TY - JOUR A1 - Lu, Xin A1 - Krebber, Katerina T1 - Phase error analysis and unwrapping error suppression in phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry N2 - Phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry becomes an effective tool to realize distributed sensing, and the optical phase of the received light is usually used to quantify the strain for both dynamic and static measurement. The analysis on the overall phase error has been improved by considering the proportionality of the detection noise to the local optical power. The estimation accuracy is greatly improved by using the proposed theory, the probability density of the estimation accuracy over 99% is > 0.6, ∼39 times larger than the previously reported method. The phase unwrapping may malfunction due to the noisy signal, causing large phase errors. Point break detection algorithms are used to locate the incorrect phase unwrapping points, so the temporal evolution of the phase retrieved at each position can be divided into several sections with different offset. The phase unwrapping error is then suppressed by removing the offset.

Active thermography has the potential to be applied onsite and to provide a fast investigation of thermal properties. In this work, three different concrete samples were investigated by active thermography in reflection and in transmission setup. It was found that this method yields the same results without direct contact as the Transient Plane Source (TPS) method as an established inspection tool.

T1 - Importance of seismic wave frequency in FEM-based dynamic stress and displacement calculations of the earth slope N2 - Reliable assessment of earthen dams’ stability and tailing storage facilities widely used in the mining industry is challenging, particularly under seismic load conditions. In this paper, we propose to take into account the effect of the dominant frequency of seismic load on the stability assessment of tailing/earthen dams. The calculations are performed by finite element modelling (FEM) with the Mohr–Coulomb failure criteria. To separate the frequency content from other dynamic parameters describing the seismic wave, synthetic waveforms with identical amplitude and attenuation characteristics, but differing spectral characteristics have been used. The analysis has been performed for three different slope angles and two scenarios of seismic wave propagation. Consequently, the changes of total displacement and shear stresses depending on the frequencies have been determined and clearly show that lower frequencies cause higher stress levels and displacement. Finally, the response surface methodology has been applied to determine how different parameters affect the slope stability under dynamic load conditions. Overall, this study is a first step to improve the existing methods to assess slope stability when considering seismic load.

The International Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) as well as ISO 2248 describe the characteristics of impact targets for drop tests of dangerous goods packagings. According to these regulations, the impact target’s surface needs to be unyielding, under testing conditions non-deformable, flat, and integral with a mass at least 50 times that of the heaviest packaging to be tested. The problem is that many production facilities, especially manufacturers of corrugated fibreboard boxes, do not have their own testing device with the required 50 times mass ratio of the impact target for a regulation compliant drop test during series production. Furthermore, at UN level it is considered necessary to revise these requirements. In the present paper, the impact target requirements are examined in detail and compared with those in other technical areas (e.g., impact target for container for the transport of radioactive materials). A research method is being developed to investigate the dependency between the mass ratio of the packaging and the target as well as the damage resistance of a drop tested package in relation to specific design characteristics. The results are of high relevance for industry purposes and intended to ensure a uniform level of safety assessment for the mechanical testing of dangerous goods packagings.

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

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

However, there is little information in this context regarding the mechanical response of a filled fibreboard box.

We embedded ultrasonic transducers in the Gänstorbrücke Ulm, a monitored road bridge in Germany, to test the methodology. Since fall 2020, we've been monitoring parts of the bridge and comparing the results to commercial monitoring systems. We calculate signal and volumetric velocity changes using coda waves, and long-term measurements show that the influence of temperature on strains and ultrasound velocity changes can be monitored. Velocity change maps indicate that different parts of the bridge react differently to environmental temperature changes, revealing local material property differences.

We embedded ultrasonic transducers in the Gänstorbrücke Ulm, a monitored road bridge in Germany, to test the methodology. Since fall 2020, we've been monitoring parts of the bridge and comparing the results to commercial monitoring systems. We calculate signal and volumetric velocity changes using coda waves, and long-term measurements show that the influence of temperature on strains and ultrasound velocity changes can be monitored. Velocity change maps indicate that different parts of the bridge react differently to environmental temperature changes, revealing local material property differences.

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

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

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

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

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

Thermography is used in laser applications when permanent monitoring and control of thermal development is necessary. Among others, this is the case in additive manufacturing, laser-based measuring devices and non-destructive testing. Furthermore, thermography is ideally suited as a testing method when it comes to ensuring the quality of the laser itself.

