Zur Verformungsanalyse einer 24 m langen, extern vorgespannten aber aufgrund von drei Stützfundamenten zwei Teilbereiche bildenden monolithischen Stahlbeton-Modellbrücke wurde ein komplett erfassendes stereo-optisches Messverfahren eingesetzt. Das Verfahren, dessen Kalibrierung sowie die experimentellen Randbedingungen werden beschrieben. Die im Fall quasistatischer Belastungsänderung gemessenen Verformungen zeigten signifikant messbare Verschiebungswerte im unteren mm-Bereich. Bei stochastischer Schwingungsanregung mit einem Shaker können in diesem für das Verfahren großen Messbereich die ersten drei resonanten Betriebsschwingformen bestimmt werden. Die realitätsnah kleinen Schwingungsamplituden sowie die begrenzte Koordinatenauflösung des bei 464 Hz Bild-folgefrequenz mit 4000 x 370 Bildpunkten betriebenen 12MP-Kamerapaares wirken sich limitierend aus. Beispielhafte Animationen zeigen die Verformungen der Modellbrücke unter Laständerung.
Absorption edge tomography is a method which exploits the sudden change of the attenuation coefficient, when the photon energy crosses the absorption edge of an element. The beamline BAM line at BESSY II, which is operated by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing, can provide a monochromatized beam in a photon energy range from 5 keV up to 80 keV with a bandwidth of 2%. Together with the microtomography setup, this enables differential tomography sensitive to any element with N >= 24 (Cr) by using an appropriate K- or L-edge in this range. Here, a polymer filament embedding metal organic framework (MOF) was prepared and used for 3D printing. Absorption edge tomography at the copper K edge was employed to perform a non-destructive 3D characterization of the microstructure of the embedded MOF. Data fusion was then used to determine the size distribution of the embedded MOF.
Die zeitaufgelöste THz-Spektroskopie (THz-TDS) operiert mit elektromagnetischen Impulsen, die ein Amplitudenspektrum im unteren THz-Bereich aufweisen. 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-TD-SAFT) 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.
This work presents the testing of a developed electronic nose for outdoor odour nuisance monitoring. The sensor system consists of a sampling system, a measuring cell equipped with commercially available low-cost gas sensor elements and a data acquisition system. The sensor testing showed that the developed prototype is able to distinguish, identify and partially quantify individual odorous substances like ethanol, ammonia and hydrogen sulphide. Ethanol and ammonia could even be detected below or near their odour threshold.
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.
For metal-based additive manufacturing, sensors and measuring systems for monitoring of the energy source, the build volume, the melt pool and the component geometry are already commercially available. Further methods of optics, spectroscopy and non-destructive testing are described in the literature as suitable for in-situ application, but there are only a few reports on practical implementations.
Therefore, a new BAM project aims to develop process monitoring methods for the in-situ evaluation of the quality of additively manufactured metal components. In addition to passive and active thermography, this includes optical tomography, optical emission and absorption spectroscopy, eddy current testing, laminography, X-ray backscattering and photoacoustic methods. These methods are used in additive manufacturing systems for selective laser melting, laser metal deposition and wire arc additive manufacturing. To handle the sometimes huge amounts of data, algorithms for efficient preprocessing are developed and characteristics of the in-situ data are extracted and correlated to defects and inhomogeneities, which are determined using reference methods such as computer tomography and metallography. This process monitoring and fusion of data of different measurement techniques should result in a significant reduction of costly and time-consuming, destructive or non-destructive tests after the production of the component and at the same time reduce the production of scrap.
Here, first results of simultaneous measurements of optical emission spectroscopy and thermography during the laser metal deposition process using 316L as building material are presented. Temperature values are extracted from spectroscopic data by fitting of blackbody emission spectra to the experimental data and compared with results from a thermographic camera. Measurements with and without powder flow reveal significant differences between welding at a pristine metal surface and previously melted positions on the build plate, illustrating the significant influence of the partial oxidation of the surface during the first welding process on subsequent welding. The measurement equipment can either be mounted stationary or following the laser path. While first results were obtained in the stationary mode, future applications for online monitoring of the build of whole parts in the mobile mode are planned.
This research was funded by BAM within the focus area Material.
Due to their high irradiance and wide modulation bandwidth, high-power lasers open up a wide field of application. For example, the classical methods of pulse and lock-in thermography can be realized in high quality. In addition, structured heating is also possible by using arrays of such lasers. This makes it possible to implement new thermographic methods, such as interference-based detection of cracks or super resolution.
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.
Wir laden zum Trainingsworkshop Datenanalyse ein. Angetrieben durch die Digitalisierung und die sogenannte Industrie 4.0 steigt die Erwartungshaltung gegenüber der Nutzung von Daten. Die Unsicherheit, Widersprüchlichkeit und Redundanz separat verarbeiteter einzelner Quellen soll durch die synergetische Zusammenführung heterogener Datensätze überwunden werden. Dabei steht der zunehmenden Aufgabenkomplexität eine ebenso zunehmende Verfügbarkeit an Daten und Analyseverfahren gegenüber.
Der Workshop vermittelt ein konzeptionelles Verständnis für moderne Datenanalyseverfahren (Machine Learning (ML), Multivariate Statistik) und soll durch ein anschließendes Hands-On Training mit Python (https://www.python.org) einen einfachen Einstieg in die Thematik ermöglichen. Der Kurs richtet sich an den wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs.
