Results of experimental investigations of the relationship between laser-hybrid welding process parameters, type of the filler metal and the mechanical properties of the welds made from 9% nickel cryogenic steel X8Ni9 are discussed. The results contribute to the development and conversion in the industrial practice a new laser beam-based welding technology for the automated manufacturing of LNG tanks. The remarkable heterogeneity in the chemical composition of the weld metal as well as an insufficient impact toughness could be indicated by using austenitic filler wire. The most promising results were achieved by applying 11%Ni filler wire, which is similar to the base material. A correlation between impact toughness and wire feeding speed could be shown. The highest impact toughness was 134 J at -196°C. The laser-hybrid welds passed the tensile test. The failure stress of 720 MPa with a fracture location in the base metal was achieved for all samples tested.
Single-pass Hybrid Laser Arc Welding of Thick Materials Using Electromagnetic Weld Pool Support
(2019)
Hybrid laser-arc welding process allows single-pass welding of thick materials, provides good quality formation of joints with minimal thermal deformations and a high productivity in comparison with arc-based welding processes. Nevertheless, thick-walled steels with a thickness of 20 mm or more are still multi-pass welded using arc welding processes, due to increased process instability by increasing laser power. One limitation factor is the inadmissible formation of gravity drop-outs at the root. To prevent this, an innovative concept of electromagnetic weld pool support is used in this study. With help of such system a stable welding process can be established for 25 mm thick steel plates and beyond. Sound welds could be obtained which are tolerant to gaps and misalignment of the welded parts. The adaptation of this system to laser and hybrid laser-arc welding process can dramatically increase the potential field of application of these technologies for real industrial implementation.
Construction methods, environmental stressors, and aging factors are the main causes for defects of reinforced concrete in nuclear power plants (NPP). These defects are typically occurred as corrosion of reinforcement steel, delamination, cracks, malfunction of post-tensioning or steel composite systems etc. Some of the challenges for assessing the performance of these structures by nondestructive testing methods (NDT) are that the assessment could be performed only during the annual overhauls when testing is time-limited and uncertainty of the accuracy and reliability of the available NDT testing devices combined with the lack of the international uniformity of the methods used for NDT tests. To overcome these challenges, a mock-up wall representing a section of the concrete containment of the NPP was built. The mock-up wall included simulated defects, which mimic the most common types of defects in NPP concrete structures such as dimensional errors, honeycombing, delamination, defects adjacent to the steel liner and voids in grouted tendon ducts for the post-tensioned structures. This paper introduces the design and construction of the wall including the concrete properties, reinforcement, tendon ducts and the types of the simulated defects. The paper also introduces the NDT methods and techniques that are suitable for assessing the condition of the mock-up wall under the real environmental conditions. These techniques include mechanical methods as rebound hammer, ultrasonic and electromagnetic methods. This mock-up wall will enable to investigate reliably available NDT methods and experts’ skills providing also an important and very much need educational platform for future NDE experts.
Die Explosionsbereiche für Dreistoffsysteme aus Brennstoff, Inertgas und Luft wurden nach dem Modell der konstanten adiabatischen Flammentemperaturprofile berechnet. Für die Parametrisierung des halbempirischen Modells muss der Explosionsbereich für ein bestimmtes Dreistoffsystem aus Brennstoff, Inertgas und Luft bekannt sein. Dann lassen sich Explosionsbereiche desselben Brennstoffs mit einem beliebigen Inertgas und bei einer beliebigen Temperatur berechnen. Ergänzend zu früheren Arbeiten, in denen die Explosionsbereiche für Brenngase aus der homologen Reihe der Alkane und Alkene berechnet worden sind, wurden nun die Berechnungen für 1-Propanol, Aceton und Difluormethan durchgeführt. Als Inertgase wurden neben Stickstoff und Kohlendioxid auch die Edelgase Argon und Helium berücksichtigt. Für die Berechnung der Explosionsbereiche in Systemen mit Helium, ist das Modell erweitert worden, so dass auch die Transporteigenschaften (d.h. Wärmeleitfähigkeit, Diffusionskoeffizient) der Komponenten berücksichtigt werden. Weiterhin ist eine Möglichkeit zur praxisnahen Berechnung der Spitze des Explosionsbereichs implementiert worden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen insgesamt, dass die Berechnung der Explosionsbereiche für Alkohole, Ketone und halogenierte Kohlenwasserstoffe mit ähnlicher Genauigkeit wie für Alkane und Alkene möglich ist. Die vorgenommenen Modifikationen sind geeignet, um auch eine Berechnung für Gasgemische mit Helium durchzuführen, dessen starke inertisierende Wirkung im Vergleich zu den Inertgasen Argon oder Stickstoff vor allem auf den stark unterschiedlichen Transporteigenschaften beruht. Für die Analyse der physikalischen Vorgänge, die zur Zündung führen, ist eine spezielle Kontaktvorrichtung entwickelt worden. Damit können die Entladungen > 200 µm Länge und mit einer Dauer von > 500 µs an einer bestimmbaren Position erzeugt und untersucht werden.
Für die Entladungen an der Zündgrenze bei niedrigen Spannungs- und Stromwerten (max. 30 V, 30 bis 100 mA Konstantstrombegrenzung) sind die Bedingung für die Erzeugung ermittelt worden. Das sind die Rauheit auf der Kontaktoberfläche, die langsame Kontaktöffnungsbewegung und eine geeignet regelnde Spannungsquelle mit Konstantstrombegrenzung. Damit sind für diese Entladungen an der Zündgrenze die Strom-Spannungs-Kennlinie, das Spektrum mit dominierenden Linien von Cadmium-Metalldampf sowie die Temperaturverläufe ermittelt worden.
Hollow axle inspection can be performed without demounting the axles and without dismantling the wheels and the brake discs by using the drilling for the scan. To increase inspection reliability and inspection speed, the application of phased array systems instead of conventional probes is a good choice. For solid shaft inspection phased array setups became standard in the recent years. Nevertheless, for hollow axle inspection typically a number of conventional probes rotating through the axles drilling are applied.
The new approach uses an electronically steered rotating sound field from a phased array for the circumferential scan. This is realized by a cone shaped phased array which operates in immersion technique. That allows a significant increase in inspection speed and a reduction of the mechanical effort of the inspection system. The inspection can be carried out by a linear movement of the probe setup along the axles drilling. Applying additional focal laws allows exact inclination and focusing of the sound beam in the plane vertical to the specimen axis to concentrate the sound in the zones close to the external surface. An additional focus in the plane of incidence increases overall resolution and sensitivity.
The cone type phased array probe has been optimized to detect transversal flaws in and close to the outer surface of the hollow axle with orientation in the radial-radial plane. The prototype probe system, sound field simulations and measurement results are presented.
Vorgestellt wird ein 2018 gestartetes Projekt zur Überprüfung der Extrapolation von im Labormaßstab ermittelten Selbstentzündungstemperaturen auf technisch relevante Volumina. Für die Ermittlung reaktionskinetischer Daten von Feststoffschüttungen stehen eine Reihe von Untersuchungsmethoden zur Verfügung. Dies sind thermische Analysen wie z.B. die differential scanning calorimetry DSC sowie Mikrokalorimetrie zur hochgenauen Messung von Wärmeströmen, bei denen sehr geringe Probenmengen zum Einsatz kommen. In der Regel wird das Selbstentzündungsverhalten jedoch mit Hilfe von isoperibolen oder adiabaten Warmlagerungsversuchen beurteilt, hier liegen die Probenvolumina üblicherweise im Bereich von ca. 100 cm³ bis zu einigen Litern. Die Extrapolation über mehrere Größenordnungen auf technische Volumina birgt Unsicherheiten, da mit Zunahme des Lagervolumens veränderte Start- und Randbedingungen vorliegen können. Zudem besteht die Möglichkeit, dass bei in technischen Lagern vorherrschenden niedrigen Temperaturen Reaktionen ablaufen, die in Standard- Laborversuchen nicht erfasst werden aber einen wesentlichen Einfluss auf das Selbstentzündungsverhalten aufweisen können. Hauptziel des Projektes ist es daher, die im Labormaßstab vorhandenen Prüfeinrichtungen durch einen Versuchsstand zur Untersuchung von Probengrößen von bis zu 1000 dm³ zu erweitern, die Eignung (oder Nichteignung) der etablierten Methoden nachzuweisen und im Labormaßstab nicht erfassbare Einflussgrößen zu ermitteln. Zudem sollen anhand der kleinskaligen Tests Entscheidungskriterien abgeleitet werden, ob eine Extrapolation nach den derzeit üblichen Methoden zulässig ist.
