%, 26.51%, 0.98% and 7.49% compared with the design parameters. The deviation of asphericity of the kernel, IPyC and OPyC layers is −11.51%, −0.41% and 3.39%, respectively. The effect of the deviations on the temperature distribution and failure probability calculation of the particle will be investigated in the future.

T1 - Addressing the need to monitor concrete fatigue with nondestructive testing: Results of infrastar European project N2 - Fatigue is one of the most prevalent issues, which directly influences the service life expectancy of concrete structures. Fatigue has been investigated for years for steel structures. However, recent findings suggest that concrete structures may also be significantly subjected to fatigue phenomena that could lead to premature failure of certain structural elements. To date, fatigue of reinforced concrete has been given little focus. Knowledge on the influence factors and durability/capacity effects on this material should be improved. Current technological means to measure fatigue in civil structures like bridges and wind turbines (both onshore and offshore) are outdated, imprecise and inappropriate. Meanwhile, this topic has got much more attention as time-variant loading on concrete structures plays an increasing role, e.g. in bridges with increasing traffic and heavier trucks, and for wind turbines for renewable energy production, e.g. for offshore wind turbine support structures affected by wind and waves. The European Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project INFRASTAR (Innovation and Networking for Fatigue and Reliability Analysis of Structures - Training for Assessment of Risk) provides research training for 12 PhD students. The project aims to improve knowledge for optimizing the design of new structures as well as for more realistic verification of structural safety and more accurate prediction of the remaining fatigue lifetime of existing concrete structures. First, the INFRASTAR research framework is detailed. Then it will be exemplified through the presentation of the major results of the four PhD students involved in the work package dealing with auscultation and monitoring. This includes the development and improvement of Fiber Optics (FO) and Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI) for crack sizing and imagery, new sensor technologies and integration, information management, monitoring strategy for fatigue damage investigation and lifetime prediction.

The device and the corresponding software is the result of joint Research of BAM, an ultrasonic instrument manufacturer and University of Kassel, Germany. It consists of 12 separate Arrays of 32 point-contact shear wave transducers each, which can be deployed in flexible configurations. Each array is combined with battery and transmitter, receiver and wireless communication electronics. Three case histories are presented. First the system was deployed on a 5-m thick heavily reinforced foundation slab. The reflection of the slab’s bottom was imaged clearly. In addition, a multiple reflection was registered, thus giving hope that even thicker elements might be imaged by the instrument. Second, the LAUS was used to investigate a massive bridge girder where a heavy rainstorm during concreting had led to imperfections that were visible after removing the formwork was removed. The LAUS could image tendon ducts in 1.8m depth and the backwall closely behind them. Some limited areas showed blurred reflections and were checked by drill holes; these areas were affected by diffuse damage which could be repaired by injections. Third, a large retaining wall was checked for thickness. Meanwhile, the LAUS has been used in underground waste deposits (nuclear and other) for quality assurance of sealing plugs. A confirmed penetration depth of about 7 m has been reached.

A1 - Wöstmann, Jens T1 - NDT procedures in relation to quality assurance and validation of nondestructive testing in civil engineering N2 - The field of non-destructive testing of civil structures (NDT-CE) has been continuously growing. Due to the complexity and diversity of civil constructions as well as the heterogeneity of concrete, specific standards or guidelines for the application of modern NDT-CE are still missing. The development of individual solutions is the current approach, which is just as challenging as it is common for NDT-CE. With the increasing development and commercialization of NDT-CE technology, the group of practitioners is growing. To ensure a good level of quality in the industry, it appears necessary to establish adequate means. Naturally, the performance of NDT-CE methods regarding a specific application is strongly dependent on choosing the most suitable inspection technique and applying it correctly, generally referred to as the inspection procedure in the field of NDT. There are well-defined guidelines regarding procedure documentation and handling in many fields of NDT (e.g. nuclear, aerospace or automotive) according to the high importance of procedures in assuring a successful and reliable application. For a long time, this has not always been the case with NDT-CE, which is still considered a unique discipline of NDT. Part of the reason for that might be the young development state of NDTCE, the heterogeneity of building materials like concrete, timber or masonry as a material and the diversity of civil structures. In consequence, NDT-CE procedure development is considered challenging. Among other aspects, addressed in the subcommittee on Quality Assurance (UA-QS) within the committee for NDT-CE of the German Society for Nondestructive Testing (DGZfP), part of its work aims at establishing an adequate basis for NDT-CE procedure development. While some of the highly developed approaches from other industries are taken into consideration, they need to be analyzed regarding their suitability for NDT-CE and adapted accordingly. For a procedure to be as defined as possible, it needs to contain sufficient information, such as the scope and limitations regarding material, geometry and condition of the test object, inspection parameters, calibration, data acquisition, analysis criteria as well as requirements regarding the inspection personnel. For a successful implementation in the field, it is important to define the specific procedure as precisely as possible. Despite the necessity of a great amount of information to be included, the procedure needs to be suitable for efficient field application. The UA-QS is developing a guideline for NDT-CE procedures suitable for application in this field of NDT to ensure correct and reproducible application. To demonstrate and evaluate this concept, specific examples of procedures are also produced. In particular, the UA-QS has developed a procedure for the detection and positioning of tendon ducts using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR). This procedure is tested regarding the practical applicability in a roundrobin on a defined type of reference test block.

