Die Struktur eines Materials bestimmt wesentlich dessen Gebrauchsverhalten. Diese einfache Weisheit ist Motivation für die ständige Weiterentwicklung des Untersuchungsinstrumentariums zur Gefügekennzeichnung von Baustoffen. Nachdem die Gefügeaufklärung insbesondere bei mineralischen Baustoffen bereits integrierter Bestandteil der Baustoffcharakterisierung ist, erhöht insbesondere die zunehmende Spezialisierung und Weiterentwicklung der Asphaltbaustoffe zusammen mit der Forderung nach gebrauchsgerechtem Leistungsnachweis den Bedarf an methodischer Entwicklung bei der Strukturkennzeichnung. Besondere Möglichkeiten zur tiefenaufgelösten und zerstörungsfreien räumlichen Visualisierung des Gefüges, der Ableitung strukturbeschreibender Kennwerte aber auch für eine anschließende Diskretisierung der inneren Struktur mittels finiter Elemente bietet das Verfahren der Computertomographie mit Röntgenstrahlen. Mit Hilfe verschiedener Anwendungen soll auf die Möglichkeiten dieser Methodik aufmerksam gemacht werden.
Wood is the material that has accompanied the whole development of mankind in various applications, for manufacturing tools and weapons, for buildings and constructions and also as fuel. It has various appearances and is subjected to decomposing changes, so there are sufficient arguments for non-destructive testing of wooden objects in the same way as is common practice with other technologically used materials. However, even today wood is rarely tested. Moreover, artefacts of cultural heritage containing wood are rare and delicate, so dismantling these for studying purposes is undesirable. Radiological inspection technologies are the methods of choice to provide a non-destructive insight. Interrogations of a specimen with various kinds of radiation provide different answers about their internal structures. High-quality detailed images are achievable with X-rays or gamma radiation in cases where heavy metals or other dense materials are not involved. Neutrons behave complementarily; they are avidly absorbed by light elements such as hydrogen on the one hand and yet are capable of easily penetrating heavy metals on the other. This provides an alternative for X-ray radiography and tomography when material characteristics are of primary interest rather than structural details, or when shielding with plates or sleeves of heavy metal severely impedes inspections with X-ray or gamma radiation technologies. However, due to the moderating effect of wooden samples it is essential to use fast neutrons for radiography and tomography of voluminous objects. Some typical examples described here will show the difference between neutron and X-ray photon-based radiographic technologies.
Precautions in the generation of surfaces from CT images should be the rule. Two different data sets of the bust of Nefertiti and additional data from an industrial CT scanner will show the conflicts that arise when defining a surface. The recent trend in CT is to extract surfaces from CT measurements which can compete with the accuracy of tactile measurements. As CT is complicated by artefacts, a lot of precautions need to be taken in order to get exact results. More errors are introduced, if the surface of an object made from different dense materials is calculated. A publication in April 2009 of "Radiology" dealt with the surface of the stone behind the stucco layer of the famous bust of the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti in the Ägytische Museum Berlin. Using this data, we will show the different problems that arise from inadequate image processing. Furthermore, a detailed comparison of the two CT measurements made 14 years apart is given. Conclusions: Respect the traps in virtual imaging.
Die Dauerhaftigkeit von Betonbauteilen zu einer messbaren Größe zu machen, ist ein vorrangiges Ziel der Baustoffforschung. Schrumpfen, Schwinden und Temperaturverformungen gefährden bei Hochleistungsbetonen deren Dauerhaftigkeit. Die begleitende messtechnische Deformationsmessung wird daher zu einer unverzichtbaren Methode, Betonrezepturen zielsicher und ökonomisch hinsichtlich der Dauerhaftigkeit zu entwickeln. Ein flexibler Fabry-Pérot-Interferometer-Sensor ermöglicht die messtechnische Erfassung der frühen Deformationsprozesse bereits ab dem Moment des Betoneinbaus. Der Artikel zeigt das Sensorprinzip, Untersuchungen zur In-situ-Referenzierung und zur Rückwirkung des Sensors sowie dessen Einsatzmöglichkeiten in der Baustoff- und Materialforschung. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The primary intention of construction materials research is to refer the durability of concrete members to a measurable parameter. Setting, shrinkage, and temperature deformations compromise the durability of high-performance concrete. The respective deformation measurement technology is becoming an indispensible method for the targeted and economic development of concrete mixtures with respect to durability. A flexible EFPI sensor enables the survey of early age deformations directly after placing the concrete. The paper deals with the sensor principle, investigations concerning in-situ referencing, and possible effects of the sensor on the matrix as well as its application in the field of materials research.