The influence of prestraining on the aging response of an Al-Cu-Li alloy is investigated by preparation of different strain states (3 %, 4 %, 6 %) of the initial aging state. The Brinell hardness of the subsequently aged samples (up to 60 h aging time) was measured and it was found that the increasing dislocation concentration in the 3 different initial states leads to faster hardness increases and slightly higher maximum hardness.
Remote gas sensors like those based on the Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) enable mobile robots to scan huge areas for gas concentrations in reasonable time and are therefore well suited for tasks such as gas emission surveillance and environmental monitoring. A further advantage of remote sensors is that the gas distribution is not disturbed by the sensing platform itself if the measurements are carried out from a sufficient distance, which is particularly interesting when a rotary-wing platform is used. Since there is no possibility to obtain ground truth measurements of gas distributions, simulations are used to develop and evaluate suitable olfaction algorithms. For this purpose several models of in-situ gas sensors have been developed, but models of remote gas sensors are missing. In this paper we present two novel 3D ray-tracer-based TDLAS sensor models. While the first model simplifies the laser beam as a line, the second model takes the conical shape of the beam into account. Using a simulated gas plume, we compare the line model with the cone model in terms of accuracy and computational cost and show that the results generated by the cone model can differ significantly from those of the line model.
In this paper, we introduce a nano aerial robot swarm for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring applications such as occupational health and safety of (industrial) workplaces. The robotic swarm is composed of nano Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), based on the Crazyflie 2.0 quadrocopter, and small lightweight Metal Oxide (MOX) gas sensors for measuring the Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC), which is a measure for IAQ. An indoor localization and positioning system is used to estimate the absolute 3D position of the swarm similar to GPS. A test scenario was built up to validate and optimize the swarm for the intended applications. Besides calibration of the IAQ sensors, we performed experiments to investigate the influence of the rotor downwash on the gas measurements at different altitudes and compared them with stationary measurements. Moreover, we did a first evaluation of the gas distribution mapping performance. Based on this novel IAQ monitoring concept, new algorithms in the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO) are planned to be developed exploiting the abilities of an aerial robotic swarm.
The safety evaluation of cask components made of ductile cast iron includes investigations to prevent brittle fracture. Generally, ductile cast iron is endangered by brittle fracture especially at low temperatures (down to -40°C) and in combination with existing crack-like material defects. An applicable method is the assessment of fracture resistance using fracture mechanics according to the IAEA guidelines. The approach is based on the prevention of fracture initiation. For application of these principles for drop loads, account must be taken both of dynamic stresses within the component and dynamic material behavior. Basically, the dynamic stress intensity factor of postulated pre-existing crack-like defects is compared with the dynamic fracture toughness of the material. Applicable numerical and experimental methods for the safety assessment of cask components are demonstrated for the case of an artificially pre-cracked cylindrical cast iron cask which undergoes dynamic loading conditions as result of the hard impact between the cask and a concrete target. The proposed evaluation procedure is a combination of numerical and experimental steps. Exemplarily, the calculated stress intensity factor is compared with measured fracture toughness values from single edge notched bending specimens.
Lamb waves are widely used for non-destructive evaluation of material parameters as well as for detection of defects. Another application of Lamb waves is quality control of adhesive joints.
Researchers are currently investigating shear horizontal and zero-group velocity modes for characterisation of the adhesive bonding strength. In a new approach, Lamb wave mode repulsion is used to obtain the coupling strength between different layers to characterise the adhesive bonding strength. The modes of the individual layers become coupled in the multilayered systems forming particular regions, the so-called mode repulsion regions. This study investigates these modes and their interaction in two-layered plate-like structures with varying coupling strength both numerically, with the Scaled Boundary FEM, and experimentally
The evaluation of cladding integrity is a major issue to be demonstrated in Germany for extended interim storage periods up to 100 years and subsequent transportation considering operational and accidental conditions with respect to reactor operation, cask drying and dry interim storage. The chemical reaction between the zirconium fuel cladding and the cooling water in water-cooled reactors produces hydrogen and zirconium oxide. Hydrogen diffuses into the cladding and precipitates as zirconium hydrides when the solubility limit is reached, preferably oriented in hoop direction. At high temperatures during vacuum drying procedures, the hydrides can dissolve. Over a succeeding period of slow cooling with existing hoop stress the hydrides precipitate again, but partly reoriented along the radial direction of the cladding. This change of microstructure in combination with a decreasing temperature (0.5...2 K/year) during (extended) interim storage and additional mechanical load by handling procedures or under accident conditions could lead to a potential cladding embrittlement and consequently increased failure probability. The current research project BRUZL (Fracture mechanical analysis of spent fuel claddings under long-term dry interim storage conditions) has been launched by BAM to investigate potential sudden brittle failure of spent fuel claddings at small deformation under long-term dry interim storage conditions and is presented.
An essential task in many industries, e.g. food, petrol or chemical industry, is the precise and accurate characterization of liquids. Therefore, the development of innovative in-line sensors is of great interest. New concepts based on periodic structures, so-called phononic crystals (PnCs), are an interesting idea for the design of innovative sensors.
A PnC-based sensor can be designed by introducing a resonance inside a bandgap, a frequency region where no wave propagation is allowed. High-Q measurement systems using PnCs are already reported in the literature. However, existing designs cannot be implemented into a piping system directly, but need special fittings, openings or by-passes to be in contact with the liquid.
To circumvent this issue, we develop a new sensor based on PnCs, which can be directly implemented as part of the piping system. For this purpose, we use a PnC consisting of hollow cylinders with a periodic change of the outer diameter.
A bandgap could be found for the described geometry without fluid in simulation and measurement. However, simulations show, that a bandgap for fluid-filled cylinders can only be obtained for quasi-longitudinal modes. Hence, we propose a mode selective excitation for the sensor.
In this contribution, a dynamic test method to determine the seasonal performance of invertertype air conditioners has been developed and verified. In comparison to current test standards, where test modes for fixing the compressor speed are required, a dynamic approach is applied with unfixed compressor speed and thus better reflects the performance of air conditioners under real operating conditions. The dynamic tests are conducted in two calorimeter chambers. The indoor chamber is kept at a constant temperature whereas the outdoor chamber is subjected to a temperature profile based on the climate BIN-distribution, representing the reference cooling demand. The proposed dynamic test considers the dynamic control of an air conditioner and delivers results which could indicate the units' performance in the field.
Packages for the transport of radioactive material shall withstand severe accidents. Therefore, the IAEA Regulations define different test scenarios to cover severe hypothetical accident conditions. One of these tests defined in detail is the thermal test, mainly consisting of a 30 minute fully engulfing 800 °C pool fire or an equally severe fire test. The heat fluxes into the package are of significant importance and depend substantially on the fire characteristics and the surface temperature of the package.
In order to investigate the heat fluxes over a wide range of surface temperatures during a propane gas fire test and to get information about local fire impact a fire reference package, representing the outer geometry of a specific type of transport cask for radioactive waste, was designed. A closed steel sheet cylinder with a wall thickness of 10 mm was chosen as fire reference package. The cylinder was filled with refractory insulation material and instrumented with thermocouples distributed all over the cylinder. The local steel sheet temperatures measured allow the determination of local as well as global heat fluxes as a function of time and surface temperature.
With this fire reference package three open-air propane gas fire tests were performed at BAM’s open air fire test stand. The flame exposure time period was changed for the different fire tests. Furthermore, the wind conditions changed between and during the tests. Test stand parameters like wind shield location and propane gas volume flow were chosen constant for the three tests. The test results were used to determine the changes of heat flux into the fire reference package in relation to the package surface temperature. This data also allows the calculation of local characteristics of the propane gas fire as there are the flame temperature, the fire convection coefficient and the radiation exchange coefficient in a first approach. The recently conducted tests provide an initial picture of local fire characteristics of the propane gas fire test facility. The test shows that the propane gas fire covers the IAEA-fire over a wide range of surface temperatures with the chosen test stand parameters.
