Um einen flexiblen Prüfeinsatz und die Prüfbarkeit von einfachen sowie komplexen Geometrien zu gewährleisten, werden dort oftmals Vorlaufkeile für die Winkelprüfung mit Longitudinalwellen angewendet um eine Anzeigenschräglage und deren Reflektivität auszugleichen bzw. zu verbessern. Durch den unterschiedlichen Aufbau, im Vergleich zu integrierten Scherwellen-Winkelprüfköpfen, können jedoch während der Prüfung Fehlanzeigen generiert werden. Diese fehlerhaften Anzeigen beruhen auf Mehrfachreflexionen und Wellenumwandlungen innerhalb des Vorlaufkeils, aufgrund der Geometrie und können im Feld nur bedingt von realen Anzeigen unterschieden werden. Dieser Beitrag zeigt die geometrische Betrachtung bei der Verwendung von Vorlaufkeilen und wurde experimentell durch die Bestimmung der Richtcharakteristik und dem Einsatz von elektrodynamischen Sonden validiert. Des Weiteren ermöglichen die so gewonnenen Abhängigkeiten einen vom Keilwinkel abhängigen Verstärkungsausgleich und somit eine korrekte Größenbestimmung durch einen geeigneten Vergleichsfehler.

To increase the understanding of their effect on the fatigue of the blades, this study examines the effect of various layup methods of localized repair patches on the structural integrity of composite sandwich structures. Manufactured with the vacuum-assisted resin infusion (VARI) process, the shell test specimens are produced as a curved structure with glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) sandwiching a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam core. Patch repairs are then introduced with varying layup techniques, and material properties are examined with cyclic fatigue tests. The transition region between patch and parent material is studied in greater detail with finite element method (FEM) simulations, with a focus on the effect of fiber orientation mismatch. Damage onset, crack development, and eventual failure are monitored with in-situ non-destructive testing methods to develop a robust understanding of the effects of repair concepts on material stiffness and strength.

Therefore windows from different churches, time periods and with different corrosion and damage phenomena were scanned before and after conservation measures. To evaluate the execution of the restoration measures the data was compared using 3D inspection software to examine the differences in geometry between the two scans. Various problems had to be solved, for example, how to deal with heavily reflective surfaces and the extreme contrast between light and dark surfaces, as seen in the borders between ‘Schwarzlot’ painting and plain glass. The application of materials for matting the surfaces, such as Cyclododecane spray, was impossible due to the high accuracy of the surface measurement required for 3D inspection. Regarding the contrast differences of the surfaces, the creation of exposure fusions and the use of polarization filters to reduce reflections were tested. In addition to the general problems encountered when recording translucent surfaces, the historical glasses caused additional problems in calculating surface comparisons. For example, the windows have to be moved and turned around several times, both during the conservation process and while scanning, causing deformations of the geometry due to the flexible lead rods allowing a certain degree of movement.

Die THz-TDS ist in der Lage, dielektrische Volumina zerstörungs- und kontaktfreie zu durchstrahlen. Um eine 3D-THz Bildung zu ermöglichen, wurde für die THz-TDS ein rechnergestütztes Mess- und Rekonstruktionsverfahren (THz-TDSAFT) entwickelt, mit dem es gelingt, unter Verwendung der im Zeitbereich registrierten THz-TDS-Daten das Volumeninnere in Form eines dreidimensionalen Tomogramms zu rekonstruieren. Die THz-TD-SAFT basiert auf die für die Ultraschalltechnik entwickelte Synthetische Apertur Fokussierung (SAFT) bzw. des heuristisch begründeten Algorithmus des Synthetischen Apertur Radars (SAR). Anhand von Beispielen wird die Möglichkeiten der THz-TD-SAFT demonstriert und nachgewiesen, dass mit dem Rekonstruktionsansatz die künstlich eingebauten Fehlstellen bezüglich der Position und Größe geometrisch richtig im Tomogramm abgebildet werden können.

In the face of increasing traffic density and severe traffic loading, the results of the load tests on the Amsterdam bridge 705 make an important contribution to the understanding of its structural behavior. The concept of the static loading was based on the use of two 36-ton trucks stopped on the bridge at multiple pre-determined locations. The load applied in this way led to location-dependent small deflection effects recorded as longitudinal strain of the sensing fiber embedded at the underside of the bridge. The measurements were performed with a commercially-available solution based on Tunable Wavelength Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry with the measurement accuracy in the range of 0.5 µm/m.

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.

T1 - Vibration Analysis of Structures using a Drone (UAV) based Mobile Sensing Platform N2 - The identification of the dynamic behavior of structures, like bridges and towers, is relevant to address multiple issues. In many cases the dynamic parameters should be acquired only once or at a frequency that doesn’t justify the installation of distinct vibration sensors for a long-term monitoring. To identify modal frequencies of a structure, a drone based mobile sensing platform has been implemented. This sensing platform measures the relative displacement be-tween the structure and the drone, which also shows a strong dynamic behavior under wind tur-bulences. By regarding the dynamic model of the drone and additional measurements at the dis-tance sensor the absolute movement of the structure can be estimated based on the measured relative distance. This time domain data is a suitable input for various operational modal analysis algorithms. The system has been used to identify the dynamic properties of test and real structure, like a 1.5 MW wind turbine tower.

T1 - Correlation between the electric impedance and the water layer thickness in partially saturated screed samples N2 - The moisture content of screed samples is monitored by means of embedded sensors. Relative humidity sensors and multi-ring-electrodes are used to measure the spatial moisture distribution during desorption. Based on the humidity data and the pore volume distribution, the moisture and the water layer thickness within the pore space are predicted. Slit shape as well as cylindrical pores are evaluated. Finally, the measured real part of the electrical impedance and the calculated water layer thickness are correlated. Based on the available data, a significant trend change of the impedance is documented at a water layer thickness of approximately 3 nm. This water layer thickness corresponds to a relative humidity of 88.3%. T2 - 10.

Such high energy demand requires installation of offshore energy structures, rigs, platforms and towers, which are susceptible to adverse environmental conditions along with maintenances. Due to their large size and remote locations, cylindrical grouted joints are often adopted between substructure and foundation in these offshore platforms and wind structures such as monopiles. However, these connections are composite structures with exterior sleeve, interior pile and infill mortar. Degradation and settlements were reported inside similar connections, which were installed in last three decades. Besides, grouting in the offshore sites were proven difficult to obtain ideal load bearing capacity. In-situ loading conditions were also found to be affecting the failure mechanism inside such connections. This study aims at characterizing the nature of cracks generated in these grouted connections under both static and cyclic loading. Scaled grouted joints were manufactured using a novel reusable mold, and connections were loaded to failure to visualize the main failure patterns. An assessment between failure under these two types of load is drawn along with comparison to previously available literature.