A numerical model is then built with the zone subjected to progressive damage, modeled using an orthotropic damage model. To each of the finite elements within this zone, a local coordinate system is assigned, with its longitudinal direction defined by local fiber orientations. Second, the parameters of the constitutive damage model are determined through inverse analysis using load-displacement data obtained from the test. These parameters are considered to clearly explain the material behavior for any arbitrary external action and fiber orientation, for the same geometrical properties and volumetric ratio of fibers. Third, the effectiveness of the resulting model is demonstrated using a second, “control” experiment. The results of the “control” experiment analyzed in this research compare well with the model results. The ultimate strength was predicted with an error of about 6%, while the work-of-load was predicted within 4%. It demonstrates the potential of this method for accurately predicting the mechanical performance of FRC components.

T1 - Non-invasive monitoring of blood glucose using optical methods for skin spectroscopy - opportunities and recent advances N2 - Diabetes mellitus is a widespread disease with greatly rising patient numbers expected in the future, not only for industrialized countries but also for regions in the developing world. There is a need for efficient therapy, which can be via self-monitoring of blood glucose levels to provide tight glycemic control for reducing the risks of severe health complications. Advancements in diabetes technology can nowadays offer different sensor approaches, even for continuous blood glucose monitoring. Non-invasive blood glucose assays have been promised for many years and various vibrational spectroscopy-based methods of the skin are candidates for achieving this goal. Due to the small spectral signatures of the glucose hidden among a largely variable background, the largest signal-to-noise ratios and multivariate calibration are essential to provide the method applicability for self-monitoring of blood glucose. Besides multiparameter approaches, recently presented devices based on photoplethysmography with wavelengths in the visible and near-infrared range are evaluated for their potential of providing reliable blood glucose concentration predictions.

The high levels of grey-scale precision required for the measurement of moisture without tracking agents resulted in the need for an additional image calibration procedure to correct for water-related X-ray scattering and for equipment-variability related artefacts arising during in-situ testing. This calibration procedure was developed on the basis of existing principles of XCT image cor-rection. Resulting images of moisture distribution exhibit a high level of agreement with expected material behaviour. This research demonstrated that XCT can be successfully used to measure both moisture-front movement over time and changes in 3D moisture distribution within samples. This approach to moisture measurement lays the groundwork for the planned future investigation of the interaction between cracking induced by varying chemical and mechanical processes and water transport in concrete.

In this study, the use of NMR as a tool for pore size characterization was investigated. For our study we used screed and synthetic materials at partial and full saturation. A successful determination could be achieved when having a reference or calibration method, although partly diffusion effects have been registered. Due to these diffusion effects, for the determination of pore size distributions of synthetic materials another NMR device was needed. Finally, the determination of the surface relaxivity of screed (50 μm/s) led to a higher value than first expected from literature.

Development of a technique based on UGWs requires careful understanding obtained through modelling and analysis of wave propagation and mode-damage interaction due to their dispersion and multimodal character. This presentation will provide insights into the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method and its applicability for tackling wave propagation problems. Features and limitations of the SBFEM will be presented on an example of a multi-layered plate structure consisting of isotropic and anisotropic materials bonded together. You will be guided through the process of picking up the wave modes for your application. Starting from the calculation of dispersion curves and mode shapes to the analysis of wave propagation and mode-damage interaction. The main highlight of the presentation lies in the ability to detect damage in a certain layer depending on the mode used. The resulting deeper understanding of the wave propagation in multi-layered structures is the key to further developments of NDT and SHM for engineering structures consisting of multiple layers.

Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers transmit and receive acoustic guided waves that interact with the elastic properties and the defects of the material under test. In recent years, DINFO developed piezopolymer Interdigital Transducers (IDTs) proven to be suitable to build SHM systems for aerospace applications. Their base material is a Cr/Au-coated PVDF-TrFE copolymer sheet, having a thickness of 100μm and a metallization of 0.1μm on both sides. IDTs are attractive for SHM systems for their capability to select specific Lamb wave modes when designed with appropriate electrode pattern. For a reliable application, it is crucial to characterize the in-plane and out-of-plane displacement of the transducer and to correlate the ultrasonic propagating signal with the Lamb waves dispersion curves in laminates. For example, for a 2 mm aluminum plate A0 mode has dominant out-of-plane displacement, whereas S0 mode has dominant in-plane displacement at the plate's surface. In collaboration with BAM the characterization of free vibrational modes using a 3D laser doppler vibrometer was performed. The analysis in the frequency domain was performed using the following parameters: a chirp excitation with frequencies 50-500 kHz and 0.5-1 MHz with 195 Hz and 390 Hz frequency resolution respectively at 100 Vpp for a total of 90 averaged measurements per point. Also propagating modes were characterized by bonding the IDT on a 2 mm aluminum plate and analyzing the in-plane and the out-of-plane components. A0-mode was successfully excited having the main lobe aligned with the main axis of the IDT, confirming the dominant presence of this propagating mode. The results could be used as a basis for design and optimization of the IDTs in terms of directivity and mode selection, and to facilitate interpretation of the ultrasonic guided waves propagating in laminated structures.