This work aims to find the thermal cycles during and after fusion welding through simulation by first calculating the resulting local temperature field in the quasi-stationary part of the process. Here complete-penetration keyhole laser beam welding with a laser power of 18 kW on a 15 mm thick slab of a low-alloyed steel at a welding speed of 2 m/min is considered. In order to physically depict the laser material interaction a multi-physics numerical model including the effects of phase transformation, thermo-capillary convection, natural convection and temperature-dependent material properties up to evaporation temperature is developed. It uses a fixed keyhole geometry with a right truncated circular cone shape to introduce the laser beam energy to the workpiece. In a subsequent study, the resulting local temperature field is then used as an equivalent heat source in order to predict the unsteady thermal cycle during and after fusion welding. The translational movement of the laser beam through the workpiece is represented by a moving mesh approach. For the simulation, stationary heat transfer and fluid dynamics are described by a system of strongly coupled partial differential equations. These are solved with the commercial finite element software COMSOL Multiphysics 5.0. The results of the numerical simulation are validated by experiments, where the weld bead shapes and the thermal cycles show good correlation.
Die Laserimplantation erlaubt die Herstellung verschleißbeständiger, erhabener Mikrostrukturen (Implants) auf Stahloberflächen durch ein diskontinuierliches Dispergieren von keramischen Partikeln mittels gepulster Laserstrahlung. Durch die flexible Anordnung separierter Implants zu komplexen Mustern erlaubt das Verfahren eine gezielte Oberflächenstrukturierung zur Beeinflussung des Reibungs- und Verschleißverhaltens. Insbesondere erwies sich Titandiborid (TiB2) als Implantationsmaterial für geeig-net, da eine Manipulation der Implantgeometrie in einem breiten Bereich vorgenommen werden konnte, ohne dass Materialdefekte wie Risse oder Poren auftraten.
Ziel der Untersuchungen war es, den Einfluss implantierter TiB2-Partikel auf die Materialeigenschaften von X153CrMoV12 zu ermitteln. Hierfür wurden im Rahmen der Arbeit die Laserparameter (Pulsleistung und -dauer) in einem breiten Parameterfeld variiert und vergleichende Untersuchungen an TiB2 implan-tierten Zonen sowie an punktuell umschmelzstrukturierten Zonen durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass eine reine Umschmelzstrukturierung zu einer deutlichen Reduktion der Oberflächenhärte aufgrund erhöhter Restaustenitgehalte (γR) führt. Im Gegensatz dazu führt das Laserimplantieren von TiB2-Partikeln zu einer deutlichen Härtesteigerung in den kuppel- oder ringförmigen Implants. Härtewerte von bis zu 1800 HV1 resultieren aus dispergierten TiB2-Primärpartikeln sowie in-situ ausgeschiedenen Se-kundärphasen, durch die der Restaustenitanteil zudem deutlich reduziert wird.

In this study, the influence of the welding speed and the arc power on the solidification crack formation for partial penetration laser hybrid welded Thick-Walled plates were investigated. Experimentally, a linear correlation between the welding velocity and the crack number was observed. That is by reducing the welding velocity the crack number was reduced.
The reduced welding velocity showed a strong impact on stress, as the model demonstrated a very lower stress amount in comparison to the reference case. The reduction of the welding speed could be a helpful technique to reduce the hot cracking. The wire feed speed showed a very slight influence on the crack formation. That can be returned to the large distance between the critical region for cracking and the arc region.
Plasma-Transferred-Arc (PTA) welding is a process that enables high deposition rates, but also causes increased thermal load on the component. Laser based Direct Energy Deposition (DED) welding, on the other hand, achieves a high level of precision and thus comparatively low deposition rates, which can lead to high processing costs. Combining laser and arc energy aims to exploit the respective advantages of both technologies.
In this study, different possibilities of this process combination are presented using a PTA system and a 2 kW disk laser. This includes the combination in a common process zone as a highspeed plasma laser cladding technology (HPLC), which achieves process speeds of 10 m/min. Besides that it is being examined whether a pre-running plasma arc can be used to coat difficult-to-weld rail steel with a carbon content of 0.8 % due to a preheating effect. Furthermore, a smoothing of the coating by a plasma arc following the laser is investigated.
Supermartensitic stainless steels (SMSS) are a commonly used material nowadays for building offshore structures, i.e. pipelines in the oil and gas industry. The harsh and corrosive environments in oil and gas applications require the correct combination of alloys to attain the desired properties of steel, including high strength and good corrosion properties, even in severe sour service conditions. Welding is the most commonly used method in joining offshore components, depending on requirements requiring strength or fitting. It has been shown that the heat affected zone (HAZ) is more susceptible to certain types of corrosion, including pitting corrosion, especially during severe sour service where a high pH and lower H2S values in the flow medium can lead to pitting corrosion in the HAZ of welded structures. Subsequent hydrogen uptake in the pits can cause cracks to initiate and propagate, leading to rupture of pipelines or catastrophic failures of structures, even at low mechanical loads. Offshore standards allow a certain amount of corrosion, including pitting, to be present before action is required, however the extent of pitting corrosion is not identified by performing visual inspection alone as the subsurface pit diameter may be vastly greater than the pit diameter at the surface. The critical conditions which lead to crack initiation and propagation from a pit with hydrogen uptake are currently not known. Therefore, pitting corrosion and subsequent crack initiation are a danger to the safety of structures. The interest in this phenomenon has resulted in many experimental studies and numerical simulations.
Several numerical models of pitting corrosion and hydrogen uptake resulting in crack initiation are already in existence, but these two phenomena are regularly modelled individually. Thus, a model enabling simulation of both phenomena simultaneously would be of great benefit. Hence, the goal of this study is to develop a model enabling simulation of pit growth and crack initiation, considering hydrogen uptake in the pit from a corrosive environment.
As a first step, this paper presents an investigation into various parameters, which influence crack initiation at pits. These crack critical parameters include: pit geometry, pit location, mechanical load and hydrogen transport into the microstructure. The results will help to identify critical conditions for crack initiation starting at the pit and developing measures to avoid hydrogen assisted cracking (HAC).
The shape of the parts, created by the technology of direct laser metal deposition (DLMD), is influenced by various parameters, for example, the power and diameter of the laser source spot. The contribution of energy from the laser affects the temperature distribution in the formed layers. The changing temperature in the working area entails a Change in the geometry of the layers and affects the stability of the process. In this paper, experiments on the measurement of temperature cycles in the DLMD process with different directions of the filling track are carried out. An infrared camera was used to measure thermal cycles. The calibration of the acquired data (i.e. correspondence table between the intensity of thermal radiation of the material and the absolute temperature) was done with help of two-color pyrometer ex situ and in situ measurements. The experiments are carried out on two materials 316L and Inconel 718. The effect of the maximum temperature on the layer height is shown, and thermal cycles in the formation of layers for different filling strategies are presented.
This presentation gives an introduction to the gas-sensitive aerial robots developed at BAM, including various application examples in the field of mobile robot olfaction: gas source localization and gas distribution mapping.
The propagation of ultrasonic waves in concrete is affected by its micro- and macro-structure, geometry and properties as well as external influences as stress, temperature or moisture. In addition, age and degradation have a strong influence. Therefore, Ultrasound has been used to monitor concrete samples and structures since decades. However, early applications using conventional techniques as time-of flight or changes in amplitudes have been limited to detect changes in a late stage close to serviceability or ultimate load states.
Around 2000, several new, more sensitive techniques adopted from geophysics or other field of material sciences have been introduced to research in ultrasonic monitoring of concrete. The most discussed methodologies are coda wave interferometry, a technique which allows to detect very subtle changes from repeated ultrasonic measurements. Nonlinear acoustic techniques help to identify e. g. cracks even in an inhomogeneous background. Both techniques can be combined.
This paper reviews methods and results achieved so far on the laboratory scale and with full scale models the directions for future research and application is given as well.
German package design approvals were granted recently for dual purpose casks (DPC) intended for loading with encapsulated damaged spent nuclear fuel (DSNF). Comprehensive assessment procedures were carried out by the authority BAM with respect to the mechanical and thermal package design, the activity release of radioactive material and quality assurance aspects for manufacturing and operation of each packaging. The objective of each procedure was to verify the Package Design Safety Report (PDSR) and the relevant guidelines fulfils the requirements of the IAEA regulations.
Previous approvals of German SNF package designs consider mainly standard fuel assemblies with defined specifications and properties for transport and interim storage. Due to the nuclear power phase-out in Germany all kinds of SNF, e.g. damaged spent fuel rods shall be packed in DPC now. Therefore specific requirements shall be considered in accordance with international experiences including IAEA technical reports. The main requirement for DSNF is a tight encapsulation with specific defined properties under transport and storage conditions.
