TY - CONF A1 - Woydt, Mathias A1 - Mohrbacher, H. T1 - The background for the use of hardmetals and MMCs based on niobium carbide (NbC) as cutting tools and for wear resistant tribosystems N2 - In this present study, the mechanical properties (strength, hardness, moduli) and the dry sliding properties of stoichiometric and sub-stoichiometric NbC were compared. Microhardness and elastic properties of NbC depend from the C/Nb ratio, because the binary phase diagram Nb-C shows a region of homogeneity of NbCx of 0,72≤ x ≤1.0. At RT, hard metals of stoichiometric NbC have an elastic modulus E of ~440 GPa, those of substochiometric NbC0,88 an E of 405 GPa. The hot hardness of sub-stoichiometric NbC is above 600°C higher than of WC. The dry sliding wear resistance (0,1-7/10 m/s) of the present Fe3Al-NbC0,94 with ~61 vol.-% NbC as hard phase was close to those known of NbC-based hard metals. No grain pull-outs or fragmentations of the NbC grains were seen in the wear tracks of the Fe3Al-NbC composite (MMC), as a metallurgical interphase was formed between matrix and NbC grains. Stoichiometric and sub-stoichiometric niobium carbides have at RT and 400°C under dry sliding a prone intrinsic wear resistance more or less independent from sliding speed, either as hardmetal or as hard phase in metal matrix composite, associated with an exceptional high load carrying capacity.

T1 - Near real-time reconstruction of 2D soil gas distribution from a regular network of linear gas sensors N2 - A monitoring method is introduced that creates, in near real-time, two-dimensional (2D) maps of the soil gas distribution. The method combines linear gas sensing technology for in-situ monitoring of gases in soil with the mapping capabilities of Computed Tomography (CT) to reconstruct spatial and temporal resolved gas distribution maps. A weighted iterative algebraic reconstruction method based on Maximum Likelihood with Expectation Maximization (MLEM) in combination with a source-by-source reconstruction approach is introduced that works with a sparse setup of orthogonally-aligned linear gas sensors. The reconstruction method successfully reduces artifact production, especially when multiple gas sources are present, allowing the discrimination between true and non-existing so-called ghost source locations. A first experimental test indicates the high potential of the proposed method for, e.g., rapid gas leak localization.

T1 - Identifizierung von sicherheitstechnisch gefährlichen Bedingungen für schlagartige Kompressionsvorgänge chemisch instabiler Gase im industriellen Maßstab N2 - Tetrafluorethen wird von der Polymerindustrie seit Jahrzenten als monomeres Ausgangsmaterial sowohl für die Herstellung von Polymeren (PTFE) als auch für Kopolymere (PCTFE) eingesetzt. Aufgrund seiner Eigenschaft als chemisch instabiles Gas kann TFE auch ohne Luftsauerstoff oder einen anderen Oxydator explosionsartig zerfallen. Nach der Initiierung des Zerfalls kann dieser unter bestimmten Bedingungen aufgrund des exothermen Reaktionsverhaltens sich selbstständig in Apparaten und Rohrleitungen ausbreiten. Dies geht aufgrund der freigesetzten Reaktionsenthalpie mit einem schlagartigen Anstieg von Druck und Temperatur einher, was zu erheblichen Belastungen der Materialien bis hin zum Versagen und Bruch und möglichen Folgeschäden einschließlich Personenschäden führen kann und in der Vergangenheit bereits mehrfach geführt hat. Besonders nach Wartungsarbeiten besteht die Gefahr, dass Teilabschnitte im Rohrleitungssystem mit TFE, Stickstoff oder Luft gefüllt sind mit Drücken in einem Bereich zwischen technischem Vakuum und atmosphärischem Druck wohingegen angrenzende Rohrabschnitte oder Behälter immer noch TFE bei Betriebsdrücken bis 32 bar enthalten können. Dabei sind die Abschnitte in der Praxis häufig durch Kugelhähne voneinander getrennt, die aufgrund ihrer Öffnungscharakteristik bereits bei geringen Betätigungswinkeln eine große Querschnittsfreigabe für die Strömung im Rohr ermöglichen. Dadurch können schlagartige Kompressionsvorgänge des Gases im Niederdruckbereich ermöglicht werden, die allein aufgrund der thermodynamischen Zustandsänderung zu einer erheblichen Temperaturerhöhung führen und im schlimmsten Fall zur Initiierung der Zerfallsreaktion führen können. Es wird erstmalig ein Versuchsaufbau im Industriemaßstab, der einer explosionsartigen Zerfallsreaktion von TFE standhalten kann. Zahlreiche Sicherheitskonzepte einschließlich diverser Berstscheibenkonfigurationen als auch zeitgesteuerte Schnellschlussventile wurden eingehend untersucht und bewertet, um die optimale Versuchskonfiguration für bestmögliche Reproduzierbarkeit festzulegen. Es fand eine systematische Untersuchung der schlagartigen Kompression der Systeme Luft/Luft, TFE/Luft, TFE/TFE und TFE/N2 statt. In der Hochdrucksektion wurden Drücke bis 30 bar realisiert und im Niederdrucksektor konnten Anfangsdrücke im Bereich weniger Millibar bis hin zu Atmosphärendruck eingestellt werden. Als Hauptergebnis wurde ein „Hazard diagram" erstellt, mit dessen Hilfe die Zündwahrscheinlichkeit in Abhängigkeit vom Hochdruck und Niederdruck abgeschätzt werden kann. Gefährliche Bedingungen in Rohrleitungen können dadurch auf einfachem Weg identifiziert werden. Als Referenzsystem zur Beurteilung der maximal erreichbaren nicht reaktiven Kompressionstemperaturen wurde Luft/Luft verwendet. Die damit ermittelten Daten dienten zur Bewertung von zusätzlichen exothermen Effekten, wie sie etwa bei Vorreaktion des TFE im Falle einer Dimerisierung auftreten können. Entgegen der ursprünglichen Annahme konnten die Systeme TFE/Stickstoff und TFE/TFE im verwendeten Aufbau nicht durch Kompressionsvorgänge gezündet werden. T2 - 12.