Dabei wird ein Schallpuls von einem Prüfkopf in ein Prüfobjekt eingebracht. Der Puls kann unter anderem durch Membranen oder Piezoelemente erzeugt werden und wird in der Regel durch direkten Kontakt oder über ein Koppelmittel an das Objekt übertragen. Luftgekoppelter Ultraschall spielt in kommerziellen Anwendungen bisher eine untergeordnete Rolle, da die Differenz der akustischen Impedanzen von Luft und Festkörpern immense Verluste beim Übergang des Schallsignals hervorruft. In diesem Beitrag soll ein neuartiges Anregungsprinzip vorgestellt werden, mit dem ein Großteil dieser Verluste vermieden wird. Anstelle eines Festkörpers soll mit Hilfe einer fluidischen Düse Druckluft zur Signalerzeugung eingesetzt werden. In dieser Düse wird eine selbsterhaltende Strömungsinstabilität erzeugt, die einen Schallpuls von bis zu 100 kHz hervorruft, sodass der Impedanzverlust in die Umgebungsluft entfällt. Da die charakteristische Frequenz eines fluidisch generierten Pulses maßgeblich von der Bauform der Düse und dem anliegenden Druck abhängt, lässt sich mittels einer geeigneten Strömungsregelung ein breiter Frequenzbereich zur Abtastung nutzen. Die so emittierten Pulse werden auf das Prüfobjekt gerichtet und die reflektierten Signale mit einem Laservibrometer an der Oberfläche des Objekts im Echo-Verfahren abgetastet. Von drei signalmindernden Materialübergängen bei gewöhnlichem luftgekoppeltem Ultraschall bleibt in dem hier vorgeschlagenen Messystem lediglich die Grenzfläche von Luft zu Prüfkörper, sodass eine höhere Signalausbeute als bisher erwartet werden kann.

T1 - Neue Konzepte zur Messung von Parametern der Brennflecke von Nano- und Mikrofokus-Röntgenröhren N2 - Die exakte Messung der Brennfleckgrößen von Röntgenröhren, Betatrons und Linear-Beschleunigern ist immer noch ein offenes Problem. Es existieren diverse Standards, die alle zu unterschiedlichen Resultaten führen in Abhängigkeit von der Brennfleckform. CEN hat 1999 die Serie EN 12543 (5 Teile) veröffentlicht, die die Messung der Brennfleckgrößen von Röntgenröhren für ZfP-Anwendungen beschreibt. Die Messprozeduren und Toleranzen unterscheiden sich von den Messstandards für medizinische Röntgenröhren, wie z. B. DIN EN 60336:2006 / IEC 60336:2005. EN 12543 beschreibt verschiedene Messmethoden für Standard-, Minifokus- und Mikrofokus-Röntgenröhren. CEN TC 138 WG 1 und ASTM E 07 revidieren bzw. revidierten daher die Standards zur Brennfleckmessung, wobei alle Messungen auf Pin-Hole- oder Kantenabbildungen zurückgeführt werden sollen. Die Schlitzblenden-Messung wird dann nur noch in der Medizin Anwendung finden. Es wurden auch tomographische Verfahren zur Rekonstruktion von Brennflecken vorgeschlagen. Die derzeit verfügbaren Standards decken den Bereich von 5 μm bis zu mehreren Millimetern ab. Mit der Entwicklung von Nanofokus-Röhren haben Hersteller unterschiedliche Verfahren zur Auflösungs- oder Brennfleckmessung eingeführt, deren Werte teilweise um den Faktor 2 unterschiedlich sind. Vorrangig wird hierbei auf ein JIMA-Target zurückgegriffen, dessen Auswertung die Detailerkennbarkeit widerspiegelt. Verschiedene Europäische Partner diskutieren derzeit Konzepte zur Messung von Brennflecken im Bereich von 100 nm bis 5 μm. Dabei werden hauptsächlich Messprozeduren zur Auswertung der Aufnahmen von Strichgruppenkörpern und kleinen Lochplatten untersucht. Als Ergebnis sollen Daten zur Brennflecklänge, -breite und -form bestimmt und standardisiert werden, um Produkte vergleichbar zu klassifizieren. Erste Konzepte hierzu und Ergebnisse früherer Untersuchungen werden vorgestellt.