Due to the interim storage period of currently up to 40 years the encapsulation with DSNF in the casks shall also be long term durable. Thus specific loading and drying procedures are necessary and had to be qualified during the approval process. BAM assessed these drying procedures and could confirm the long-term behaviour of the encapsulation and the suitability of the drying equipment. This special equipment was qualified in a “cold handling”. In addition, it was shown that the behaviour of the test equipment used in the qualification process was comparable with the original equipment, e.g. test fuel rods or test encapsulation. In the development of the drying process, experience was obtained in how to put the requirements of the IAEA regulations and related IAEA technical reports into practice.
The paper gives an overview of approval assessment and testing experience made by BAM and point out the main resulting requirements on drying processes for these kinds of encapsulations with DSNF.
Im Rahmen des BMBF geförderten Verbundprojekts „TEBRAS – Konzepte und Techniken zur Branderkennung, Bekämpfung und Selbstrettung in der frühesten Brandphase“ arbeiten sechs Partner aus der Wissenschaft und der Industrie gemeinsam an Lösungen zur schnelleren Branddetektion und Bekämpfung. Ausgehend von Brandschadenstatistiken werden zunächst häufige Brandentstehungsszenarien, Brandursachen und die beteiligten Objekte und Materialien identifiziert. Auf dieser Basis wird ein Testszenario entwickelt, das es erlaubt, einen repräsentativen Entstehungsbrand unter definierten Testbedingungen zu untersuchen. Typische Brandkenngrößen werden anhand der ausgewählten Referenzszenarios des Schwelbrands einer Mischbrandkrippe vorgestellt. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den freigesetzten Brandgasen.
Crisis management, particularly the evacuation of handicapped People during a fire scenario presents a highly demanding challenge for nursing staff and rescue forces on site. The German research Project SiME is an interdisciplinary cooperation of university and non-university research institutions as well as medium-sized companies, which work together to develop strategies to manage such critical scenarios. In the SiME project, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, evacuation characteristics of pedestrians with physical, mental or age-related disabilities are investigated to fit consisting numerical evacuation models with data. One of the major tasks of the OvGU was to set up a database of scenarios related to fire, explosion or substance releases in the working and living environment of handicapped people. Therefore, more than 463 fire Events occurring over the last decade in Germany were documented in this database and categorized by a suitable assignment of characteristics e.g. location of fire, ignition source, number of fatalities and injured.
The evaluated data were the basis for carrying out a quantitative risk analysis. Thus event trees were set up for different integrative infrastructures with which occurrence probabilities for different scenarios could be calculated for each path. The extent of damage, as a quantity describing the impact, was assumed to be personal injury or death or serious injury. By a risk assessment critical Scenarios could be derived from the risk analysis.
Emergency exits as bottlenecks in escape routes are important for designing traffic facilities. Especially the fundamental diagram is a crucial performance criterion for assessment of pedestrians' safety in facilities and an important basis for calculation methods. For this reason, several studies were performed during the last decades which focus on the quantification of movement through bottlenecks. These studies were usually conducted with populations of homogeneous characteristics to reduce influencing variables and for reasons of practicability.
Studies which consider heterogeneous characteristics in performance parameters are rarely available. In response and to reduce this lack of data a series of well-controlled large-scale movement studies considering pedestrians with different disabilities was carried out.
Several attempts have been made in the past to develop a European harmonized testing and assessment method for façades before the European commission decided to publish a call for tender on the topic. A project consortium from five countries (Sweden, UK, France, Germany and Hungary) applied to the call for tender and was contracted to develop a European approach to assess the fire performance of façades. 24 sub-contractors and 14 stakeholder entities were part of the project.
The objective of the European project was to address a request from the Standing Committee of Construction (SCC) to provide EC Member States regulators with a means to regulate the fire performance of façade systems based on a European approach agreed by SCC. In addressing this objective, the project team was asked to consider a number of issues which are presented and discussed.
Recent facade fires worldwide have driven change in regulations for façade fire safety in different parts of the world. The Grenfell Tower fire 2017 in London triggered a thorough investigation of many aspects of the fire. One investigation was about the UK building regulations from Dame Judith Hackett 1,2. This investigation compares the UK with the situation other parts of the world.
Angesichts stetig steigender Rohstoffnachfrage und sich verknappenden Ressourcen rücken Sekundärrohstoffe zur Deckung des Bedarfes immer stärker in den Fokus.
Besonders Hausmüllverbrennungsaschen (HMVA) verfügen über hohe Anteile an Metallen wie Aluminium, Kupfer, oder Eisen, aber auch Spuren von Silber und Gold.
Aus diesem Grund wurde bereits in einer Vielzahl von Arbeiten und Projekte die Behandlung von Rostaschen diskutiert. Hauptaugenmerk der Betrachtungen ist die Rückgewinnung von Wertstoffen, insbesondere der Metallfraktion, sowie die Aufbereitung der Rostasche als Ersatzbaustoff. Die bisherigen Betrachtungen konzentrierten sich auf die Fraktionen der Partikel größer 2 mm. Die Feinfraktion kleiner 2 mm wurde bislang meist deponiert. Da die Feinfraktion etwa 25 M% der
HMVA ausmacht, wurde für weitere Untersuchungen zum Zweck einer besseren Verwertung das Projekt „BASH-TREAT“ im Programm ERA-MIN 2 initiiert.
Aktuell werden in Deutschland in rund 100 thermischen Abfallbehandlungsanlagen (davon 66 Hausmüllverbrennungsanlagen) rund 20 Millionen Tonnen brennbare Abfälle verbrannt. Mit rund 5 Millionen Tonnen pro Jahr bildet die Rostasche die mengenmäßig größte Rückstandsfraktion. Nach einer Lagerung von einigen Wochen erfüllt die Rostasche im Regelfall die Anforderungen für die Deponieklasse 1.
Allerdings wird der Großteil der Rostasche nicht deponiert, sondern aufbereitet und verwertet. Zur Aufbereitung kommen verschieden Verfahren zum Einsatz. Für die Abtrennung der Eisen- und NE-Metalle werden magnetische Verfahren und die Wirbelstromtechnik eingesetzt. Für die mineralischen Fraktion gibt es eine Vielzahl von Sortier- und Klassierungsverfahren, Waschverfahren und weitergehende thermische Verfahren.
Non-destructive testing for surface crack detection and head check depth quantification at the gauge corner of railway tracks can be achieved using eddy current methods. With the extension of the tested zone to the running surface, rail defect signal types other than head checks can be measured. Due to their mostly irregular shape, a quantitation based on a calibration against regular test cracks of varying depth may not be linear. Estimates of the expected influence of more complex crack patterns may be obtained by a finite element simulation of sufficiently simple limiting cases, like two displaced or intersecting cracks or a simply branched or flexed crack. As a first step, a 3D finite element model of the HC10 eddy current probe distributed by Prüftechnik Linke und Rühe (PLR), Germany was built and verified against measured results from an (easily fabricated) reference block with isolated long cracks.
The aim of an ongoing research project is to develop a design approach for typical offshore driven piles (e.g. Jacket piles) based on the application of injections by compaction grouting directly at the pile shaft. The paper aims to present the results of laboratory and in-situ tests, which reveal the efficiency and the promising potential of the optimised foundation concept for a more economic dimensioning of pile foundations and to increase their bearing capacity in non-cohesive soil at any moment after installation.
Additiv gefertigte Prüfkörper aus Polyamid 12 (Laser Sinter Verfahren) und Acrylnitril-Butadien-Styrol (Fused Layer Modeling Verfahren) wurden über 2000 Stunden künstlich bewittert und ihr Alterungsverhalten untersucht. Die Ergebnisse wurden anschließend mit denen von Prüfkörpern verglichen, welche auf dieselbe Weise künstlich bewittert, aber mittels konventionellem KunststoffSpritzguss hergestellt wurden.
Measured train passages and hammer impacts in combination with track-soil calculation have been successfully used for the detection of damaged slab tracks. This approach is now extended to intact slab and ballast tracks. The vibrations of many tracks have been measured at several levels from rail, sleeper, track plate, base plate, base layer to the subsoil by velocity or acceleration sensors. The time histories have to be integrated once or twice to get the displacements. The displacement signals include an arbitrary time-dependent shift which must be eliminated or respected in the interpretation. On the other hand, the calculation of slab and ballast tracks have been done in frequency-wavenumber domain. The displacements along the track and the frequency-dependent compliance transfer functions can be calculated. The latter can be compared with the results of the hammer impacts on the track. The deformation of the track can be transformed to time histories for a whole train and compared to the measured train passages. Many slab (and ballast) tracks have been measured at different sites. The displacements of the tracks are presented, and the following parameters have been analysed in the measurement results: slab track vs. ballast track, different types of slab tracks, damaged slab tracks, different trains, switches at different measuring points, an elastic layer, the mortar layer, different soils at different places. The soil should have the dominant influence on the track-plate displacements. Slab and ballast track yield also big differences in maximum displacement and width of deformation. Some of the preceding aspects will be analysed in comparison of measurement and theory.
