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.

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.

Dazu wurden mittels Fused Layer Modeling (FLM) Probekörper aus ABS hergestellt, die anschließend für drei Monate einer künstlichen Bewitterung unterzogen wurden. Die dabei erzeugte definierte Alterung wurde nach drei Zeitabschnitten jeweils mit zerstörungsfreien Methoden charakterisiert. Dabei wurde neben den spektroskopischen Standardmethoden auch die aktive Thermografie eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich mittels der Thermografie sowohl chemische Veränderungen als auch mechanische Schädigungen (Fehlstellen) darstellen lassen. Die Bewitterung beeinflusst die Teiltransparenz der Proben zumindest im sichtbaren Spektralbereich, was bei der Charakterisierung der Fehlstellen, die mittels optisch angeregter aktiver Thermografie detektiert wurden, berücksichtigt werden muss.

A1 - Powierza, Bartosz T1 - Transport and reconfiguration of moisture in HPC due to unilateral heating N2 - Explosive spalling is caused by, among others, the thermohydraulic spalling mechanism. 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.

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.

Modern lightweight components are typically manufactured by a composition of different types of e.g. steels, metals, fiber reinforced plastics and glass. Dependent on the material combinations e.g. welding, brazing, bonding, cladding or coating may be applied during the manufacturing process to join different semi-finished products to form the component. The resulting complex material composition and different damage mechanisms pose new challenges to non-destructive testing with ultrasound due to the different material properties and the overall arrangement of the materials employed. The sound field variation capabilities of array probes may be helpful to overcome some of these challenges if adapted to the specific inspection task. Examples for the non-destructive mechanized phased array inspection of different types of materials and joining methods will be presented.