A numerical method well suited for this purpose is the semi-analytical Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM). When applying this method, only the boundary of a computational domain is discretized using finite elements, while the interior is described by an analytical ansatz. Hence, the number of degrees of freedom is reduced significantly compared to the classical Finite Element Method (FEM). In recent years, a particular formulation of the SBFEM for the simulation of ultrasonic guided waves was developed. The method constitutes an efficient algorithm for prismatic structures of arbitrary length, such as plates, pipes, or beams. Wave propagation phenomena in such structures can be modeled for isotropic and anisotropic inhomogeneous waveguides. Even though the method is an efficient tool for the simulation of guided waves in solid media, a reliable model for the simulation of acoustic wave propagation in fluids as well as acoustic-structure interaction in terms of SBFEM is still missing. In principle, the fluid can be described by a displacement-based formulation and thus be implemented in existing SBFEM algorithms for solid bodies. However, due to the discretization with classical finite elements, spurious modes occur, which cannot be separated from the physical modes straightforwardly. The spurious modes can be suppressed using a penalty parameter. Although very accurate results were achieved for some problems, this procedure has been proven unreliable for certain cases. For this reason, we propose a different approach in this contribution. We employ a pressure model to simulate the acoustic behavior of fluids. The implementation of the pressure model results in a higher effort due to the necessity of incorporating coupling terms, but it presents a stable alternative without spurious modes. The accuracy of the method is demonstrated in comparison with analytical solutions and results obtained using the FEM.

In addition, age and degradation have a strong influence. Therefore, Ultrasound has been used to monitor concrete samples and structures since decades. However, early applications using conventional techniques as time-of flight or changes in amplitudes have been limited to detect changes in a late stage close to serviceability or ultimate load states. Around 2000, several new, more sensitive techniques adopted from geophysics or other field of material sciences have been introduced to research in ultrasonic monitoring of concrete. The most discussed methodologies are coda wave interferometry, a technique which allows to detect very subtle changes from repeated ultrasonic measurements. Nonlinear acoustic techniques help to identify e. g. cracks even in an inhomogeneous background. Both techniques can be combined. This paper reviews methods and results achieved so far on the laboratory scale and with full scale models the directions for future research and application is given as well.

In addition, age and degradation have a strong influence. Therefore, Ultrasound has been used to monitor concrete samples and structures since decades. However, early applications using conventional techniques as time-of flight or changes in amplitudes have been limited to detect changes in a late stage close to serviceability or ultimate load states. Around 2000, several new, more sensitive techniques adopted from geophysics or other field of material sciences have been introduced to research in ultrasonic monitoring of concrete. The most discussed methodologies are coda wave interferometry, a technique which allows to detect very subtle changes from repeated ultrasonic measurements. Nonlinear acoustic techniques help to identify e. g. cracks even in an inhomogeneous background. Both techniques can be combined. This paper reviews methods and results achieved so far on the laboratory scale and with full scale models the directions for future research and application is given as well.

J. T1 - Towards predictor development for assessing structural integrity of components made from wood materials using Acoustic Emission monitoring and signal analysis N2 - Against the background of sustainable resource management and efficiency, wood-based materials are currently experiencing a revival and, among others, plywood, Laminated Veneer Lumber and glued laminated timber are becoming increasingly more important in the building sector. Even though these materials are so-called engineered products, the element wood is naturally grown with intrinsic variability in mechanical properties and requires professional handling on-site. Otherwise, load-bearing structures made of wood materials may entail certain risks. Critical situations can, in principle, be avoided by implementing a structural health monitoring system into components or structures made from wood material. The aim is to indicate accumulation of mechanical damage and to eliminate or at least significantly reduce the risk of unexpected failure. Toward this purpose, the failure behavior of several layered wood materials under quasi-static tension was investigated in laboratory-scale experiments by means of acoustic emission (AE) measurement. Based on spectral analysis and pattern recognition, two classes of AE signals are identified for each investigated lay-up that are characterized by either low or high frequency contents in the respective power spectra. AE activity and intensity of both signal classes are analyzed, striving for predictors appropriate for AE monitoring concepts.

This includes but is not limited to the localization of construction features (thickness measurements, reinforcement, tendon ducts, and others) and damage detection (e. g. corrosion or cracks). However, there are still limitations, e. g. limited penetration depth and resolution, issues when testing hybrid steel/concrete structures as well as absence of standards and regulations. This presentation will show progress in some of these issues and will focus on advanced instrumentation and validation of ultrasonic NDT for concrete structures. Ultrasonic echo testing has been limited to a penetration depth of less than one meter in reinforced concrete. The development of the LAUS (Large Aperture Ultrasonic System), using a large array of ultrasonic transducers and wider offsets between transmitter and receiver, allows to reach up to 5 m in reinforced concrete and 9 m in unreinforced concrete. This capability has been demonstrated by collecting data from an engineered salt concrete barrier in an underground nuclear waste storage facility. Due to an increasingly competitive environment, commercial manufacturers will continue to develop equipment with enhanced penetration and/or increased resolution. To quantify the capabilities and reliability of ultrasonic tests, validation mockups with engineered flaws are required. EPRI and BAM have built a large-scale mockup at a test site close to Berlin (BAM-TTS, Horstwalde) using a design which is repeated at other places. This presentation will also cover the methods deployed on engineered flaws and the repeatability of the test results.