Quantification of the posterior utilities of SHM campaigns on an orthotropic steel bridge deck
(2019)
This paper contains a quantification and decision theoretical optimization of the posterior utilities for several options for monitoring campaigns on the particular case of fatigue life predictions of an orthotropic steel deck. The monitoring campaigns are defined by varying monitoring durations and phases. The decision analysis is performed with real data from the Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of the Great Belt Bridge (Denmark) which, among others, consist of measured strains, pavement temperatures and traffic intensities. The fatigue loading prediction model is based on regression models linking daily averaged pavement temperatures, daily aggregated heavy-traffic Counts and derived S-N fatigue damages, all of them derived from the outcomes of different monitoring campaigns. A probabilistic methodology is utilized to calculate the fatigue reliability profiles of selected instrumented welded joints. The posterior utilities of SHM campaigns are then quantified by considering the structural fatigue reliability, various monitoring campaigns and the corresponding cost-benefit models. The decisions of identifying the optimal monitoring campaign and of extending the service life or not in conjunction with monitoring results are modelled. The optimal monitoring campaign is identified - retrospectively - by maximizing the expected benefits and minimize risks in dependency of the monitoring duration and the monitoring associated costs. The results, despite relying on a number of simplistic assumptions, pave the way towards the use of pre-posterior decision support to optimise the design of monitoring campaigns for similar bridges, with an overall goal to proof the cost efficiency of SHM approaches to civil infrastructure management.
The shaft bearing capacity often plays a dominant role for the overall structural behaviour of axially loaded piles in offshore deep foundations. Under cyclic loading, a narrow zone of soil at the pile-soil interface is subject to cyclic shearing solicitations. Thereby, the soil may densify and lead to a decrease of confining stress around the pile due to microphenomena such as particle crushing, migration and rearrangement. This reduction of radial stress has a direct impact on the shaft capacity, potentially leading in extreme cases to pile failure. An adequate interface model is needed in order to model this behaviour numerically. Different authors have proposed models that take typical Interface phenomena in account such as densification, grain breakage, normal pressure effect and roughness. However, as the models become more complex, a great number of material parameters need to be defined and calibrated. This paper proposes the adoption and transformation of an existing soil bulk model (Pastor- Zienkiewicz) into an interface model. To calibrate the new interface model, the results of an experimental campaign with the ring shear device under cyclic loading conditions are here presented. The constitutive model shows a good capability to reproduce typical features of sand behaviour such as cyclic compaction and dilatancy, which in saturated partially-drained conditions may lead to liquefaction and cyclic mobility phenomena.
Abstract. Three measurement campaigns of train-induced ground vibrations are evaluated for the vehicle-track-soil interaction. Ground vibrations, track vibrations and vehicle vibrations have been measured for train passages and impulse excitation and compared with theoretical results.
The soil and the track-soil system are calculated by wavenumber integrals. The influence of the vehicle is introduced by a substructure method. By comparing theory and measurement the different components of excitation force and ground vibration can be analysed, the quasi-static excitation, track-alignment errors, the out-of-roundness of wheels, the wheel and rail roughness, and moreover, scattered axle impulses and ineffective high-frequency parts of the wheelset accelerations and forces.
Additive manufacturing is no longer just used for the production of prototypes but already found its way into the industrial production. However, the fabrication of massive metallic parts with high geometrical complexity is still too time-consuming to be economically viable. The combination of the powder bed-based selective laser melting process (SLM), known for its geometrical freedom and accuracy, and the nozzle-based laser metal deposition process (LMD), known for its high build-up rates, has great potential to reduce the process duration. For the industrial application of the SLM-LMD hybrid process chain it is necessary to investigate the interaction of the processes and its effect on the material properties to guarantee part quality and prevent component failure. Therefore, hybrid components are manufactured and examined before and after the heat treatment regarding the microstructure and the hardness in the SLM-LMD transition zone. The experiments are conducted using the nickel-based alloy Inconel 718.
An existing pyrometallurgical process for tantalum and niobium recovery, mainly from low grade pyrometallurgical residues, was investigated. Series of melting experiments were carried out in a pilot-scale electric arc furnace to study how the amount, the grain size and the way of feeding affect the activity of carbon as a reducing agent. During the pyrometallurgical treatment refractory metals such as tantalum and niobium are reduced to their carbide form and enriched in the molten iron-based metal phase. The cooled down slag and metal phase were analysed to investigate thermodynamic and kinetic conditions of the carbide formation. FACT Sage simulations were also used to investigate the material system in state of thermodynamic equilibrium. Results show that mass transfer and kinetics may play an important role if compared to equilibrium analyses using FACT Sage.
Blast furnace (BF) sludge and electric arc furnace (EAF) dust are typical wastes that incur from iron and steel production. In addition to iron, calcium, carbon, and silicon they usually contain high concentrations of heavy metals such as zinc, lead, and cadmium that are potentially hazardous to the environment, rendering disposal in landfills ecologically problematic and costly. Consequently, pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and hybrid methods for selective elimination of non-ferrous heavy metals from BF sludge and EAF dust have been conceived, of which only the carbothermic reduction route taken in the so-called Waelz rotary kiln process has been proven to be economically successful. However, this process has several drawbacks regarding efficiency of heavy-metal removal and recovery of iron, and it does not allow processing of BF sludge. In this study, we investigated the efficiency and feasibility of selective chlorination and evaporation of non-ferrous heavy metals, particularly zinc and lead, in both BF sludge and EAF dust as an alternative, thermochemical processing route. To this end, hydrochloric acid and iron(II) chloride solution have been used as chlorinating agents, and the process of heavy-metal chlorination and evaporation has been investigated under inert operating conditions, at variable chlorine concentrations, and at temperatures between 500 and 1200 °C.
High zinc and lead removal efficiencies of > 99.5 % were achieved with both chlorinating agents, but iron(II) chloride turned out to be overall more efficient for removal of zinc and lead from BF sludge and EAF dust. Interestingly, and in contrast to previous studies, the iron was completely retained in the processed solid residue, therefore rendering the processed residues virtually zinc- and lead-free raw materials that may either be used internally (e.g., feeding processed BF sludge and EAF dust back into the respective furnaces) or externally (e.g., for cement production).
Since the recycling of tantalum bearing post-consumer waste is practically not existent, metallurgical residues are the most important feed for the tantalum recycling. Most tin ores naturally contain significant quantities of refractory metals. During the smelting process in primary tin production these elements are enriched in the slag phase. This slag is a highly valuable raw material for tantalum production due to its considerable concentration of tantalum and its functioning as an additional slag former in further pyrometallurgical treatment.
In this paper the first process stage of an existing pyrometallurgical process for tantalum recovery, mainly from low grade pyrometallurgical residues, is discussed. Smelting trials were carried out in a pilot-scale electric arc furnace to analyse the effect of feeding on the activity of carbon as a reducing agent. Therefore, blowing petroleum coke through an iron lance and the manual adding of coke into the melting bath were tested. During the pyrometallurgical treatment elements with a high affinity to carbon were reduced to their carbide form and enriched in the molten iron-based metal phase. The objective of the process was to reduce the oxidic tantalum completely and to enrich it into the metal phase. Furthermore, the transfer of unwanted elements such as titanium into the metal phase was aimed to be avoided.
Spoon test specimens were taken from the liquid mineral melt to follow the evolution of the reduction process. The cooled down solidified melting bath was investigated by using the XRD and EDX method to characterise the slag system and to identify relevant mineral phases.
The long-term sealing behavior of metal seals, assembled in the lid system of casks for transportation and storage of radioactive materials, has been investigated. For that purpose, phenomenological models describing the time- and temperature dependent behavior have been introduced by BAM since 2016, e.g. by using the time-temperature superposition principle. Results have shown that these models describe the relaxation behavior adequately and are suitable for extrapolations. In this work, the applicability of these models is checked by analyzing the necessary scope of tests, which must be carried out to get sufficient information about the long-term behavior of metal seals based on short-term tests.