Ein wesentlicher Vorteil bei der Nachrechnung besteht gegenüber dem Neubauentwurf in der Möglichkeit, Informationen über den tatsächlichen Zustand der Bauwerke zu erheben – im Idealfall ohne wesentliche destruktive Eingriffe in die Bausubstanz. Deren Verwendung bei der Zuverlässigkeitsanalyse dient der Zuschärfung von Berechnungsmodellen und ermöglicht realitätsnähere Bauwerksbeurteilungen. Die Einbeziehung von Messdaten bei der Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung setzt jedoch voraus, dass die Qualität der gemessenen Informationen bekannt und deren Vergleichbarkeit sichergestellt ist. Darüber hinaus sollte die Relevanz der messbaren Informationen beziffert werden, um wirtschaftliche Inspektionen am Bauwerk gezielt durchführen zu können. In diesem Beitrag wird am Beispiel von Ultraschall- und Radarmessungen an einer Spannbetonbrücke gezeigt, wie ZfP-Ergebnisse bei der Zuverlässigkeitsbewertung von Bestandsbauwerken mit probabilistischen Methoden genutzt werden können. Betrachtet werden innere geometrische Abmessungen wie die Lage der Bewehrung oder von Spanngliedern. Die Relevanz der messbaren Informationen wird anhand von Sensitivitätsanalysen beziffert.

The system employs a wavelength-scanning laser and an imbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer to acquire the reflection spectra and the phase of the detected light, respectively. Fading-free and low-frequency measurements are realized via the crosscorrelation of the reflection spectra. The discrete crosscorrelation is used to circumvent the nonlinear frequency sweeping of the laser. Based on the phase of the backscattered light, it is possible to quantify fast environmental variations. The whole system requires no hardware modification of the existing system and its functionality is experimentally validated. The proposed system has the potential to monitor ground motion/movement at very low frequency band like subsidence around mining areas and at high frequency band like earthquakes and vibrations induced by avalanches.

Mit der Simulation können Prüffahrten virtuell durchgeführt und Schadensbilder für das KI-Training erzeugt werden, die das Verhalten komplexer Systeme reproduzieren, ohne dass das reale System benötigt wird. Die Modellannahmen sind dabei von erheblicher Bedeutung, denn unzureichende Modellannahmen führen leicht zu falschen Simulationsergebnissen.

T1 - Bout-based Gas Source Localization using Aerial Robot Swarms N2 - Gas source localization (GSL) helps mitigate the impact of industrial accidents and natural disasters. While GSL may be dangerous and time-consuming when performed by humans, swarms of agile and inexpensive nano aerial robots may increase the safety and efficiency of gas source localizations. Since the small payloads of nano aerial robots limit the sensing and computing resources, strategies adapted from biological swarms, such as colonies of social insects, are used to coordinate robot swarms. Most swarm GSL strategies are based on the assumption that the maxima of gas concentrations are sufficiently close to the gas sources. However, prior studies have indicated that the occurrence of “bouts”, a metric for the intermittency of gas distributions, may advantageously be used as a more accurate gas source proximity indicator. This paper presents a swarm GSL strategy employing bouts as source proximity indicators and a bio-inspired pheromone system for communication. Nano aerial robots, deployed in this study, act as agents and emit pheromone markers in an artificial environment upon detecting bouts. Leveraging the concept of artificial potential fields, the agents switch between exploiting the knowledge of the swarm by following pheromone gradients and exploring the search space by targeting a random point. The agents are repelled by each other and by walls to avoid collisions. The swarm GSL strategy is implemented into three nano aerial robots and validated in a real-world experiment in an indoor environment with a single gas source. The results indicate that the the swarm GSL strategy presented in this paper is capable of GSL in indoor environments and that the intermittency of gas distributions is a better source proximity indicator than the mean concentration.

The system is based on a cost-efficient digital incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR). In this approach, the strain-induced changes in the Rayleigh backscattering profile along a perfluorinated polymer optical fiber (PF-POF) are determined by measuring the complex transfer function of the sensing fiber using a compact digital data acquisition unit. The digital unit replaces an oversized vector network analyzer (VNA) enabling suitability of the measurement system for out-door use and providing a significant reduction of the total system costs at the same time. The entire sensor con-cept includes the use of geosynthetics with integrated PF-POFs as two-dimensional sensor structures for geotech-nical applications. The robustness and the functionality of the distributed POF I-OFDR sensors were proven in the field. The field test involved embedding of two geomats, each with two polymer optical sensor loops, into the embankment of the federal road B 91 in a section near Leipzig. The measurements conducted after the sensor-based geomats had been installed confirmed both the potential of such smart geosynthetics and the functionali-ty of the digital I-OFDR prototype.