The dry sliding wear resistance (0. 1-7 /10 m/s) of the present Fe3Al-NbC with -60 % NbC was close to those known ofNbC-based hard metals.

Aufgrund des breiten Explosionsbereichs (4 Vol.-% - 74 Vol.-%) reagiert Wasserstoff sehr schnell und produziert hohe Flammentemperaturen. Da Wasserstoffflammen ruß- bzw. farblos sind, ist Wärmestrahlung im Fernfeld kein Risikofaktor. Allerdings stellen die hohe lokale Wärmestrahlung und die nicht sichtbaren Flammen eine Gefahr für Menschen und Infrastruktur in der Nähe dar. Es ist daher notwendig die Gefahren von LH2-Feuern sorgfältig zu bewerten. Einerseits sind experimentelle Untersuchungen verschiedener Szenarien teuer, andererseits können sie teilweise auch praktisch nicht durchführbar sein. Numerische Simulationen dieser Szenarien können ein Ausweg aus diesem Problem sein. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird ein solcher Ansatz genutzt, um große Brandszenarien mit LH2 mittels CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) zu modellieren und so die notwendigen Sicherheitsabstände abzuschätzen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Simulation von Jet- und Pool-Feuerszenarien mit einem kommerziellen CFD-Code (Ansys CFX). Die benötigten geometrischen Modelle werden für Jet- und Pool-Feuer erstellt und mit den nötigen Randbedingungen implementiert. Wichtige Submodelle für chemische Reaktionen (Einschritt- und detaillierte Modelle), Verbrennung (Eddy-Dissipation- und Flamelet-Modell) und Strahlung (Discrete-Transfer-Modell) werden genutzt. Die maximal simulierten Flammentemperaturen liegen bei ~2100 K für Jet-Feuer und ~2300 K für Pool-Feuer. Um Aussagen zu thermischen Sicherheitsabständen zu treffen, wurden die Spezifischen Ausstrahlungen (SEP) ermittelt und anschließend entsprechende Positionsfaktoren gewählt, um verlässliche Sicherheitsabstände zu berechnen. Je nach Bedarf können CFD-Modelle sowohl für qualitative als auch für quantitative Risikobewertungen von LH2-Großbränden genutzt werden. T2 - 12.