Auf der Grundlage der in DIN EN 61757-2-2:2017 beschriebenen Standardisierungsmethoden wurden in dieser Arbeit wichtige Leistungsparameter von vier kommerziellen Messsystemen zur ortsaufgelösten faseroptischen Erfassung der temperatur- und dehnungsabhängigen Brillouin-Frequenzverschiebung untersucht. Gemäß der oben genannten Norm konzentrierte sich hier die Ermittlungsprüfung auf messtechnische Aspekte reiner Temperaturmessungen. Dabei diente die Ermittlung von einem festgelegten Satz dreier Betriebsverhaltenskenngrößen in Form von quantitativen Angaben des Messfehlers, der Wiederholgenauigkeit sowie der räumlichen Unsicherheit einem Vergleich der getesteten Messsysteme.
Alle faseroptischen Messungen wurden mit einer Faserschleife ausgeführt, d. h. als Sensorkonfiguration der Messfaser wurde eine Schleifenanordnung gewählt. Die Messverfahren der getesteten Messysteme basierten somit auf der Brillouin-optischen Zeit- bzw. Frequenzbereichsanalyse. Die Betriebsverhaltenskenngrößen wurden ferner bei unterschiedlichen Werten zweier messtechnischer Parameter, des Frequenzschrittes und der Mittelungsrate, für Standardeinstellungen der Laserleistungswerte der in die Sensorfaser einzukoppelnden Laserlichtsignale ermittelt. Auf diesem Weg lassen sich relevante Aussagen zur Optimierung der Messgenauigkeiten in Bezug auf Messdauer treffen.
Resource efficiency is a much discussed topic in terms of improving the sustainability of energy related and energy non-related products. Resource efficiency aspects such as the availability of spare parts, the ability to dismantle, etc. have been included in draft working documents in the revision of several already existing Ecodesign regulations as a first step. However, often these aspects are not consistent with the current technology and design of these products. A possible reason could be a lack of sufficient consultation or of a methodology which is sufficiently tailored for this topic. The established strategies and tools, used by policymakers, such as the Methodology for the Ecodesign of Energy-related Products (MEErP), do not seem to deal with these aspects appropriately. Draft requirements need to be very well developed before being discussed with member states and other related stakeholders, because including resource efficiency parameters could lead to additional, very wide-ranging effects on society. This topic cannot be covered well with legislative tools developed primarily for energy aspects. In this paper, a method is presented which can be used to combine products’ properties with crucial resource efficiency indicators. The method can be used to develop a set of draft legislative requirements and to pre-evaluate these requirements by target groups which would be affected by additional legal requirements. These include: market surveillance authorities, standardization organizations, manufacturers and their associations, environmental organizations and research facilities. The method incorporates stakeholders’ feedback to identify potential resource efficiency measures for materials and/or products, their impact on the European ecology, economy and society. Based on this it would help to develop legislative requirements which are feasible and desirable. The results can then be fed into the formal legislative process, probably speeding it up.
Over the last years, the weight of modern car bodies has risen significantly due to the increasing customers’ demand for comfort and safety equipment. However, this ongoing trend leads to an increasing fuel consumption and thus to higher carbon dioxide emissions. In order to counteract these problems, hot stamping has been established in the automotive industry as a key technolo-gy for lightweight construction, regarding the manufacturing of safety-relevant car body compo-nents. Hot stamped parts are commonly made out of boron-manganese steel 22MnB5, which is initially austenized and subsequently formed and quenched in one process step. As a result, geo-metrical complex structures with an ultimate tensile strength of 1500 MPa are generated. The surfaces of the workpieces are coated with an Al-Si layer to avoid oxide scale formation and to ensure corrosion protection. However, the coating system leads to an increased adhesive wear on the tool surface due to the high thermo-mechanical tool stresses. Therefore, a time and cost con-suming rework of the hot stamping tools is required. The aim of this study is to increase the tribological performance of hot stamping tools by using a laser implantation process. This tech-nique allows the ma-nufacturing of separated, elevated and dome-shaped microstructures on the tool surface in consequence of a localized dispersing of hard ceramic particles by pulsed laser radiation. The generated surface features offer great potential for reducing the tribological load, due to their high hardness and wear resistance. For this purpose, the friction coefficient of un-modified and laser implanted tool surfaces were examined and compared by using a modified pin-on-disk test. In addition, the surfaces were analyzed by optical measurements in order to quantify the amount of wear.
To determine the seasonal performance of heat pumps for energy labelling this study proposes a two-point-method that could conceivably be an alternative to the European standard EN 14825 and similar test standards such as ISO 13256. Heat pumps were tested in line with the EN 14825. The reduction of measurement points, from between five to seven (EN 14825) to only two (two-point-method), leads to 60 % savings in cost and time. It is shown that the shortened method can be used to determine the seasonal energy efficiency of heat pumps with the same degree of precision compared to EN 14825.
In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt wie mit Thermogravimetrischen Analysen (TGA) Aktivkohleoberflächen charakterisiert werden können.

The development of hydrogen technologies is a key strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emission worldwide. Power-to-Gas is a challenging solution, in which hydrogen and methane can be used in mobility, industry, heat supply and electricity generation applications. This presentation deals with the tribological behaviour of polymer materials in hydrogen and methane, both in gas and in liquefied form.
The subject of damage localization is an important issue for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) particularly in mechanical or civil structures under ambient excitation. In this paper, the statistical subspacebased damage localization method has been applied on a benchmark application, namely a 1/200 scale model of the Saint-Nazaire Bridge, which is a cable-stayed bridge located on the Loire River near the river’s mouth. The employed damage localization method combines data-driven features with physical parameter information from a finite element model in statistical tests, avoiding typical ill-conditioning problems of FE model updating. Damage is introduced in the mockup for cable failures on some of the 72 cables. The purpose of the experiment is to assess the capability of damage assessment methods to find a cable failure.
The Stochastic Dynamic Damage Locating Vector (SDDLV) approach is a vibration-based damage localization method based on both a finite element model of a structure and modal parameters estimated from output-only measurements in the damage and reference states. A statistical version of the Approach takes into account the inherent uncertainty due to noisy measurement data. In this paper, the effect of temperature fluctuations on the performance of the method is analyzed in a model-based approach using a finite element model with temperature dependent parameters. Robust damage localization is carried out by rejecting the temperature influence on the identified modal parameters in the damaged state. The algorithm is illustrated on a simulated structure.
Temperature variation can be a nuisance that perturbs vibration based structural health monitoring (SHM) approaches for civil engineering structures. In this paper, temperature affected vibration data is evaluated within a stochastic damage detection framework, which relies on a null space based residual. Besides two existing temperature rejection approaches – building a reference state from an averaging method or a piecewise method – a new approach is proposed, using model interpolation. In this approach, a general reference model is obtained from data in the reference state at several known reference temperatures. Then, for a particular tested temperature, a local reference model is derived from the general reference model. Thus, a well fitting reference null space for the formulation of a residual is available when new data is tested for damage detection at an arbitrary temperature. Particular attention is paid to the computation of the residual covariance, taking into account the uncertainty related to the null space matrix estimate. This improves the test performance, contrary to prior methods, for local and global damages, resulting in a higher probability of detection (PoD) for the new interpolation approach compared to previous approaches.
Depending on the specific plastic’s ageing sensitivities, the durations which plastic components remain in the environment can be very long. As, in the past, the advantages in ageing resistance and durability were highly evaluated, we now face the problem of quite stable plastic waste within the environment.
However, there is only little knowledge on the real timescales until macroscopic fragmentation for the different kinds of plastic under various environmental conditions.
Here, weathering methods are presented, which have been used for the failure prediction in specific outdoor conditions. Issues of uncertainty, reproducibility, or validation are discussed.
For the prediction of the plastic’s fragmentation, much longer time scales have to be considered. To do this within a limited project life span, various processes as well as their acceleration potential have to be evaluated separately, such as temperature increase or spectral shift.
The possibilities and limitations of such controlled acceleration will be discussed.
The investigation of the long-term performance of sealing systems employed in containers for radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel is one research focus area for division 3.4 “Safety of Storage Containers” at the Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM). Our investigations comprise investigations on metallic and elastomeric seals and covers experimental investigations to get a database on the component/material behaviour, work on analytical descriptions and numerical analysis. Our aim is to understand the long-term behaviour of the sealing systems for evaluation of their performance during possible extended interim storage and subsequent transportation.

In this paper, we introduce a nano aerial robot swarm for Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring applications such as occupational health and safety of (industrial) workplaces. The robotic swarm is composed of nano Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), based on the Crazyflie 2.0 quadrocopter, and small lightweight Metal Oxide (MOX) gas sensors for measuring the Total Volatile Organic Compound (TVOC), which is a measure for IAQ. An indoor localization and positioning system is used to estimate the absolute 3D position of the swarm similar to GPS. A test scenario was built up to validate and optimize the swarm for the intended applications. Besides calibration of the IAQ sensors, we performed experiments to investigate the influence of the rotor downwash on the gas measurements at different altitudes and compared them with stationary measurements. Moreover, we did a first evaluation of the gas distribution mapping performance. Based on this novel IAQ monitoring concept, new algorithms in the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO) are planned to be developed exploiting the abilities of an aerial robotic swarm.