T1 - Usability of the written procedures: an eye tracking study N2 - Usability of the written procedures: an eye tracking study Non-destructive evaluation (NDE) is regarded as one of the key elements in ensuring quality of engineering systems and their safe use. A failure of NDE to detect critical defects in safety-relevant components, such as those in the nuclear industry, may lead to catastrophic consequences for the environment and the people. NDE inspection procedure is one of the most important tools in the everyday life of an NDE inspector. Experience and research studies have shown that NDE procedures are not always used as foreseen and may need to be optimized. Both the content and format play an important role in producing reliable procedures. Whereas the content aids in the understanding of the task and in its subsequent correct execution, the format determines the efficiency and frequency of the procedure’s use. For the purposes of this study, an inspection procedure - designed to be used in the inspection of components used in the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel - was further developed by adopting a user-centered design. This was achieved by following the eye movements during a data evaluation task whilst using the procedure, by interviews and group discussions, accompanied by a review from a human factors’ perspective, the suggestions from relevant literature and by reiterating the entire process once again. This process resulted in identifying shortcomings and in suggesting alterations to the existing procedure. The newly created procedure was empirically tested for its usability using eye tracking. By comparing the old instruction format to the newly developed one, the results showed that appropriately highlighting warnings, exceptions, or reminders, and placing them at a logical position assures that they will be read and identified with ease rather than overlooked. The presentation of the information in a stepwise manner, with one action per step, allows the user to follow more easily the steps that must be carried out to save time and effort. This study - the first of its kind in the field of non-destructive evaluation - showed that the procedure can be improved by applying human factors principles to the design and by involving the users into the process of procedure development and quality assurance. Introduction of the speaker – Marija Bertovic Marija Bertovic has a degree in psychology and a PhD in human factors. Since 2006 she has been working on topics related to human factors in non-destructive testing at the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, German Society for Non-Destructive Testing and as an independent consultant. The focus of her research has been on identifying and studying human factors’ related risks during NDT inspections and suggesting ways of optimizing the inspections and inspection procedures. She is currently a research staff member at BAM responsible for probabilistic safety and reliability analyses AND human factors analyses. She is the chairwoman of the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing’s (DGZfP) subcommittee on human machine interaction and the winner of the DGZfP Science Award in 2018.

T1 - Human-Factors in model-assisted POD approaches N2 - It is known that human factors (HF) affect the reliability of non-destructive testing (NDT). However, reliability is often expressed in probability of detection (POD) curves, obtained in practical trials, where human and organisational factors are considered only indirectly, through the few people taking part in the trials. Recently, we have observed an increase in the use of numerical modelling to obtain POD curves outside of practical trials. The so-called model-assisted POD(MAPOD) approaches have so far only very rarely included some kind of variation to account for HF. This talk presents different possibilities to include HF in MAPOD and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

The advances in NDT 4.0 lead to believe that by increased automation, people, and therefore human error, can be diminished. The research on human-automation interaction shows that increased automation does not necessarily lead to a decrease of human error, a phenomenon dubbed as “automation ironies”, introduced by Bainbridge in 1987. The research shows that whereas with automation the known human error can be prevented, there is still room for new risks and error sources, which are unknown. As we advance from automation to industry 4.0 concepts, the possibility for human error shifts slightly to the developers of systems but remains in the interaction with systems as well, as the tasks and task demands change and give rise for possible failure at different stages of the NDT process, as once known. In der traditionellen zerstörungsfreien Prüfung wird der Mensch als Hauptfehlerquelle angesehen. Die Fortschritte bei der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung 4.0 lassen vermuten, dass durch eine verstärkte Automatisierung Menschen und damit menschliche Fehler verringert werden können. Die Untersuchung der Mensch-Automatisierungs-Interaktion zeigt, dass eine zunehmende Automatisierung nicht unbedingt zu einer Verringerung des menschlichen Fehlers führt, ein Phänomen, das 1987 von Bainbridge als „Automatisierungs-Ironien“ bezeichnet wurde. Die Untersuchungen zeigten, dass obwohl bei der Automatisierung bekannte menschliche Fehler verhindert werden können, gibt es noch Raum für neue Risiken und Fehlerquellen, die unbekannt sind. Während wir von der Automatisierung zu Industrie-4.0-Konzepten übergehen, verlagert sich die Möglichkeit menschlicher Fehler geringfügig auf die Entwickler von Systemen, bleibt jedoch auch in der Interaktion mit Systemen erhalten, da sich die Aufgaben und Aufgabenanforderungen ändern und es zu möglichen Fehlern in verschiedenen Phasen von ZfP-Prozessen kommen kann.

