Guided wave ultrasonic features in composite overwrapped pressure vessels towards digital twin
(2023)
The digitalization of quality control processes and the underlying data infrastructures for safety relevant components, such as hydrogen pressure vessels, plays a significant role in the transition towards Industry 4.0. In the current safety regulations for hydrogen pressure vessels, there is no established concept for structural health monitoring. The development of a reliable structural health monitoring methodology for monitoring the structural integrity of pressure vessels enables a fast-forward transition from personnel- and costintensive recurring inspections, a.k.a. periodic maintenance, to predictive maintenance. In the work presented; we investigated the application of ultrasonic guided wave propagation to monitor and assess the condition of Type IV composite overwrapped pressure vessel (COPV). A sensor network of fifteen piezo-electric wafers is placed on the carbon fibre reinforced composite cylinder. Five different artificial damage configurations are created by gluing two different weight blocks on three different locations. The database containing measured guided wave data sets is enriched by two different boundary conditions. We utilized an open-source software, openBIS labnotebook, to store and analyse experimental datasets. The guided wave ultrasonic signals were investigated and analysed by using commonly used ultrasonic features (e.g., amplitude, frequency, time of flight) as well as non-traditional time-series features (kurtosis, skewness, variance). The features were used to calculate damage index and the detection performance for the results has been evaluated. The results suggest that both traditional and non-traditional features assume significant importance in artificial damage detection. The future works will additionally involve the impacts of operational conditions, such as periodic pressure variations temperature loadings as well as material degradations.
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.
For a long time, the rule of thumb for active thermography as a non-destructive testing method was that the resolution of internal defects/inhomogeneities is limited to a ratio of defect depth/defect size ≤ 1. This is due to the diffusive nature of thermal conduction in solids. So-called super resolution approaches have recently allowed this physical limit to be overcome many times over. This offers the attractive possibility of developing thermography from a purely near surface-sensitive testing method to one with improved depth range. How far this development can be pushed is the subject of current research.
We have already been able to show that this classical limitation for one- and two-dimensional defect geometries can be overcome by illuminating the test object sequentially in a structured manner with individual laser spots and thus subsequently calculating a defect map from the resulting measurement data by applying photothermal super resolution reconstruction, which allows significantly improved separation of individual closely spaced defects. As a result, this method benefits strongly from the combination of sequential spatially structured illumination and modern numerical optimization methods, which come at the expense of higher experimental complexity. This leads to long measurement times, large data sets, and tedious numerical analysis, in contrast to the application of established standard thermographic methods with homogeneous illumination.
In this work, we report on the application of full-area spatially structured two-dimensional illumination patterns, which, by applying state-of-the-art laser projector technology in conjunction with a high-power laser, makes it possible to achieve an efficient implementation of photothermal super-resolution reconstruction even for larger test areas in the first place.
International standards describing reliable protocols will facilitate the commercialization of graphene and related 2D materials. One physico-chemical key property next to flake size and thickness is the chemical composition of the material. Therefore, an ISO standard is under development with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy having a prominent role. With its information depth of around 10 nm which is the similar length scale as the thickness as of particles of 2D materials consisting of a few monolayer XPS seems to be highly suitable for this purpose. Different sample preparation methods like pressing the powders onto adhesive tapes, into recesses, or into solid pellets result in inconsistencies in the quantification. For the validation of the quantification with XPS an interlaboratory comparison was initiated under the auspice of the “Versailles Project on Advanced Materials and Standards” (VAMAS). First results confirm that the sample preparation method (pellet vs. powder) influences the quantification results clearly.

Modular chemical production is a tangible implementation of the digital transformation of the specialty chemicals process industry. In particular, it enables acceleration of process development and thus faster time to market by flexibly interconnecting and orchestrating standardized physical modules and bringing them to life. For this purpose, specific (chemical) sensors of process analytics are needed, preferably without lengthy calibration or spectroscopic model development.
An excellent example of a "direct" analytical method is online nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. NMR spectroscopy meets the requirements of a direct analytical method because of the direct correlation between the signal area in the spectrum ("counting" the nuclear spins) and the analyte amount of substance concentrations. It is also extremely linear over the concentration range.
With the availability of compact benchtop NMR instruments, it is now possible to bring NMR spectroscopy directly into the field, in close proximity to specialized laboratory facilities, pilot plants, and even industrial-scale production facilities. The first systems are in TRL 8 (Qualified System with Proof of Functionality in the Field).
The presentation will discuss the many building blocks of online nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, from flow cells to automated data analysis.

Luminescent Nanoparticles – From Photophysics to the Measurement of Photoluminescence Quantum Yields
(2023)
Inorganic nanocrystals with linear and nonlinear photoluminescence in the ultraviolet, visible, near infrared and short-wave infrared like spectrally shifting lanthanide-based nanoparticles (LnNCs) like NaYF4: Yb, Er and semiconductor quantum dots have meanwhile found applications in the life and material sciences ranging from optical reporters for bioimaging and sensing over security barcodes to solid state lighting and photovoltaics. The identification of optimum particle architectures for photonic applications requires quantitative spectroscopic studies, ideally flanked by single particle studies to assess spectroscopic inhomogeneities on a particle-to-particle level for typical preparation methods. In the following, photoluminescence studies of LnNCs are presented, addressing parameters such as particle size, surface coating, and dopant ion concentration as well as excitation power density mandatory for a profound mechanistic understanding of the nonradiative deactivation pathways in these nanocrystals. In addition, methods for the determination of particle brightness and photoluminescence quantum yield in different spectral windows are presented.
This talk introduces the expanded view that comes from wide-range X-ray scattering investigations.
Compared to X-ray diffraction studies alone, the additional angular range of this technique provides information on the larger structural dimensions present in your samples. This allows for the extraction of information on the size and size distribution of nanostructural components, such as nanoparticles, nanovoids, and any other structure exhibiting an electron density contrast.
The talk introduces the technique, the MOUSE instrument used for these investigations, and provides several real-world examples of its uses. The audience is invited to choose which examples captures their interest from a range of options, in the latter segment of the talk.