The potential benefits to the roll stability of a road tanker, derived from using a convex-bottom tank, instead of a concave-bottom one, are assessed. The convex-bottom tank consists of a modified elliptical figure to which the concave bottom is substituted by a convex one. The concave-bottom consists of an elliptical shape. Static and dynamic analyses are performed, for which the proposed shape revels enhancements on the order of 10%. The static rollover stability factor, and the lateral load transfer ratio, are used as performance measures for the static and the dynamic analysis, respectively. The dynamic analysis derives from a simplified model, for which the sloshing mass is substituted by a calibrated simple pendulum. Other potential benefits of the proposed tank shape are discussed, including a reduction in the aerodynamic drag, and a longer life for the vehicle components.
The interaction between the sloshing cargo and the carrying vehicle has been predominantly studied from the perspective of road safety, aiming at characterizing the effects of cargo motion on both, the lateral stability of the vehicles and the respective braking performance. In this regard, one main issue is to objectively clarify the potential effects of the sloshing cargoes, when compared with solid or non-sloshing cargoes. While there are abundant theoretical studies about the comparative effects of one substance and the other on the vehicle performance, only few experimental studies have been reported with that approach. In this paper, the outputs from an experimental study involving the longitudinal load transfer of sloshing and non-sloshing cargoes, is presented. The longitudinal load transfer is characterized in this paper on the basis of the moment of the reaction forces at the wheel-support interface, with respect to the impact spot. Results suggest that for one-quarter fill level, the sloshing cargo produces an amplification of the performance measure (12% maximum) while at half fill level the sloshing cargo damps the outputs (6.31 % reduction), while at high fill levels, the sloshing effect is mixed, as a function of the impact input, from -1.1% at low impact distance, to +6.6 for large impact distance.
Es wurden insgesamt 57 Einzelversuche zum Versagen von Druckgasbehältern durchgeführt. Untersucht wurden dabei 11-kg-Propangasflaschen, PKW-Radmuldentanks für LPG- sowie CNG-Tanks vom Typ III (Compositetanks mit Aluminiumliner) und Typ IV (Compositetanks mit Polymerliner). Mit 18 hydraulischen Berstversuchen wurde das Versagensverhalten unter kalten Bedingungen charakterisiert. In 39 Unterfeuerungsversuchen mit den gefüllten LPG- und CNG-Tanks, davon 36 mit Tanks ohne Sicherheitseinrichtung, wurde das Behälter¬ver¬sagen durch Brandbeaufschlagung untersucht. Neben verschiedenen Behältermantel¬temperaturen und dem Behälterinnendruck wurde auch die Temperatur des gespeicherten Mediums dokumentiert. Dadurch war es möglich, genau zu dokumentieren, unter welchen Bedingungen und bei welchem Zustand der Behälter versagt hat. In einem Großteil der Unterfeuerungsversuche mit Behältern ohne Sicherheitseinrichtungen kam es zur Bildung eines Feuerballs, einer massiven Druck- und Temperaturwirkung auf den Nahbereich sowie einer Vielzahl von Fragmenten im Nah- und Fernbereich. In einer Entfernung von l = 7 m wurden Überdrücke von bis zu p = 0,41 bar gemessen. In 30 Unterfeuerungsversuchen kam es zur Fragmentierung des Behälters. Dabei konnten 159 Fragmente mit Wurfweite und Masse dokumentiert werden. Die dabei maximal festgestellte Wurfweite eines Fragments lag bei l = 311 m.
Deflagrationsrohrsicherungen sind Sicherheitseinrichtungen, die den Durchfluss von brennbaren Gasen und Dämpfen brennbarer Flüssigkeiten ermöglichen, den Flammendurchschlag und eine weitere Explosionsausbreitung nach der Zündung von explosionsfähigen Gas-/Dampf-Luftgemischen jedoch verhindern sollen. Die Einbaubedingungen sind dabei von besonderer Bedeutung für die Wirksamkeit der Deflagrationsrohrsicherungen. Oft lassen sich aus betrieblichen bzw. verfahrenstechnischen Gründen entsprechende Einbaubedingungen nur schwer oder nicht realisieren. So können beispielsweise Rohrleitungsverzweigungen zusätzliche Turbulenzen induzieren und dadurch zu erhöhten Flammenausbreitungsgeschwindigkeiten und Explosionsdrücken und ggf. zum Versagen der Deflagrationsrohrsicherung führen. Neben den „klassischen“ Untersuchungsmethoden dieser Belastungssituationen von Deflagrationsrohrsicherungen, wie die Erfassung des Explosionsdruckes und der Flammenausbreitungsgeschwindigkeiten, werden in diesem Beitrag die Ergebnisse der visuellen Beobachtungen des Reaktionsverlaufes sowie die Belastungen der Flammendurchschlagsicherung bei unterschiedlichen Einbaubedingungen in den Vordergrund gestellt. Gegenübergestellt wird die Belastungssituation der Flammensperre in einer geraden und einer verzweigten Rohrleitung. Verwendet wurde dafür eine speziell gefertigte Deflagrationsrohrsicherung, die eine Beobachtung des Reaktionsverlaufs im Bereich der spiralförmig gewickelten Metallbändern erlaubt. Zusätzlich wurde im geschützten Bereich in der Rohrleitung eine Kamera installiert, die die Belastungssituation bei den einzelnen Versuchen dokumentierte.
Die Ergebnisse bestätigen sehr eindrucksvoll, dass die Belastungssituation der Deflagrationsrohrsicherung sich in Abhängigkeit von der Konfiguration der Rohrleitung entscheidend ändert
To minimize hazards during manufacturing and production processes of pyrotechnic compositions, semifinished and regular pyrotechnic articles, related properties of the pyrotechnic compositions must be determined and assessed with focus on those parameters that influence the exothermic reactions and explosion phenomena. Estimated impacts of these reactions as well as the sensitivities towards Initiation by thermal, mechanical or electrostatic stresses are relevant for this assessment.
Since the 50s of the last century so-called ‘Hazard Groups’(in German ‘Gefahrgruppen’) of pyrotechnic compositions were defined, to assess these properties which aim was to set appropriate safety measures for production purposes. This system of Hazard Groups is currently under review to determine if they are still relevant with the latest composition developments in this field and still represent the state of the art.
Several necessary changes and new approaches have already been identified. The new system will contain the following Hazard Groups, all with associated protection measures: 1.1 (and further sub-groups 1.1-1, 1.1-2 and 1.1-3), 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4. This structure is aligned to the international principles for the classification of such substances according to the TDG and GHS regulations. New or updated test and assessment criteria for these (sub-) groups are under development, and comprise of aspects such as sensitivity towards friction, impact, temperature and explosion effects.
This paper aims at giving an overview of this system of hazard Groups in Germany to optimize production safety including pyrotechnic compositions. An overview of this system is given along with example cases for testing and assessment, including a short differentiation of the energetic processes during the reactions.
During manufacturing and production processes of pyrotechnic compositions, semi-finished devices and regular pyrotechnic articles an inadvertent reaction or even explosion cannot be fully excluded. The optimization of the design of the involved single work processes can only reduce the risk of such a scenario. For doing so, one must consider the respective properties regarding thermal, mechanical, chemical and electrostatic sensitivities of the compositions being processed. One major key parameter in reducing the risks of such an event is to minimize the consequences, if the likelihood of this event cannot be further reduced.
Minimizing the consequences in cases of unintended explosions during production processes comprises of construction measures regarding buildings (different walls, orientation etc.), increasing safety distances to other buildings, and lowering the maximum net explosive masses and the number of people per room or production process.
Important criteria for defining and setting protection measures are the so-called ‘hazard groups’ (in German ‘Gefahrgruppen’), net explosive masses and the main impacts or hazards (such as blast pressure, heat/radiation and debris).
This paper aims at presenting some approaches used in Germany to minimize the impacts of possible reactions or inadvertent explosions during production processes of pyrotechnic compositions and articles in work spaces. This includes also the determination of safety distances and discussions on reducing thermal impacts.