Dazu, wurden prüfungsbezogene Risiken in der Praxis mittels Fehlzustandsart- und –auswirkungsanalyse (FMEA) analysiert sowie von den Prüfern empfundene Probleme während der Ausbildung und in der Praxis mittels Fragebogen identifiziert. Die Ergebnisse der FMEA haben gezeigt, dass während der gesamten ZfP-Prozesses Fehler auftreten können, für die Gegenmaßnahmen getroffen und implementiert werden sollten. Zu den vorgeschlagenen Gegenmaßnahmen zählen: Optimierung der Organisation, Prüftechnik, Dokumentation, Ausbildung, Arbeitsbedingungen und des Prüfprozesses. Die Auswertung der Fragebögen zeigte eine relativ große Zufriedenheit mit den zur Ausbildung bereitgestellten Prüfunterlagen. Hinsichtlich der Praxis tendierten die Antworten der Prüfer in Richtung Verbesserung der Prüfunterlagen, Arbeitsbedingungen vor Ort, Arbeitsvorbereitung im Werk und Anweisung/fachlichen Einweisung durch die Prüfaufsichten. Aus den Hinweisen und Erkenntnissen wurden einige Empfehlungen zur Optimierung der Prüfunterlagen, Kompetenzen und des Prüfprozesses erarbeitet. Es wurde empfohlen, die Qualität der Prüfunterlagen systematisch zu untersuchen und zusammen mit den Prüfern zu verbessern, um Missverständnisse bei der Nutzung der Prüfunterlagen zu minimieren und somit Fehler bei der Prüfung zu vermeiden. Eine weitere Empfehlung betraf die Entwicklung und das Angebot neuer Ausbildungsmodule zur Weiterbildung von Prüfaufsichten und Führungskräften, um ein Grundverständnis über Einflüsse auf die Qualität der Zerstörungsfreien Prüfungen zu schaffen. Zur Optimierung des gesamten ZfP-Prüfprozesses wird empfohlen, die mittels FMEA erarbeitete Liste möglicher Gegenmaßnahmen in der Praxis umzusetzen. Diese Liste sollte den Verantwortlichen zur Verfügung gestellt werden, um potenziell auftretende Fehler zu erkennen und zu vermeiden.

Despite this, there is so far no comprehensive workflow for the technical design of flow cells. Here, we present an approach that is suitable for the design of an NMR flow cell with an integrated static mixing unit. This design moves the mixing of reactants to the active NMR detection region within the NMR instrument, presenting a feature that analyses chemical reactions faster (5–120 s region) than other common setups. During the design phase, the targeted mixing homogeneity of the components was evaluated for different types of mixing units based on CFD simulation. Subsequently, the flow cell was additively manufactured from ceramic material and metal tubing. Within the targeted working mass flow range, excellent mixing properties as well as narrow line widths were confirmed in validation experiments, comparable to common glass tubes.

T1 - Blind structured illumination as excitation for super-resolution photothermal radiometry N2 - Photothermal radiometry with an infrared camera allows the contactless temperature measurement of multiple surface pixels simultaneously. A short light pulse heats the sample. The heat propagates through the sample by diffusion and the corresponding temperature evolution is measured at the sample’s surface by an infrared camera. The main drawback in radiometric imaging is the loss of the spatial resolution with increasing depth due to heat diffusion, which results in blurred images for deeper lying structures. We circumvent this information loss due to the diffusion process by using blind structured illumination, combined with a non-linear joint sparsity reconstruction algorithm. The structured illumination is realized by parallel laser lines from a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) array controlled by a random binary pattern generator. By using 150 different patterns of structured illumination and our iterative joint sparsity algorithm, it was possible to resolve 1 mm thick lines at a distance down to 0.5 mm, which results in a resolution enhancement of approximately a factor of four compared to the resolution of 5.9 mm for homogenous illuminated thermographic reconstruction.

