A semi-automatic thermographic procedure for the assessment of the welded area of resistance projection welded joints has been developed. Currently, to assess the quality of RPW joints destructive tests are used and the more commonly used non-destructive technique is the ultrasonic one. The possibility for a quantitative evaluation of the welded area by thermographic technique has been proved by means of an innovative procedure applied on steel RPW joints with ‘as it’ surface conditions. Measurements obtained by thermography and ultrasound have been compared, to verify the developed procedure.
Manufacturing austenitic stainless steels (ASSs) using additive manufacturing is of great interest for cryogenic applications. Here, the mechanical and microstructural responses of a 316L ASS built by laser powder bed fusion were revealed by performing in situ neutron diffraction tensile tests at the low-temperature range (from 373 to 10 K). The stacking fault energy almost linearly decreased from 29.2 ± 3.1 mJm⁻² at 373 K to 7.5 ± 1.7 mJm⁻² at 10 K, with a slope of 0.06 mJm⁻²K⁻¹, leading to the transition of the dominant deformation mechanism from strain-induced twinning to martensite formation. As a result, excellent combinations of strength and ductility were achieved at the low-temperature range.
The evaluation of technical components and materials in terms of condition and quality with the aid of non-destructive testing methods plays an outstanding role both in industrial serial production and in the individual assessment of components. The ultrasonic echo method is used for a wide variety of testing tasks, such as measuring the thickness of a component. At the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) in Berlin, test methods are developed and their performance is demonstrated. For this purpose, references such as materials, test procedures or data sets are generated, which are used to evaluate these developed test methods. An important component of these references are data sets that are created according to the BAM Data Policy and made available to the scientific community and users of test methods in practice on the basis of the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse).
Capillary active interior insulation materials are an important approach to minimize energy losses of historical buildings. A key factor for their performance is a high liquid conductivity, which enables redistribution of liquid moisture within the material. We set up an experiment to investigate the development of moisture profiles within two different interior insulation materials, calcium-silicate (CaSi) and expanded perlite (EP), under constant boundary conditions. The moisture profiles were determined by two different methods: simple destructive sample slicing with subsequent thermogravimetric drying as well as non-destructive NMR measurements with high spatial resolution. The moisture profiles obtained from both methods show good agreement, when compared at the low spatial resolution of sample slicing, which demonstrates the reliability of this method. Moreover, the measured T2- relaxation-time distributions across the sample depth were measured, which may give further insight into the saturation degree of the different pore sizes. In order to explain differences in the moisture profiles between CaSi and EP, we determined their pore-size distribution with different methods: conversion of the NMR T2 relaxationtime distribution at full saturation, mercury intrusion porosimetry and indirect determination from pressure plate measurements. CaSi shows a unimodal distribution at small pore diameters, while in EP, a bi-modal or wider distribution was found. We assume that the smaller pore diameters of CaSi lead to a higher capillary conductivity, which causes a more distributed moisture profile in comparison with that of EP.

In this work, we report on our progress for investigating a new experimental approach for thermographic detection of internal defects by performing 2D photothermal super resolution reconstruction. We use modern high-power laser projector technology to repeatedly excite the sample surface photothermally with varying spatially structured 2D pixel patterns. In the subsequent (blind) numerical reconstruction, multiple measurements are combined by exploiting the joint-sparse nature of the defects within the specimen using nonlinear convex optimization methods. As a result, a 2D-sparse defect/inhomogeneity map can be obtained. Using such spatially structured heating combined with compressed sensing and computational imaging methods allows to significantly reduce the experimental complexity and to study larger test surfaces as compared to the one-dimensional approach reported earlier.
Klebeverbindungen sind aus dem heutigen Leichtbau wie der Automobil- und Luftfahrtindustrie nicht mehr wegzudenken. Durch die Verklebung gleicher oder ungleicher Materialien entstehen viele Vorteile gegenüber konservativen Fügeverfahren wie dem Schweißen oder dem Nieten. Aufgrund hoher Sicherheits- und Qualitätsansprüche wird die Festigkeit dieser Verbindungen jedoch noch immer zerstörend geprüft. Zuverlässige und zufriedenstellende zerstörungsfreie Verfahren, insbesondere um schwache Haftfestigkeiten zu prüfen, sind nicht vorhanden und Thema gegenwärtiger Forschung. Ein Ansatz, der in diesem Projekt verfolgt wird, liegt in der Verwendung geführter Ultraschallwellen und der gezielten Auswertung spezifischer Bereiche des Dispersionsdiagrams, den sogenannten Mode Repulsion Regions, welche eine potenzielle Charakterisierung der Haftfestigkeiten zulassen könnten.
