In the recent years, more and more products in construction and automotive industry are bonded by adhesive tapes instead of mechanical fasteners but there is no sufficient understanding of how these bonded, layered materials behave in fires. Our research project gives an insight of how adhesives and substrates interact with each other in different fire scenarios and how flame retardants function in pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) tapes. A systematic investigation on the burning behavior of PSA tapes as free-standing films, as top layers on different substrates and as sandwich-like adhesive joints was performed. The burning behavior of free-standing PSA tapes and those used as a coating was significantly improved by using phosphorus-based flame retardants. Furthermore, it was shown that, depending on tape structure and substrate, the PSA tape can lower the fire risk by acting as an intermediate protection layer in bonded materials.
minimum explosion concentration (MEC) and limiting oxygen concentration (LOC) in our recent works. This work further studies the reasonability and reliability of the alternative method experimentally and theoretically. Six different dust samples were tested via a 20-L spherical explosion chamber. The experimental results showed that the data of MEC and LOC determined by using the alternative and the standardized methods are in good agreement. The minimum flame propagation velocity (Sf) and the corresponding maximum combustion duration time (tc) were found at its MEC and LOC, suggesting that the theoretical analysis can well explain all the experimental data. It is the first time to study the theoretical basis of the explosion criterion, thus helping to improve our understandings of dust explosion characteristics, and to amend the explosion criterion in future test standards.
Das Ultraschall-Echo-Verfahren ist eine klassische zerstörungsfreie Prüftechnik zur Geometriebestimmung sowie Schadensanalyse von Betonkonstruktionen. 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.
To improve ultrasonic imaging of concrete structures, we transferred a seismic migration technique, the Reverse Time Migration (RTM), to non-destructive testing. A 2D elastic RTM algorithm was tested on synthetic ultrasonic echo data. Compared to the typically used synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) as well as our acoustic RTM algorithm, the presented elastic RTM results show an enhancement in imaging vertical reflectors and complex features inside the 2D numerical concrete model.
The ultrasonic echo technique is widely used in non-destructive testing for investigation and damage analysis of concrete constructions. 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.
Application of Intensity-Based Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry to Bridge Monitoring
(2022)
Although distributed fiber sensing techniques have been widely used in structural health monitoring, the measurement results of bridge monitoring, particularly under destructive testing, have rarely been reported. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first report of distributed vibration measurement results, which we obtained during a three-day destructive test on an abolished bridge. A coherent optical time domain reflectometry (COTDR) was used to acquire the vibration information while the bridge was being sawed. The obtained signal was analyzed in time and frequency domain. Some characteristics of the sawing-induced vibration were retrieved by the short-time Fourier transform; the vibration exhibited several high frequency components within the measured range up to 20 kHz and all the components appeared in the same time slot. Some unexpected signals were also detected. Thorough analysis showed that they are quite different from the sawing-induced vibration and are believed to originate from internal damage to the bridge (probably the occurrence of cracks).
Each engineering decision is based on a number of more or less accurate information. In assessment of existing structures, additional relevant information collected with on-site inspections facilitate better decisions. However, observed data basically represents the physical characteristic of interest with an uncertainty. This uncertainty is a measure of the inspection quality and can be quantified by expressing the measurement uncertainty. The internationally accepted rules for calculating measurement uncertainty are well established and can be applied straightforwardly in many practical cases. Nevertheless, the calculations require the occasionally time-consuming development of an individually suitable measurement model. This contribution attempts to emphasize proposals for modelling the non-destructive depth measurement of tendons in concrete using the ultrasonic echo technique. The proposed model can serve as guideline for the determination of the quality of the measured information in future comparable inspection scenarios.