Als Ausgangspunkt wird zunächst die Quellenlage betrachtet. In der Literatur über Thermografie spielt Heißluft als Wärmequelle nur in weniger als 0,1% eine Rolle, die Ursache dafür ist nicht bekannt. Es wird vermutet, dass dieser Erwärmungsmethode unterstellt wird, sie hätte Nachteile bezüglich Homogenität der Erwärmung sowie Leistungseintrag. In einer der raren Publikationen über einen Verfahrensvergleich schnitt die Heißluft-Thermografie jedoch nicht schlechter als die Vergleichsverfahren mit optischer Anregung ab, bei gleichzeitig deutlichem Zeitgewinn und geringerem technischen Aufwand. Danach wird der fertige Versuchsaufbau mit seinen wesentlichen Komponenten dargestellt. Der Einfluss der Geometrie der Luftaustrittsdüse auf die erreichbare Wärmeverteilung an einem flachen Blech wurde an mehreren Düsen untersucht. Hierbei erwies sich eine langgestreckte Umlenkdüse mit einer Strahlumlenkung von etwa 20° als optimal zur Erzeugung einer möglichst homogenen Erwärmung. Ein weiterer zu optimierender Parameter war die erreichbare Schaltdynamik des Heißgasstromes. Beim schnellen Schalten großer Volumenströme treten Druckstöße mit entsprechenden Temperaturänderungen auf. Hinzu kommt, dass der verwendete MFC (mass flow controller) bei großen Volumenströmen zum Einschwingen bei Schaltprozessen neigt. Daher enthält der Aufbau einen offenen Bypass zur Stabilisierung des Volumenstroms. Mit dem so realisierten Messplatz wurde die Reproduzierbarkeit der erzielten Erwärmung durch mehrfache Wiederholungsmessungen über einen längeren Zeitraum untersucht. Hierzu wurde ein auch zu Validierungszwecken genutzter PVC-Block mit 13 mm Dicke jeweils für 60 s erwärmt und die Oberflächentemperatur des PVC-Blocks mit einer IR-Kamera aufgezeichnet. Bei jeweiligem Neuaufbau ohne Justierhilfe ergab sich eine Reproduzierbarkeit von etwa 22% bei 5 Versuchen. Unter Nutzung einer Justierhilfe (Schablone für Abstand in der Kamerasoftware) ließ sich die Reproduzierbarkeit auf 5% bei 7 Versuchen reduzieren. Ein weiterer zu klärender Punkt war der erzielbare Wärmeeintrag im Vergleich zu einer Anregung mit Blitzlampen. Hierzu wurde eine Messung mit 60 s Heißluftheizung direkt mit einer Evaluierungsmessung mit Blitzlampen am gleichen PVC-Probekörper mit 4 FBB an der Rückseite verglichen. Die Inhomogenität der Erwärmung wurde durch eine Phasenauswertung unterdrückt. Die Phasenauswertung gestattete den Nachweis aller 4 FBB, wobei das Signal zu Rausch-Verhältnis bei der Heißlufterwärmung deutlich besser war. Der direkte Vergleich der Temperaturkurven zeigt, dass bei 60 s Heizlufterwärmung ca. 4,5 mal mehr Energie als bei der Blitzanregung vom Probekörper absorbiert wurde. Hieraus lässt sich die eingekoppelte Heizleistung mit 100 mW/cm² abschätzen. Das entspricht in etwa dem Niveau, wie es auch mit bewegten Halogenstrahlern, bewegten IR-Strahlern oder der Sonne erreicht wird. Diese Ergebnisse belegen, dass eventuell vorhandene Vorbehalte gegenüber einer Heißluft als Wärmequelle für die aktive Thermografie zumindest für thermisch langsame Materialien wie Kunststoffe oder mineralische Baustoffe unbegründet sind. Die Einsatzgrenzen bei der Untersuchung thermisch schnellerer Materialien wie Metalle steht noch aus, hier ist mit Abstrichen zu rechnen. Auf der anderen Seite lässt eine mögliche Düsenoptimierung noch deutliche Verbesserungen erwarten.

T1 - Air-coupled ultrasonic ferroelectret receiver with additional bias voltage N2 - High sensitivity is an important requirement for air-coupled ultrasonic sensors applied to materials testing. With a lower acoustic impedance than any piezoelectric material, charged cellular polypropylene (PP) offers better matching to air with a similar piezoelectric coefficient. The piezoelectric properties of charged cellular PP originate from their polarization, creating permanent internal voltage. The sensitivity of the sensor can be increased by applying additional dc bias voltage, as it has been done already for transmitters. This work presents the first ultrasonic sensor based on charged cellular PP including a high-voltage module providing dc bias voltage up to 2 kV. This bias voltage led to an increase in the signal-to-noise ratio of up to 15 ± 1 dB. The measurement of the received signal depending on the applied bias voltage is proposed as a new method of determining the internal voltage of ferroelectrets. The sensor combined with a cellular PP transmitter was applied to nondestructive testing of a rotor blade segment and glued-laminated timber, enabling imaging of the internal structure of these specimens with a thickness around 4 cm.

During this process, vaporization, dehydration, moisture-transport and condensation processes interact. As a result, a drying and dehydration zone as well as a saturated zone, known as a moisture clog, are observed inside the unilaterally-heated concrete. The presented research is focused on the experimental investigation of the underlying thermohydraulic processes. To investigate these, a test methodology based on X-ray computed tomography (CT) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was developed. Thereby, the X-ray CT scans are carried out simultaneously during the application of a defined unilateral-heating regime on a specially-constructed specimen. This miniaturized specimen, equipped with a double-layer casing, reproduces the condition within a planar, unilaterally-heated building component. A preliminary test methodology and the first experimental results were presented at the 5th International Workshop on Concrete Spalling in Borås, Sweden (2017). The contribution for the upcoming workshop presents an improved version of this test methodology and new results for a high-performance concrete (HPC) mixture exposed to temperatures up to 500 °C. Regarding the CT measurements, a higher time-resolution of 15 min was achieved and a quantification of the moisture changes was implemented. Due to an increase in signal quality of the NMR measurements, a pore-size specific moisture distribution can now be resolved. This allows to conclude about the moisture reconfiguration between small gel pores and larger interhydrate pores. Additionally, the NMR measurement are no longer limited to first 2.5 cm below the heated surface but a one-dimensional moisture distribution can now be estimated over the whole 10 cm long specimen. The presented results demonstrate that the combination of X-ray CT and NMR measurements enables to image and quantify the thermally-induced moisture transport and reconfiguration from small gel pores up to macro pores. This provides important insights into the thermohydraulic damage mechanism and leads to a better understanding of spalling avoidance strategies, like the addition of polypropylene fibres.