N2 - Crack initiation and propagation in a brittle material is modeled in the finite-element-framework by an extended thermodynamical phase field formulation. The sharp crack discontinuity is transferred into a degradation phase field by a regularisation that ensures a continous transition between crack and residual material. The model of a C(T)-specimen under monotonic increasing load was simulated. The results were compared with analytical results of linear-elastic fracture mechanics. Crack kinking was simulated on a specimen with holes. Crack initiation was studied one a model of a three-point bending specimen. The knowledge and modeling of a predefined crack path is not required with the application of this model and provides the ability to calculate complex crack topologies. T2 - 48.

A1 - Ziegler, Mathias T1 - Spatial and temporal control of thermal waves by using DMDs for interference based crack detection N2 - Active Thermography is a well-established non-destructive testing method and used to detect cracks, voids or material inhomogeneities. It is based on applying thermal energy to a samples’ surface whereas inner defects alter the nonstationary heat flow. Conventional excitation of a sample is hereby done spatially, either planar (e.g. using a lamp) or local (e.g. using a focused laser) and temporally, either pulsed or periodical. In this work we combine a high power laser with a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) allowing us to merge all degrees of freedom to a spatially and temporally controlled heat source. This enables us to exploit the possibilities of coherent thermal wave shaping. Exciting periodically while controlling at the same time phase and amplitude of the illumination source induces – via Absorption at the sample’s surface - a defined thermal wave propagation through a sample. That means thermal waves can be controlled almost like acoustical or optical waves. However, in contrast to optical or acoustical waves, thermal waves are highly damped due to the diffusive character of the thermal heat flow and therefore limited in penetration depth in relation to the achievable resolution. Nevertheless, the coherence length of thermal waves can be chosen in the mmrange for modulation frequencies below 10 Hz which is perfectly met by DMD technology. This approach gives us the opportunity to transfer known technologies from wave shaping techniques to thermography methods. We will present experiments on spatial and temporal wave shaping, demonstrating interference based crack detection.

T1 - Quantification of the value of structural health monitoring information for fatigue deteriorating structural systems N2 - This paper addresses the quantification of the value of structural health monitoring (SHM) before its implementation for structural systems on the basis of its Value of Information (VoI). The value of SHM is calculated utilizing the Bayesian pre-posterior decision analysis modelling the structural life cycle performance, the integrity management and the structural risks. The relevance and precision of SHM information for the reduction of the structural system risks and the expected cost of the structural integrity management throughout the life cycle constitutes the value of SHM and is quantified with this framework. The approach is focused on fatigue deteriorating structural steel systems for which a continuous resistance deterioration formulation is introduced. In a case study, the value of SHM for load monitoring is calculated for a Daniels system subjected to fatigue deterioration. The influence of and the value of SHM in regard to the structural system risks and the integrity management is explicated and explained. The results are pointing to the importance of the consideration of the structural system risks for the quantification of the value of SHM.

T1 - Modelling of propagation with SPH of 1966 Aberfan flowslide: special attention to the role of rheology and pore water pressure N2 - Landslides can cause major economic damage and a large number of casualities as it is possible to see from past events occurred all over the world. Being able to predict these kind of hazards would then suppose the achievement of great benefits. Here a model that combines a depth integrated description of the soil-pore fluid mixture together with a set of 1D models dealing with pore pressure evolution within the soil mass is presented. The mathematical model is based on the Biot-Zienkiewicz equations, from where a depth averaged model is derived. Concerning the material behaviour, the approach used is the one suggested by the Perzyna viscoplasticity, which has been extensively used in the past to model solid behaviour prior to failure. In this framework, a simple shear rheological model is derived, providing the basal friction needed in depth integrated models. The Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) has been the numerical technique chosen to spatially discretised the depth integrated equations of the mathematical model. The purpose of this work is to apply the SPH depth integrated numerical model, together with the sub-model that predicts the evolution of the pore water pressure inside the landslide, to simulate the propagation phase of the Aberfan flowslide occurred in 1966.

Comparison of the different national approaches and distances for Shells derived from Shellcalc© highlights the variety and derivation of the “safety distances” adopted and these distances are related to the various failure modes of Shells that may affect the audience. In particular the effects of angled mortars and wind are compared and considered. It is not intended that this paper should encourage the maximum distances derived always to be adopted, but that an appreciation of the probabilities and hazards of various accident scenarios and therefore the risks involved be part of the decision making process for designers and commissioners of displays as well as enforcing authorities.