N2 - Recently, the photothermal determination of the thermophysical properties of concrete under lab conditions was reported. Their values are mainly needed to look at the energy consumption of buildings. Additionally, changes in their values in relation to the initial state might also be a good indicator for material quality or for moisture. The present contribution explains the photothermal method in a more general way to indicate the potential for on-site application. Secondly, a special application case is regarded: the detection of moisture in concrete. Two concrete samples were soaked with water, followed by a drying period, to obtain different levels of water penetration. The water contents were determined by weighing, and the photothermal response was measured. The results show a large influence on the measured temperature transients, which is larger than expected from the original simple model. They clearly provide two points: the photothermal method is suited to detect moisture in concrete, but the magnitude of the actual measurement effect is not yet understood.

T1 - Damage assessment of complete, filled fibreboard boxes in regulative vertical impact tests by dropping N2 - Due to the high damping mechanical properties of fiberboard materials, corrugated fiberboard boxes are widely used as transport packagings of dangerous goods. Since there is risk of vertical impact within the distribution system, drop tests are performed as design type tests to assess a package’s ability to withstand damage. In this context, however, little is known regarding the transient mechanical response of a filled fiberboard box. The reason is that the nature of the packaging material presents challenges in identifying the deformation mechanisms experimentally. The aim of this work is to provide a framework for predicting the damage resistance of complete, filled corrugated fiberboard boxes which are ready for transportation. Therein, drop test finite-element simulations are used and validated by experimental results. These numerical calculation models are a valuable tool for virtual product development and contribute to the optimization of the design cycle.

Whilst concrete is prevailing in the existing building stock, new types of concrete composites are increasingly used to improve the sustainability and overall structural performance of built assets. The addition of short dispersed fibres is a material technology with several applications. This paper addresses the synergy of fastening elements, introducing localised loads in concrete substrates, and of fibres, particularly in terms of the fibre orientation and density in the load application area, which is a significant quality aspect. The possibility to forecast this synergy based on non‐destructive or minimally invasive testing methods is an efficient tool to increase confidence in the design load‐bearing performance of the anchorages. Initially, previous literature and own investigations on such techniques are presented. Furthermore, a methodology is presented on associating such information to predict a single anchor's resistance on the basis of sophisticated non‐linear analyses and testing with engineered fibres alignments.

T1 - Non-destructively Measurable Quantities Relevant to Reliability Assessment of Existing Concrete Bridges – Case Studies N2 - In reliability assessment of existing bridges, collected information about the structure can be utilized to modify partial safety factors and to refine characteristic values individually. In this way, uncertainties covered in initial calculation models and arising from assumptions can be reduced as well as biases identified and corrected. This allows for more realistic assessments and more appropriate decisions on actions to be taken. However, the on-site observation of information is generally associated with certain costs. For this reason, an efficient data-supported reassessment requires that only the individually relevant testing tasks are solved. Additional sensitivity analyses can further be used to specify the requirements on certain inspections, such as the testing result quality to be achieved, in order to avoid too imprecise or too expensive measurements on-site. In this contribution, the methodology for the demand-actuated definition of measurement objectives is demonstrated using the example of non-destructive concrete testing methods and findings from reassessments of two prestressed concrete bridges. Each case study includes the semi-probabilistic identification of structural weak points in ultimate and serviceability limit states, a comparison with respective probabilistic sensitivity analyses, and the subsequent derivation of parameters that are a) measurable and b) highly relevant in the individual reliability analyses.

T1 - Reassessment of Existing Concrete Bridges with Full Probabilistic Methods – Case Studies and Discussion of Relevant Input Parameters N2 - This article presents two case studies for a full-probabilistic assessment of existing concrete bridges combined with the use of the finite element method for the evaluation of the internal forces. Since the structures already exist, additional information about material parameters and loading conditions can be collected. With a sensitivity analysis, the contribution of each parameter to the total uncertainty is examined and the relevance of their actual value and variation is shown. The first case study is a single-span reinforced concrete frame bridge on the German highway A92 constructed in the year 1985. With a span of around 5 m, but a width of 27 m and a skewness of 70 gon, the bridge is modelled as a three-dimensional finite element model. The second case study is a two-span reinforced concrete frame bridge from 1986 with span lengths of about 7,50 m each. The superstructure is a 45 cm thick slab and the base plate has a thickness of 80 cm. The assessment is performed based on the semi-probabilistic safety concept according to the codes first and secondly with a full-probabilistic calculation. In this article the selection of parameters for the relevant input data are presented and discussed. The results of the sensitivity analysis are used for the setup of measurements to acquire important data for the modelling in the critical limit states.

