Partial discharges may cause damage to electrical insulation of high voltage equipment. They initiate elastic waves in the insulating material, e.g. in the stress cone of an outdoor termination. Localisation of the origin of such elastic waves can help to predict serious damaging processes in the electrical insulation. In order to measure and evaluate the wave propagation effects in typical multilayered elastomeric structures, knowledge of the material properties is required. The propagating velocity and the attenuation of longitudinal waves are important parameters. Values for these quantities found in the literature were not appropriate. Therefore, for cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and cured liquid silicone rubber (LSR), the longitudinal wave velocity and the attenuation were evaluated in the temperature interval from -20°C to 50°C and in the frequency range from 200 kHz to 600 kHz using a two-sample ultrasound technique. The loss factor was determined from these measured quantities. Additionally, low frequency Dynamic Mechanical Thermal Analysis (DMTA) was applied to investigate LSR and XLPE in a temperature interval between -100 and 50°C and to check qualitatively the ultrasound data.
Embedded conventional fibre Bragg grating (FBG) sensors with acrylate coating have been chosen for monitoring novel textile-reinforced composite materials with a complicated wavy structure as a result of reinforcing textures. Problems of monitoring this type of material occur due to the harsh fabrication technology of the composite and its complicated structure. Embedded fibre sensors are exposed to the influence of transverse and point-wise deformations. To what extent will these effects influence the measurement signal of a sensor? Temperature cycles, tension and vibration tests were carried out to answer this question. Transverse and point-wise deformation and micromechanical indentation tests on non-embedded FBG sensors were carried out to clarify the reliability of recorded signals.
Fibre-optic sensors are more and more used in geotechnical and civil engineering. There are a big number of applications with the purpose of improvement or proof of the structural integrity. This paper, presents two examples where different fibre sensor types.are exploited for safety-relevant task in geotechnique. Technical textiles with embedded distributed fibre-optic sensors based on Brillouin Scattering in silica optical fibres and OTDR (optical time-domain reflectometry) in polymer optical fibres are presented. Such “smart” technical textiles can be used for reinforcement of geotechnical structures and masonry walls, and the embedded fibre-optic sensors can provide information about the condition of the structures as well as detect the presence of any damage and destructions in real time. Highly sensitive fibre-optic geophones based on Fabry-Perot sensors embedded in large concrete pile can be used for precise measurement of Deformation and wave distribution during static and dynamic pile test. Such sensors make the evaluation of the pile’s integrity and load-bearing capacity easier.
A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain patch specially adapted for long-term and high-strain applications has been developed and characterized. The design concept for the patch is based on a glass-fiber reinforced plastic (gfrp) carrier material. The developed concept for the FBG integration into the carrier material was derived from reliable integration procedure of FBG sensors into composite structures. The patches' temperature sensitivity, strain gauge factor, fiber–matrix interface adhesion and fatigue behavior were characterized. As a result, FBG strain patches with linear temperature and strain behavior, as well as excellent fatigue resistance, were developed and can be used as part of a monitoring system for advanced composite materials in aerospace structures or wind turbine power plants.
Zur Gründung von Bauwerken auf weichen, gering tragfähigen Böden werden unter anderem Betonpfähle, einzeln oder in Pfahlgruppen, eingesetzt. Deren Bewertung bzgl. Tragverhalten bzw. Integrität ist bei bestimmten Baugrundverhältnissen und Pfahlgeometrien schwierig. Hierfür werden statische und dynamische Pfahlprüfungen durchgeführt. Aus Messwerten vom Pfahlkopf bzw. vom oberen Pfahlbereich werden üblicherweise die notwendigen Aussagen abgeleitet. Eine genauere Bewertung ist möglich, wenn präzise Messwerte über die gesamte Pfahllänge vorliegen. Deshalb wurden hochauflösende betoneinbettbare Messwertaufnehmer auf Basis von Faser-Fabry-Perot-Sensoren entwickelt, die in Modell- und in realen Rammpfählen getestet wurden. Der Beitrag beschreibt den Sensor, die Installation und exemplarisch einige Testergebnisse zur Erfassung der Wellenausbreitung im Modellpfahl. Feldtests wurden zurzeit der Erstellung des Manuskripts erfolgreich begonnen.
Reinforced concrete piles are often used for structures on non-sufficiently bearing soil areas. Assessment of bearing capacity and bearing behaviour of large concrete piles remains a difficult task under specific soil conditions and pile geometries. Usually static and dynamic pile tests are carried out for quality assurance. From dynamic measurements taken only from the pile head, the bearing behaviour and structural integrity can be derived using the one-dimensional theory of wave propagation. More precise information about the pile features can be achieved by highly resolving fibre-optic sensors based on Fabry-Perot technology, distributed over several locations along the pile length. Small scale piles and real driven piles have been tested. This paper describes the sensor, the sensor installation, and experimental results of tests in laboratory as well as test results for recording the wave propagation in the small scale piles.