The current Version of this Standard provides mortar dimension limits to be used for the assessment of burst heights of spherical Shells, but lacks corresponding provisions for cylindrical shells. The aim of this study was threefold: 1. To check whether the requirements for spherical shells would overlap with the ones for cylindrical shells, 2. To compare several test procedures for height measurements with each other to minimize the measurement uncertainty of the effect dimensions, and 3. To evaluate drift distances in order to check whether the current national provisions on safety distances for Professional fireworks displays need adaption during the implementation of the new European directive 2013/29/EU on pyrotechnics in German legislation. For this study, a large number of cylindrical shells was specifically manufactured to guarantee lull control on all relevant constructional aspects. These shells were designed with a smoke tracer and no burst Charge so that they would fall back to the ground in order to investigate their drift distances. Their gross mass corresponded to commercially available display shells, though, consisting of defined inert substances inside the shell. The following Parameters were varied in this study: caliber (75 mm, 100 mm, 150 mm), shell length per caliber (single and double length), lift Charge (hard and soft burst effect), mortar length per caliber (short and long). In total, more than 120 shells were manufactured and tested. Results show a good application of the proposed test procedures regarding the mortar dimensions given in the Standard series for cylindrical shells as well. The following test procedures were part of this study: Radar Doppler System, video grammetric System, universal surveying instruments, and mortar internal pressure measurements. Observed drift distances in relation to the caliber and effect heights are discussed and assessed.

For the calibration of these thermometers a new European Standard prEN 16465 was published in 2015, describing the well-known contact method and a new contactless method with a pyrometer. It can be confirmed that the temperature calibrations according to the two methods provide different calibration results which are not interchangeable (which is already stated in the scope of this standard). The described contactless method to determine the surface temperature 'under radiation load' results in clearly too high temperatures. This paper tries to highlighting the reasons.

T1 - A new irradiation device for medium scale plastic products N2 - A new irradiation device for the exposure of plastic products is presented. Developed in the BAM division 3.1 "Dangerous Goods Packaging" it can be used for artificial UV irradiation of plastic Containers filled with hazardous liquids. Present regulations and tests only investigate the exposure effects of UV and of media separately, but as the damaging effect is expected to be synergistic for at least some media, a combined test was looked for. A chamber of 60 cm by 60 cm base area and 1 m height gives space for up to 40 cm wide objects. Two fluorescent UV lamp arrays are arranged on opposite walls, separated from the chamber by quartz glass panes. By continuously rotating the exposure object by means of a rotary disc that the object is placed on, spatial irradiation homogeneity is achieved over the exposure duration. The spectral irradiance of the chosen UVA 340 nm lamps gives the best match of global solar radiation in the short wavelength ränge. The close arrangement of the UVA lamps (15 each side) results in 60 W m'2 UV irradiance. Constant temperature is adjusted to typically 40 °C by the control of the fan speed. This temperature is chosen, as it is the required temperature for three week storage of filled polyethylene Containers, for proving Chemical compatibility in the field of dangerous goods. To ensure homogeneity, an interiorfan provides for air circulation.

Nevertheless, some of them are not reliable enough and in general the application of electrochemical methods in the field becomes difficult because of a required deep understanding of corrosion phenomena and measurement technology. A new approach for the evaluation of the pitting corrosion susceptibility of stainless Steel surfaces in the laboratory as well as in the field is frequently demanded by representatives of the metalworking industry. Therefore, the KorroPad-test was invented and patented as part of a research project at the BAM Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing in Germany.

A1 - Neitzel, F. T1 - Inverse finite element adjustment of material parameters from integrated analysis of displacement field measurement N2 - The integration of finite element method (FEM) into the least-squares adjustment presented in [1] is further extended for a joint evaluation of an elastostatic model and displacement field measurement. For linear solids which obey the HOOKE's law, the material parameters determination from measurements is being examined. In many literature, see for example [2], parameters are iteratively tuned until the computed FEM results are in accordance with the measurements. In contrast to these debatable approaches, we follow a rigorous and direct method. The “classical” FEM procedure starts with known material constants and ends up with computed fields such as dis-placement or temperature field. We present a method to invert the FEM procedure using the most general least-squares adjustment – the GAUSS-HELMERT Model (GHM). From given fields, the material parameters are directly calculated.