Compared to more traditional light sources, e.g. flash or halogen lamps, their output power can be easily modulated at high rates, allowing a wide variety of complex excitations to be realized. Although their total optical output power can be theoretically scaled to arbitrary values, the maximum output power is practically limited by many factors: the maximum power that the sample under test can absorb without altering the lighted surface itself, the trade-off between power density and inspected area, the cost of the laser system, etc. Furthermore, when working with spatial modulator systems, the output power could be limited to avoid provoking any damages on such devices. Nevertheless, to guarantee sufficient heating even for highly thermally conductive materials and/or deeply buried defects, the heating times can be extended, e.g., either by using step heating, long pulse thermography, or by lock-in thermography with a continuously modulated heating. However, for all these approaches, the ranging capabilities of the thermographic defect detection are reduced due to the limited frequency content of the excitation. To tackle this problem, i.e. to increase the excitation energy while preserving its frequency content, new approaches have been developed in the last two decades, among which the use of coded excitations combined with pulse-compression, and the use of multiple lock-in analysis or of a frequency modulated excitation signal. The challenges of such temporally structured heating techniques are manifold, for example, the DC component inherent in optical heating must be taken into account. In general, a wider frequency bandwidth or greater variability of the frequency components also means greater complexity for signal generation and data processing. In this paper, temporal structured excitation schemes with different degrees of complexity are compared on a high power laser system.

The methods currently applied have been used since decades with only minor changes. To face the new challenges generated by modern drive systems, higher speeds, heavier loads adapted techniques have to be developed to detect new defect types and artefacts generated by new production methods. Especially the area where rolling contact fatigue takes place is under focus. Going beyond the standard conventional ultrasound setups used since the 1950 enables a more detailed detection and classification of rail defects and size estimation. Eddy current methods are applied for surface crack detection and head check depth quantification at the gauge corner of railway tracks. An extension of the tested zone to the running surface uncloses rail defect signal types other than head checks to be detected and estimated in type and size. For the automated evaluation of the recorded data algorithms based on artificial intelligence being trained based on simulation will be applied. Typically, the testing parameter vary depending on the track condition and the probe wear. To identify variables and parameters which have a significant influence on the overall performance of the test run modelling of the setup can be used.

Um die Abbildung der Ultraschalldaten von komplexen Betonstrukturen zu verbessern, haben wir die Reverse-Time Migration (RTM) aus der Seismik auf die zerstörungsfreie Prüfung im Bauwesen übertragen. In einer Vorstudie haben wir einen 2D akustischen RTM Code verwendet und an realen Ultraschalldaten, die an einer Betonfundamentplatte aufgenommen wurden, getestet. Im Vergleich mit dem herkömmlichen Rekonstruktionsalgorithmus für Ultraschalldaten, der Synthetic Aperture Focusing Technique (SAFT), zeigten die akustischen RTM-Ergebnisse eine deutliche Verbesserung in der Abbildung der inneren Struktur der Betonfundamentplatte. Vertikale Reflektoren konnten rekonstruiert werden, was mit dem herkömmlichen Abbildungsverfahren nicht möglich war. RTM ist, im Gegensatz zu SAFT, eine wellengleichungsbasierte Migrationsmethode und beruht auf der numerischen Lösung der vollständigen Wellengleichung. Die Vorteile sind, dass der Algorithmus sämtliche Informationen des Wellenfeldes verwendet und daher verschiedene Welleneffekte wie z.B. Multipathing berücksichtigt werden können. Die RTM bietet damit die Möglichkeit auch stark geneigte Reflektoren sowie Streukörper mit komplexen Geometrien darzustellen. Ein Nachteil ist jedoch die lange Rechenzeit und der hohe Bedarf an Speicherkapazität. Ein RTM-Algorithmus, der die elastische Wellengleichung anstatt der akustischen verwendet (wie in unserer Vorstudie angewandt), hat das Potenzial, die Abbildungsergebnisse noch weiter zu optimieren. Das liegt daran, dass unsere Ultraschallmessdaten durch Anregung elastischer Wellen generiert werden. In einem ersten Schritt haben wir zwei elastische 2D-RTM-Algorithmen an synthetischen Ultraschalldaten getestet. Diese wurden mit einem Betonmodell, bestehend aus mehreren Stufen und kreisförmigen Lufteinschlüssen, erzeugt. In einem zweiten Schritt wurden reale Ultraschalldaten mit Scherwellenprüfköpfen an einer Betonstufenplatte mit integrierten Hüllrohren aufgenommen. Die Auswertung der realen Daten mit unserem elastischen RTM-Code war ebenfalls erfolgreich. Wir konnten die Abbildungsqualität der Stufen und Hüllrohre im Vergleich zur akustischen RTM und SAFT verbessern.