Hierzu wurden neben Simulationen mittels der sogenannten SBFEM, zur Findung geeigneter Charakterisierungsparameter, auch experimentelle zerstörungsfreie Untersuchungen von verklebten Zweischichtstrukturen aus Aluminium und Polycarbonat mittels geführter Ultraschallwellen durchgeführt . Hierzu dienten Voruntersuchungen an Stirnabzugsproben mittels zerstörender Validierungsmessungen zur Ermittlung geeigneter Oberflächenbearbeitungen zur Herstellung verschiedener Haftfestigkeiten. Mit Niederdruckplasma behandelte Proben dienten bei den zerstörungsfreien Messungen als ideale Referenzklebung gegenüber den schwächeren Haftfestigkeiten.
Es konnten verschiedenste Haftfestigkeiten reproduzierbar hergestellt, zerstörend validiert und zerstörungsfrei mittels geführter Ultraschallwellen untersucht werden. Die Ausprägungen bestimmter Mode Repulsion Regions zeigen eine vielversprechende Sensitivität, welche durch ein geeigneten Parameter charakterisiert werden konnten.
The rails of modern railways face an enormous wear and tear from ever increasing train speeds and loads. This necessitates diligent non-destructive testing for defects of the entire railway system.
Non-destructive testing of rail tracks is carried out by rail inspection trains equipped with ultrasonic and eddy current test devices. However, the evaluation of the gathered data is mainly done manually with a strong focus on ultrasonic data, and defects are checked on-site using hand-held testing equipment. Maintenance measures are derived based on these on-site findings.
The aim of the AIFRI project (Artificial Intelligence For Rail Inspection) is to
- increase the degree of automation of the inspection process, from the evaluation of the data to the planning of maintenance measures,
- increase the accuracy of defect detection,
- automatically classify detected indications into risk classes.
These aims will be achieved by training a neural network for defect detection and classification. Since the current testing data is unbalanced, insufficiently labeled and largely unverified we will supplement fused, simulated eddy current and ultrasonic testing data in form of a configurable digital twin.
Non-destructive testing of rail tracks is carried out by using rail inspection cars equipped with ultrasonic and eddy current measurement. The evaluation of test data is mainly done manually, supported by a software tool which pre-selects relevant indications shown to the evaluators. The resulting indications have to be checked on-site using hand-held testing equipment. Maintenance interventions are then derived on the basis of these on-site findings.
Overall aim of the AIFRI (Artificial Intelligence For Rail Inspection) project - funded by the German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) as part of the mFUND programme under funding code 19FS2014 – is to increase the degree of automation of the inspection process from the evaluation of the data to the planning of maintenance interventions. The accuracy of defect detection shall be increased by applying AI methods in order to enable an automated classification of detected indications into risk classes. For this purpose, data from both eddy current inspections and ultrasonic inspections will be used in combination.
Within the framework of this data-driven project, relevant defect patterns and artefacts present in the rail are analysed and implemented into a configurable digital twin. With the help of this digital twin virtual defects can be generated and used to train AI algorithms for detection and classification. With the help of reliability assessment trained AI algorithms will be evaluated with regard to the resulting quality in defect detection and characterisation.
A particular aspect of the development of AI methods is the data fusion of different NDT data sources: Thereby, synergies are used that arise from linking eddy current and ultrasonic inspection data in a combined model.
In the course of the project a demonstrator consisting of the developed IT-tool and an asset management system will be implemented and tested in the field using real-world data.
Structural health monitoring techniques associate strongly with damage detection and characterization. Ultrasonic guided waves (UGW), for such scope, arise as one of the most promising methods for many reasons i.e. UGW are able to travel long distances and they have high sensitivity to damage. In this context, the necessity to model realistic wave-defect interaction occurs to be critical.
Realistic damage scenarios can be modeled through the usage of image-based quadtree meshes. Images, such as the outcome from X-ray scans, C-scans, etc., can be converted into meshes for further integration in a computational domain. Quadtree meshes are created by converting the intensity of the pixels to quadrilateral cells. Homogeneous regions inside one image result in one quad, whereas fine features such as discontinuities can be described with smaller quads.
This contribution proposes an efficient methodology to model wave defect interaction, using as a framework the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) and quadtree meshes. Problems as non-conforming regions in the mesh due to the space tree decomposition can be easily avoided using SBFEM’s polygonal elements. Moreover, the semi-analytical nature of the SBFEM allows the modeling of arbitrarily long prismatic/undamaged regions of the waveguides without an increase in the computational burden.