This study focuses on methods to quantify the differences in physical properties as a function of direction, i.e. their anisotropy, and how it can be linked to measures of anisotropy of the internal structure of the material. The auto-correlation function gives a similarity measure in the volume as a function of distance and direction. This is a cross-correlation of the image with itself fast to compute and relatively insensitive to noise. It is why we focus on this method to compare with the physical property of our DPF material. Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) materials are porous ceramics that; a) can be used at very high temperatures; b) have very good thermal shock resistance; c) are inert; d) can be manufactured with tailored porosity. Their usual way of production consists of the extrusion of a slurry into the desired filter shape, with successive ceramming at high temperature. This process causes anisotropy at both microscopic and macroscopic levels.

T1 - SHM using Guided Waves – Recent Activities and Advances in Germany N2 - Issues that prevent Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) based on Guided Waves (GW) from being a part of today’s monitoring solutions in industry are not all obvious to the scientific community. To uncover and overcome these issues, scientists working on SHM and GW problems joined in an expert committee under the patronage of the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing. An initiated online survey among more than 700 experts and users reveals the hurdles hindering the practical application of GWbased SHM. Firstly, methods for proof of reliability of SHM approaches are missing. Secondly, detailed understanding of phenomenological described wave-damage interactions is needed. Additionally, there are significant unsolved implementation issues and unsolved problems of signal processing including handling of environmental influences. To enable substantial proof of reliability without unaffordable experimental effort also efficient simulation tools including realistic damage interaction are needed, enabling the joint use of experimental and simulated data to predict the capabilities of the Monitoring system. Considering these issues, the committee focusses on simulation, signal processing, as well as probability of detection and standardization. In the presented work, recent activities of the expert committee starting with survey results are summarized. An open access data basis of life-like measurements is presented to allow testing and comparison of signal processing and simulation algorithms. Finally, a strategy for efficient proof of reliability increasing the acceptance of SHM in industry and for successful Integration of SHM into real-world engineering structures is proposed.

Da diese eine Inhomogenität darstellen, genügt jegliche Mess- und Datenverarbeitungstechnik, die diese Inhomogenität als Kontrast in der transienten Temperaturverteilung herausarbeitet. Ein üblicher Ansatz ist eine extrem kurze und intensive Blitzlampenbeleuchtung zusammen mit einer nachträglichen Fourier-Transformation zu verwenden. Für die zusätzliche Tiefenbestimmung werden entweder rein phänomenologische Ansätze, semi-analytische Ansätze mit Kalibrationsmessungen oder Fits an analytische bzw. numerische Modelle verwendet. Ein üblicher semi-analytischer Ansatz ist z.B. die Analyse des Abknickens der transienten Abkühlkurve. Problematisch ist das schnelle Abklingen der Amplitude auf Rauschniveau und damit die inhärente Beschränkung der Tiefenreichweite. Eine äquivalente Beschreibung der Wärmeleitung ist über sehr stark gedämpfte thermische Diffusionswellen möglich. Die Eindringtiefe ist dann gleich der thermischen Diffusionslänge. Der semi-analytische Ansatz über normales Least-Squares-Fitting funktioniert für 1D-Schicht-Systeme sehr gut, versagt aber für höherdimensionale Messprobleme. Genau hier setzt eine seit Kurzem bekannte Transformation der diffusen Temperaturentwicklung (bzw. des Realteils der Diffusionswelle) in eine propagierende virtuelle Temperaturwelle an. Dieses sog. Virtual-Wave-Konzept stellt sich selbst als ein weiteres inverses Problem dar. Der Nutzen dieser in einer linearen virtuellen Zeitdomäne propagierenden Welle überkompensiert den numerischen Mehraufwand jedoch deutlich. Zusammen mit neuen Technologien in der Erwärmung durch Hochleistungs-Laser-Arrays und in der Datenakquisition durch kHz-Kameras erlaubt dieser Ansatz eine signifikante Verbesserung der Tiefenreichweite in der Impuls-Thermografie. Im Beitrag werden experimentelle Ergebnisse an einer additiv hergestellten Metallprobe mit überdeckten Schlitzen vorgestellt, die eine Detektion dieser Defekte bis zu einem Seitenverhältnis von Defektbreite/Defekttiefe ~ 0,25 erlauben, also ca. 4 mal tiefer als die übliche Faustformel.

T1 - Blind structured illumination as excitation for super-resolution photothermal radiometry N2 - Photothermal radiometry with an infrared camera allows the contactless temperature measurement of multiple surface pixels simultaneously. A short light pulse heats the sample. The heat propagates through the sample by diffusion and the corresponding temperature increase is measured at the samples surface by an infrared camera. The main drawback in radiometric imaging is the loss of the spatial resolution with increasing depth due to heat diffusion, which results in blurred images for deeper lying structures. We circumvent this information loss due to the diffusion process by using blind structured illumination, combined with a non-linear joint sparsity reconstruction algorithm.