Important applications include thickness measurements, geometry determination, the localization and characterization of built-in components as well as the detection of quality issues (cracks, honeycombing, low concrete strength). To improve ultrasonic data imaging of complicated structures in concrete, we transferred a seismic migration technique, the Reverse Time Migration (RTM), to non-destructive testing in civil engineering. In a preliminary study, we tested a 2D acoustic RTM algorithm on measured ultrasonic echo data acquired at a concrete foundation slab. Compared to the conventional used synthetic aperture focusing technique algorithms (SAFT) for ultrasonic data reconstruction, our acoustic RTM results showed a significant improvement in imaging the interior structure of the concrete slab. Vertical reflectors were reconstructed which was not possible by traditional imaging. In contrast to SAFT, RTM is a wavefield-continuation method in time and uses the full wave equation. RTM is, thus, able to include multiple reflections and to handle multi-pathing as well as many other complex situations. As a drawback RTM requires extensive computing power and memory capacity. Nevertheless, due to progresses in parallel processing and other computational technologies RTM has become appealing for the application in the field of non-destructive testing. An RTM algorithm, which uses the full elastic wave equation instead of the full acoustic one (as applied in our preliminary work) has the potential to optimize the imaging results even further. This is due to the fact, that our ultrasonic measurement data are generated by exciting elastic waves. Thus, in a first step, two 2D elastic RTM algorithms were tested on synthetic ultrasonic echo data generated with a concrete model consisting of several steps and circular shaped air inclusions. In addition, two imaging conditions were evaluated to reduce migration artifacts. Our synthetic elastic RTM results showed an enhancement in imaging the features inside the test model compared to acoustic RTM and SAFT. In a second step, we acquired ultrasonic measurement data at a concrete test specimen consisting of three steps and four air filled tendon ducts. The evaluation of the real data with our elastic RTM code was also successful and the reconstruction of the geometries of the steps and tendon ducts could be improved. With our study we have shown that elastic RTM is a step forward for ultrasonic testing in civil engineering.

A1 - Niederleithinger, Ernst T1 - Nondestructive Evaluation of Bridges without Structural Plans for Load Rating Purposes N2 - According to the NBI database, more than 21,000 in-service U.S. bridges lack sufficient structural documentation necessary for analytical load rating. Among these are a significant proportion of older prestressed concrete bridges. Given the lack of documentation on the reinforcing layout, such structures cannot be load rated analytically and are often subject to engineering judgement as the basis for rating. Otherwise, the typical approach for load rating such bridges is to conduct costly proof load testing and destructive probing together with making conservative assumptions. Therefore, any improvement to current practices will benefit DOTs and taxpayers alike. Accurately reconstructed 3D images of the girders to reflect the internal reinforcement could mitigate the need for costly, if not impractical, destructive testing and proof load testing, and help reduce dependency on conservative assumptions. This study examines a comprehensive NDE approach using ultrasonic tomography and GPR to aid in gathering structural information for load rating purposes. Different types of AASHTO and hollow core girders were tested.

T1 - Application of the thermal shock response spectrum (TSRS) methodology to various forms of heat sources by pulse thermography and comparison by using a rotating line scan contour search algorithm N2 - In this paper, we propose a novel contour search algorithm (CSA) for image processing. Its efficacy is evaluated through a comparative analysis with established techniques such as Canny Edge and Snakes: Active contour models, utilizing infrared thermography (IRT) images. Based on the new CSA, we investigate the influence of different pulse shapes on the IRT post-processing methodology, particularly focusing on the thermal shock response spectrum (TSRS), using two different heat sources: xenon flash lamps and a laser. Moreover, this allows for a more precise quantitative comparison of the TSRS with existing IRT post-processing techniques, including pulse phase thermography and thermal signal reconstruction, concerning the detection of defects in composite materials, particularly in carbon fiber-reinforced polymer. A quantitative comparison was performed using the Tanimoto criterion and signal-to-noise ratio. A more detailed analysis is conducted to identify inherent limitations and potential benefits of the new TSRS methodology. We further investigate and experimentally confirm our previous finding on the qualitative correlation between the one-dimensional thermal N-layer model and test data from the TSRS optimization process for defect determination. This correlation can eliminate the time-consuming optimization step, making TSRS a more attractive alternative to common IRT methods and enhancing the quantitative description of defects.

It is also the main factor limiting the performance of the phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (φOTDR). The low SNR at the fading points results in a large measurement error, severely affecting the reliability of civil infrastructure monitoring. The proposed method involves changing the pulse width during measurements to suppress the impact of fading. Experimental result shows that the number of fading points is greatly reduced by ∼ 96 % and the measurement error is reduced by more than 5 times. Unlike existing methods, this approach requires no hardware modifications, making it applicable to almost all current phase-based φOTDR systems. The versatility and effectiveness of this method make it an excellent candidate for infrastructure monitoring and related fields.

