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.