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.
An essential task in many industries, e.g. food, petrol or chemical industry, is the precise and accurate characterization of liquids. Therefore, the development of innovative in-line sensors is of great interest. New concepts based on periodic structures, so-called phononic crystals (PnCs), are an interesting idea for the design of innovative sensors.
A PnC-based sensor can be designed by introducing a resonance inside a bandgap, a frequency region where no wave propagation is allowed. High-Q measurement systems using PnCs are already reported in the literature. However, existing designs cannot be implemented into a piping system directly, but need special fittings, openings or by-passes to be in contact with the liquid.
To circumvent this issue, we develop a new sensor based on PnCs, which can be directly implemented as part of the piping system. For this purpose, we use a PnC consisting of hollow cylinders with a periodic change of the outer diameter.
A bandgap could be found for the described geometry without fluid in simulation and measurement. However, simulations show, that a bandgap for fluid-filled cylinders can only be obtained for quasi-longitudinal modes. Hence, we propose a mode selective excitation for the sensor.
Ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods have found various applications in quality assurance and condition assessment of nuclear concrete structures. 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.
Ultrasonic transmission measurements are used to monitor concrete elements mostly on a laboratory scale since decades. Recently, coda wave interferometry, a technique adapted from seismology, has been introduced to civil engineering experiments. It can be used to reveal subtle changes in concrete samples and even large construction elements without having a transducer directly at the location where the change is taking place. The methodology works best with embedded transducers to avoid coupling issues or excessive environmental influence. These transducers can be used for newly built and existing structures. Recently, large concrete beams have been equipped with a network of transducers and loaded until failure. Using code wave interferometry, it was possible to visualize stress fields and damaged areas. This paper gives an overview of the state of the art, recent results achieved at BAM and a task list for further results and development.
For more than 60 years ultrasonic rail inspection is used as non-destructive testing method to ensure the safe operation of rail tracks. Constantly increasing traffic density and heavy loads have been the motor for the development of new test equipment from handheld devices to rail inspection trains. (Krull 2003)Up to the present most of the system solutions feature conventional ultrasonic transducers housed in wheel-type and slide-type probes. Different tasks have to be carried out during an in-service inspection for flaws in the rail head, rail web and rail foot as well as rolling contact fatigue (Heckel 2018). The more tasks the inspection system has to perform, the more probes are needed. Compared against standard ultrasonic testing methods the application of array probes offers advantages and flexibility by the electronic steering possibilities to control the transmitted and received sound fields. This allows to increase functionality by software while decreasing the number of probes needed in hardware in parallel. One drawback in application of phased array probes is that the repetition frequency of the subsequent measurements will be reduced by the number of virtual probe functions each phased array probe has to perform. This may limit the range of use for phased array probes in high speed applications. To overcome these limits special designs for array probes and signal processing are necessary.
Additiv gefertigte Prüfkörper aus Polyamid 12 (Laser Sinter Verfahren) und Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (Fused Layer Modeling Verfahren) wurden über 2000 Stunden künstlich bewittert und ihr Alterungsverhalten untersucht. Die Ergebnisse wurden anschließend mit denen von Prüfkörpern verglichen, welche auf dieselbe Weise künstlich bewittert, aber mittels konventionellem Kunststoff-Spritzguss hergestellt wurden.
Die Erkenntnisse dienen für die Entwicklung einer Strategie für eine Qualitätskontrolle von additiv gefertigten Kunststoffteilen.
Das elektromagnetische Radarverfahren ist mit seiner starken Sensitivität für Wasser längst eine etablierte Methode zur zerstörungsfreien Feuchtemessung. Besonders bei geophysikalischen Aufgabenstellungen erfreut es sich großer Beliebtheit, doch auch an Baustoffen wird es immer häufiger zur Ortung von schadensträchtigem Wasser eingesetzt. Somit liefert die Literatur bereits zahlreiche Signalmerkmale, welche einen Rückschluss auf die Feuchte des untersuchten Mediums zulassen. Die Eignung dieser Signalmerkmale zur Messung an Estrichen wurde in Laborstudien anhand des Austrocknungsprozesses nach der Herstellung untersucht. Hierbei kamen zement- und anhydritgebundene Estriche unterschiedlicher Schichtdicke zum Einsatz, wobei die Darr- und die Calciumcarbid-Methode als Referenzverfahren dienten. In der Auswertung erwiesen sich besonders die klassischen Merkmale aus dem Zeitbereich (Amplitude, Laufzeit) als robuste Methoden zur Feuchtemessung. Bei kleinen Schichtdicken und niedrigen Feuchtegehalten ist die Auswertung der klassischen Merkmale jedoch fehleranfällig, v.a. weil die (automatisierte) Separierung von direkter und Reflexionswelle nicht mehr eindeutig ist. Dies wirkt sich besonders auf die jeweiligen Frequenzanteile aus, die i.d.R. nicht zu den klassischen Feuchte-Merkmalen gehören. In weiterführenden Untersuchungen soll der Mehrwert durch multivariate Datenauswertung und Ansätze des maschinellen Lernens geprüft werden. Übergeordnetes Ziel ist der Einsatz des Radarverfahrens an geschichteten Fußbodenaufbauten zur automatisierten und zerstörungsfreien Lokalisierung von Feuchteschäden.