T1 - Optimization of thermal shock response spectrum as infrared thermography post-processing methodology using Latin hypercube sampling and analytical thermal N-layer model N2 - In this work, we continue to develop and investigate the Thermal Shock Response Spectrum (TSRS) method as an alternative data processing method for infrared thermography (IRT). We focus on improving the current TSRS algorithm and present an optimization methodology for finding the optimal thermal Q-factor and characteristic frequency pair, which is based on the widely applied random sampling method. We show the qualitative relationship between the determined optimal characteristic frequency and the corresponding maximum difference in diffusion length between reference and defective models, as calculated by selecting a specific one-dimensional thermal N-layer model. The investigations were performed on an inhomogeneous plate made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) with artificial square defects at different depths. Furthermore, two different heat sources were used: a xenon flash lamp and a laser. These sources are not only distinct by their underlying physics but also generate inherently different pulse shapes. To quantitatively estimate the contrast between defect and non-defect areas, and to compare these results with commonly used infrared thermography (IRT) data postprocessing methods such as Pulse Phase Thermography (PPT) and Thermographic Signal Reconstruction (TSR), the Tanimoto criterion (TC) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were used.

T1 - Drop Test Simulation of Packaging for Dangerous Goods: An Investigation of Appropriate Drop Height Adjustment in Case of Deviating Packaging Gross Mass N2 - In the approval process of dangerous goods packagings, drop tests onto a flat, essentially unyielding surface are used to assess resistance against mechanical damage. International adopted regulations like ADR and RID define filling good dependent drop heights and filling degrees whilst the user needs to define the maximum gross mass to be tested and approved. Maximum packaging gross mass is defined conservatively and not reached in practice. To meet the defined gross mass in testing, using additives is permitted. However, in some cases, additives are not desirable due to packaging design or filling substance properties. This leads to deviations from the initial gross mass definition. Hence, a certain drop height adjustment is necessary to achieve the required impact loading. Laboratories frequently adjust drop height assuming a perfectly elastic collision that is inaccurate. Appropriate adjustment is not trivial due to energy conversion processes, for example, plastic deformation.

T1 - Application of the Thermal Shock Response Spectrum (TSRS) methodology to various forms of heat sources by impulse thermography N2 - In this paper, we investigate the influence of different heat source pulse shapes by Infrared impulse thermography (IRT) on the results of the thermal shock response spectrum (TSRS) methodology. TSRS is a new alternative approach for evaluating impulse thermography (IRT) data based on an analogy to Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) analysis (ISO 18431) for mechanical systems. It allows processing the entire recorded signal without truncating the saturated thermogram, as in pulse-phase thermography (PPT) or thermal signal reconstruction (TSR). For this purpose, we use a widespread halogen lamp as heat source as well as laser spot. The laser source enables not only to generate a precise shape of the pulse, but also to heat a specific area of the sample uniformly. This makes it possible to suppress influences of lateral fluxes due to uneven distribution of the excitation source on the surface of the specimen and leads to improved results. In order to quantitatively compare the results and to investigate the possible influence of the source shape on the TSRS, the Tanimoto criterion and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) were applied to the region of interest (ROI) of the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminate with artificial defects as defect detectability criterion.

The propagation of thermal waves from the heat source to the inhomogeneity and to the detection surface according to the thermal diffusion equation leads to the fact that two closely spaced defects can be incorrectly detected as one defect in the measured thermogram. In order to break this spatial resolution limit (super resolution), the combination of spatially structured heating and numerical methods of compressed sensing can be used. The improvement of the spatial resolution for defect detection then depends in the classical sense directly on the number of measurements. Current practical implementations of this super resolution detection still suffer from long measurement times, since not only the achievable resolution depends on performing multiple measurements, but due to the use of single spot laser sources or laser arrays with low pixel count, also the scanning process itself is quite slow. With the application of most recent high-power digital micromirror device (DMD) based laser projector technology this issue can now be overcome. Our studies deal with the application of fully 2D-structured DMD-based excitation and subsequent super-resolution-based defect reconstruction. We analyze the influence of different testing parameters, like the number of measurements or the white content of the excitation pattern. Furthermore, we have dealt with the choice of parameters in the reconstruction that have an influence on the underlying minimization problem in terms of compressed sensing. Finally, the results of the super resolution reconstruction are compared with the results based on conventional thermographic testing methods.