Integration of fiber reinforcement in high-performance cementitious materials has become widely applied in many fields of construction. One of the most investigated advantages of steel Fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) is the deceleration of crack growth and hence its improved sustainability.
Additional benefits are associated with its structural properties, as fibers can significantly increase the ductility and the tensile strength of concrete. In some applications it is even possible to entirely replace the conventional reinforcement, leading to significant logistical and environmental benefits.
Fiber reinforcement can, however, have critical disadvantages and even hinder the Performance of concrete, since it can induce an anisotropic material behavior of the mixture if the fibers are not appropriately oriented. For a safe use of SFRC in the future, reliable non-destructive testing (NDT) methods need to be identified to assess the fibers’ orientation in hardened concrete. In this study,
ultrasonic material testing, electrical impedance testing, and X-ray computed tomography have been investigated for this purpose using specially produced samples with biased or random Fiber orientations. We demonstrate the capabilities of each of these NDT techniques for fiber orientation measurements and draw conclusions based on these results about the most promising areas for future research and development.
Targeting biomedical applications, Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) gyroid sheet-based structures were successfully manufactured for the first time by Electron Beam Melting in two different production Themes, i.e., inputting a zero (Wafer Theme) and a 200 µm (Melt Theme) wall thickness. Initial assumption was that in both cases, EBM manufacturing should yield the structures with similar mechanical properties as in a Wafer-mode, as wall thickness is determined by the minimal beam spot size of ca 200 µm. Their surface morphology, geometry, and mechanical properties were investigated by means of electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT), and uniaxial tests (both compression and tension). Application of different manufacturing Themes resulted in specimens with different wall thicknesses while quasi-elastic gradients for different Themes was found to be of 1.5 GPa, similar to the elastic modulus of human cortical bone tissue. The specific energy absorption at 50% strain was also similar for the two types of structures. Finite element simulations were also conducted to qualitatively analyze the deformation process and the stress distribution under mechanical load. Simulations demonstrated that in the elastic regime wall, regions oriented parallel to the load are primarily affected by deformation. We could conclude that gyroids manufactured in Wafer and Melt Themes are equally effective in mimicking mechanical properties of the bones.
Additively manufactured (AM) metallic sheet-based Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Structures (TPMSS) meet several requirements in both bio-medical and engineering fields: Tunable mechanical properties, low sensitivity to manufacturing defects, mechanical stability, and high energy absorption. However, they also present some challenges related to quality control, which can prevent their successful application. In fact, the optimization of the AM process is impossible without considering structural characteristics as manufacturing accuracy, internal defects, as well as surface topography and roughness. In this study, the quantitative non-destructive analysis of TPMSS manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V alloy by electron beam melting was performed by means of X-ray computed tomography (XCT). Several advanced image analysis workflows are presented to evaluate the effect of build orientation on wall thicknesses distribution, wall degradation, and surface roughness reduction due to the chemical etching of TPMSS. It is shown that the manufacturing accuracy differs for the structural elements printed parallel and orthogonal to the manufactured layers. Different strategies for chemical etching show different powder removal capabilities and both lead to the loss of material and hence the gradient of the wall thickness. This affects the mechanical performance under compression by reduction of the yield stress. The positive effect of the chemical etching is the reduction of the surface roughness, which can potentially improve the fatigue properties of the components. Finally, XCT was used to correlate the amount of retained powder with the pore size of the functionally graded TPMSS, which can further improve the manufacturing process.
Investigation of chloride-induced pitting corrosion of steel in concrete with innovative methods
(2016)
The combination of electrochemical and 3D computed tomography (CT) investigations offers the possibility of verifying electrochemical measurements non-destructively. Determining the steel surfaces damaged by pitting corrosion allows developing specimens having damage pattern corresponding to practice. Corrosion phenomena like decoupled pitting corrosion cannot be verified by electrochemical measurements only, but with the combination of those two kinds of investigations it is possible. Another advantage is the minimization of the number of samples. The classical experimental procedure requires the destruction of samples after each damage step.This can be avoided by the use of 3D computed tomography. As long as the corrosion phenomena are completely within the examination zone shown by the 3D computed tomography, the electrochemical measurements can be calculated on an area basis to get the specific corrosion rate or polarization resistance.