An equivalent way of describing this is the propagation of thermal waves inside the sample. Although thermography is suitable for a wide range of inhomogeneities and materials, the fundamental limitation is the diffuse nature of thermal waves and the need to measure their effect radiometrically at the sample surface only. The crucial difference between diffuse thermal waves and propagating waves, as they occur, e.g., in ultrasound, is the rapid degradation of spatial resolution with increasing defect depth. This degradation usually limits the applicability of thermography for finding small defects on and below the surface. A promising approach to improve the spatial resolution and thus the detection sensitivity and reconstruction quality of the thermographic technique lies in the shaping of these diffuse thermal wave fields using structured laser thermography. Some examples are: • Narrow crack-like defects below the surface can be detected with high sensitivity by superimposing several interfering thermal wave fields, • Defects very close to each other can be separated by multiple measurements with varying heating structures, • Defects at different depths can be distinguished by an optimized temporal shaping of the thermal excitation function, • Narrow cracks on the surface can be found by robotic scanning with focused laser spots. We present the latest results of this technology obtained with high-power laser systems and modern numerical methods.

Ferner diskutieren wir die Simulation von Schweißnähten, die von beiden Prüfsystem detektiert werden können; und somit besondere Abstimmung bedürfen aber auch Synergieeffekte zwischen den Prüfsystem ermöglichen. Für die Ablage der Datensätze verweisen wir auf das ebenfalls eingereichte Poster „Verwendung von DICONDE bei der Eisenbahn-Schienenprüfung“. Das Projekt AIFRI wird im Rahmen der Innovationsinitiative mFUND unter dem Förderkennzeichen 19FS2014 durch das Bundesministerium für Digitales und Verkehr gefördert.

Die bisher etablierten Verfahren basieren auf der nasschemischen Analyse einer Probe, Bohrmehl oder aufgemahlener Segmente eines Bohrkerns. Das Verfahren liefert einen Chloridgehalt je Tiefensegment, was mit einer starken Homogenisierung der Probe einhergeht, wodurch detaillierte Informationen zu Chloridunterschieden im Millimeterbereich verloren gehen. Eine alternative Methode ist die laserinduzierte Plasmaspektroskopie (LIBS), die nicht nur die quantitative ortsaufgelöste Bestimmung des Chloridgehalts im Bezug zur Zementmasse ermöglicht, sondern auch simultan detaillierte Informationen über die Verteilung vieler anderer chemischer Elemente liefert. Die räumliche Auflösung liegt in der Regel im Bereich von einigen Millimetern, kann aber bei Bedarf auf 0,1 mm oder weniger erhöht werden. Das neue Merkblatt B14 „Quantifizierung von Chlorid in Beton mit der laserinduzierten Plasmaspektroskopie (LIBS)“ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Zerstörungsfreie Prüfungen (DGZfP) regelt und vereinheitlicht erstmals die zuverlässige und reproduzierbare Ermittlung des Chloridgehalts mit LIBS. In diesem Beitrag wird das Merkblatt vorgestellt und anhand praktischer Anwendungsbeispiele das Potenzial von LIBS für Fragestellungen in der Betonerhaltung verdeutlicht.

Dadurch bedingt können systematische Abweichungen vom vorhergesagten Erwärmungsverhalten Aufschluss über dessen innere Struktur geben. Jedoch ist das Auflösungsvermögen für innenliegende Defekte durch die diffusive Natur der Wärmeleitung in Festkörpern begrenzt. Thermografische Super-Resolution (SR)-Methoden zielen darauf ab, diese Limitation durch die Kombination mehrerer Messungen mit jeweils unterschiedlicher strukturierter Erwärmung und mathematischer Optimierungsmethoden zu überwinden. Zur Rekonstruktion innerer Defekte mithilfe thermografischer SR-Rekonstruktionsmethodik wird für die Gesamtheit mehrerer Messungen ein schlecht gestelltes und stark regularisiertes inverses mathematisches Problem gelöst, was in einer dünnbesetzten Karte der internen Defektstruktur des OuTs resultiert. Der vorliegende Vortrag gibt einen Überblick über die geleisteten Arbeiten in diesem Gebiet im Rahmen der hier mit dem Wissenschaftspreis der DGZfP 2024 prämierten Arbeit.

T1 - Automated non-destructive internal corrosion detection on radioactive drums (ZIKA) N2 - The aim of the ZIKA research project, funded by the BMBF funding program FORKA (FKZ:15S9446 A-C), is the automated detection of internal corrosion of radioactive drums using non-destructive testing (NDT). The newly gained findings will be combined with research results from the previous project EMOS (FKZ:15S9420), which dealt with the external damage of drums. Using NDT, internal corrosion and possible internal sources of damage can be identified before they become a safety-relevant issue. However, if internally sourced damages can be seen externally, the integrity of the damaged drum is no longer guaranteed, which has significant consequences. Therefore, early detection before integrity failure is of particular importance for interim storage facilities with low- and medium-level radioactive waste drums.

Commonly used non-destructive techniques such as strain gauges, clip gauges, ultrasound, etc. used for detection and monitoring of fatigue damage are contact-based and perform local measurements. In addition, complex full-field techniques are commonly investigated, such as digital image correlation (DIC) and infrared thermography (IRT). In this work, a specific implementation of IRT, called lock-in IRT, is implemented for fatigue damage detection. This technique evaluates the thermal stress response of test specimens, specifically focusing or “locking-in” on the frequency of applied cyclic loads. Three different test scenarios are presented. First, a section of a wind turbine rotor blade made of a glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP) shell structure under cyclic load was examined with Lock-In IRT along with DIC. The primary advantage of Lock-In IRT in this test setup was that it required no sample preparation, as compared to the painting and speckle pattern required for DIC. In the frequency domain, specifically the frequency of applied cyclic load, it was possible to extract local directional inhomogeneous loading within the shell structure due to progressive damage, confirmed with the deformation obtained from DIC results. Second, thick welded specimens made of structural steel S355 were subjected to multiple NDT methods such as strain gauges, crack luminescence penetration (developed specifically at BAM), ultrasound, and IRT, with the aim of investigating the ability of each technique to detect fatigue damage initiation as early as possible in the total fatigue life of the specimen. Amongst the range of implemented techniques, Lock-In IRT provided the first indication of fatigue crack initiation at the weld toe of the specimens. This was validated with the other techniques as well as fractography. Third, steel S355 specimens used to manufacture offshore wind turbine monopiles were tested. The specimens were extracted from a plate that was submerged in a marine environment, resulting in a corroded surface with corrosion pits. These specimens were subjected to cyclic tensile loads without removing the corrosion pits. The fatigue tests were monitored using IRT in a special full-field capturing setup that enables both sides of the specimen to be examined with one IRT camera. This allowed the entire pitted surface to be monitored for fatigue damage initiation at the same time. With the implementation of Lock In IRT, the surface stress distribution could be captured (the stress concentration at the pits), and fatigue crack initiation could be detected and linked with specific corrosion pits.

Diese Werkzeuge, insbesondere die Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung (ZfP), spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Förderung der Zirkularität in der Baubranche. Die ZfP ermöglicht es, die Qualität und Eignung von Baumaterialien präzise zu bestimmen, ohne diese zu beschädigen. Dies ist entscheidend für die Wiederverwendung und das Recycling von Baustoffen und trägt wesentlich zur Reduzierung des Bauabfalls bei. Durch die Integration dieser Technologie in die Planungs- und Entwurfsphase können Architekten und Ingenieure aktiv einen nachhaltigeren Bauprozess fördern. REINCARNATE verbindet diese Diagnosemethoden mit digitalen Innovationen wie der Technologie des digitalen Zwillings und KI-gesteuerten Lösungen. Diese Kombination ermöglicht eine noch genauere und effizientere Bewertung und Nutzung von Baustoffen, was die Wiederverwendbarkeit und das Recycling verbessert. Im Rahmen des Projekts werden elf Demonstrationsprojekte in ganz Europa umgesetzt, die die praktische Anwendung dieser Technologien zeigen. Diese Projekte demonstrieren, wie ZfP und digitale Werkzeuge zusammenwirken, um Materialien, die traditionell als Abfall angesehen werden, in wertvolle Ressourcen umzuwandeln. Das Ziel von REINCARNATE ist eine 80-prozentige Verringerung der Bauabfälle und eine 70-prozentige Reduzierung des CO2-Fußabdrucks. Mit diesem Beitrag demonstrieren wir eine klare, umsetzbare Anleitung für die Bauindustrie, wie Innovationen in die Praxis umgesetzt werden können. Wir präsentieren greifbare Strategien zur Implementierung nachhaltiger, zirkulärer Praktiken im Bauwesen und markiert einen Wendepunkt in Richtung einer nachhaltigeren Bauindustrie.

The heart of REINCARNATE is the Circular Potential Information Model (CP-IM), a digital platform designed to assess and enhance the recyclability of construction materials, construction products, and buildings. The CP-IM integrates advanced technologies such as digital twins, AI, and robotics to revolutionize the handling of construction waste, turning it into valuable resources and cutting the environmental footprint of the sector. Among its features are digital tracing, material durability predictions, and CO2 reduction materials design. These are showcased in eleven European demonstration projects, highlighting the practical benefits of these technologies in reducing construction waste and CO2 emissions by up to 80% and 70% respectively. REINCARNATE aims to marry innovation with real-world application, providing the construction industry with strategies for sustainable and circular practices.