Laserhybridschweißen von dickwandigen Stählen mit elektromagnetischer Schmelzbadunterstützung
(2019)
Die steigenden Anforderungen in Hinsicht auf Sicherheitsfaktoren von gefügten Bauteilen führen zu einer Zunahme der zu schweißenden Bauteildicken. Das Laserstrahl-Lichtbogen-Hybridschweißverfahren – verbreitet im industriellen Einsatz vor allem im Schiffs- und Windkraftanlagenbau – ermöglicht das einlagige Fügen von dickwandigen Strukturen. Eine Herausforderung stellt das Schweißen von dickwandigen Bauteilen mit reduzierter Geschwindigkeit in Wannenlage (PA-Position) da. Sie ist aufgrund des erhöhten hydrostatischen Druckes und die daraus resultierenden Tropfenbildung an der Wurzelseite bedingt realisierbar. Die im Rahmen dieser Studie eingesetzte elektromagnetische Schmelzbadunterstützung wirkt dem gravitationsbedingten Austropfen der Schmelze entgegen und kompensiert den hydrostatischen Druck. Dabei werden unterhalb der Schweißzone mit Hilfe eines extern angelegten oszillierenden Magnetfeldes Wirbelströme im Werkstück induziert, die eine nach oben gerichtete Lorentzkraft erzeugt. Die Lorentzkraft wirkt dem hydrostatischen Druck entgegen und stellt einen sicheren Schweißprozess ohne Tropfenbildung dar. Mit dem Hybridschweißverfahren mithilfe der elektromagnetischen Schmelzbadunterstützung gelingt es mit einem 20-kW Faserlaser bis zu 30 mm dicke Bleche in einer Lage zu schweißen. Bei 25 mm dicken einlagig geschweißten Platten aus S355 konnte ein Spalt bis 1 mm und ein Kantenversatz bis zu 2 mm sicher überbrückt werden. Die Reduzierung der Schweißgeschwindigkeit hat eine Verringerung der notwendigen Laserleistung zur Folge und begünstigt außerdem die mechanisch-technologischen Eigenschaften, infolge der reduzierten Abkühlgeschwindigkeit. Durch die geringe Martensitbildung führt dies zu einer Verbesserung der Kerbschlagzähigkeit.
Recent studies have shown that even at a very low concentration of impurities (less than 100 ppmv of SO2, NO2, O2 and H2O) the droplet formation and condensation of sulfuric and nitric acids in dense phase CO2 are possible and observable. To reveal the mechanism of droplet corrosion in dense phase CO2 at high pressure and low temperature, further studies on factors that affect wettability and resulting corrosion behaviors of transport pipeline steels are needed. In this study, effects of surface morphology were investigated by varying surface roughness of carbon steel coupons exposed to CO2 stream containing impurities to measure the wettability by contact angle and to observe the condensation as well as possible droplet corrosion that followed. Other considered factors were: pH of the droplet, temperature, droplet volume, and exposure time.
According to the results of the experiments carried out, the following points can be concluded:
1. Exposure tests showed that specimens with the addition of SiO2 particles and polyaniline particles exhibit better corrosion resistance than specimens with the addition of only polyaniline particles or binder only.
2. Open circuit potential measurements showed that in the beginning of the experiments, both coatings had an open circuit potential 100 mV higher than carbon steel. Within one day of immersion, the potential of carbon steel increased significantly, indicating the formation of oxide layer. After extended exposure the carbon steel potential sat between PS1 (which had higher potential) and PS2 (which had a lower potential) and all three were in the range –600 mV to –500 mV vs Ag/AgCl.
3. Both coatings PS-1 and PS-2 were degraded with increasing exposure time, shown by the decrease of absolute impedance value at low frequency range after 2, 4, and 6 days exposure.
4. Potentiodynamic test was performed after 3 hours and 6 days exposure, and it was shown that the coating in the initial stage exhibited more passive behavior than the specimens exposed for 6 days.
By exposure and electrochemical tests in the laboratory the Cu-effect on corrosion behavior of carbon steel, high-alloyed steels and Ti-alloy can be assessed.
Critical materials specific properties were determined by static exposure and electrochemical tests in an artificial geothermal water with high salinity and low pH, containing Cu. Conclusions were drawn using characteristic potential values.
It could be shown that significant Cu-deposition and -precipitation only occurred in combination with carbon steel. High-alloyed materials (S31603, S31653, S31700, S31703, S31803 and N08904) prevent the disturbing Cu-agglomeration. Therefore, they are suitable to be chosen for future design of the piping system, either in massive or in cladded form, if formation of crevices with non-metallic materials can be excluded.
From the interactions and pitting corrosion point of view, R50400 seems to be most favorable.
Bei der Bestrahlung und Bewitterung von polymeren Werkstoffen wird die Degradation durch eine Absorption von Strahlung initiiert und meistens durch weitere Klimagrößen, wie z.B. Wärme, Feuchte und atmosphärische Gase beeinflusst. Die Messung einer effektiven Bestrahlungsstärke und ihre zeitliche Integration sind deshalb von großer Bedeutung und zwar sowohl für die Kontrolle der Funktion des Bewitterungs- oder Bestrahlungsgerätes als auch als zusätzliche Angabe der wirkenden Beanspruchung.
Photochemische Prozesse werden beim Sehen oder allgemeiner bei Farbstoffen schon durch sichtbare (VIS) Strahlung, dagegen bei der Erythembildung der Haut und der Photodegradation von Polymeren erst durch die energiereicheren Photonen der ultravioletten (UV) Strahlung initiiert. Die spektrale Empfindlichkeit des Auges und die Erythembildung sind im VIS- bzw. UV-Bereich sehr stark wellenlängenabhängig, was durch die Angabe der mit der spektralen Hellempfindlichkeit V(λ) des Auges bewerteten VIS-Strahlung in Lux (lx) bzw. die mit der Erythem-Wirkfunktion Serythem bewertete UV Strahlung als dimensionsloser UV-Index berücksichtigt wird. Spektrale Empfindlichkeiten.
Die Photodegradation von Polymeren ist im UV-Bereich ebenfalls stark wellenlängenabhängig, was bisher bei der radiometrischen UV-Messung nicht berücksichtigt wurde. Seit Mitte der 70er Jahre, als die lx- bzw lxh- Messung bei der Strahlungsbeanspruchung langsam durch die Ermittlung der radiometrischen UV-Bestrahlungsstärke bzw. der UV-Bestrahlung im gesamten UV-Bereich abgelöst wurde, gab es hier bei der Bewitterungsprüfung keine weiteren Fortschritte auf dem Gebiet der Charakterisierung der Strahlungsbeanspruchung im UV-Bereich.
Seit Jahren liegen zahlreiche Ergebnisse über die spektrale Empfindlichkeit von Photo-degradationsprozessen vor, die zeigen, dass die spektrale Empfindlichkeit im Bereich der Globalstrahlung an der kurzwelligen Grenze bei ca. 300 nm, am größten ist und im langwelligen UV-Bereich bei ca. 400 nm gegen Null geht. Die Messungen der radiometrischen Größen UV-Gesamtbestrahlungsstärke und UV-Gesamtbestrahlung erfasst deshalb über weite Wellenlängenbereiche Strahlungsanteile, die für die Photodegradation bedeutungslos sind und mittelt über potenziell bedeutsame Änderungen im kurzwelligen UV-Bereich hinweg.
Es wird das Konzept eines neuen UV-Radiometers vorgestellt, dessen spektrale Empfindlichkeit einer mittleren spektralen Empfindlichkeit der Photodegradation von Polymeren entspricht. Die effektive UV-Bestrahlungsstärke und UV-Bestrahlung kann dadurch wesentlich genauer erfasst werden.
Three measurement campaigns of train-induced ground vibrations are evaluated for the vehicle-track-soil interaction. Ground vibrations, track vibrations and vehicle vibrations have been measured for train passages and impulse excitation and compared with theoretical results. The soil and the track-soil system are calculated by wavenumber integrals. The influence of the vehicle is introduced by a substructure method. By comparing theory and measurement the different components of excitation force and ground vibration can be analysed, the quasi-static excitation, track-alignment errors, the out-of-roundness of wheels, the wheel and rail roughness, and moreover, scattered axle impulses and ineffective high-frequency parts of the wheelset accelerations and forces.
An experimental testing rig has been proposed to study the dynamic interaction between a liquid cargo and the carrying vehicle during turning maneuvers. The basic operational principle of the testing rig consists in simulating the lateral accelerations associated to turning maneuvers through the use of a tilt table.
While the experimental capabilities of the testing rig include the analysis of the effects of the cars on the whole transport infrastructure, including sleepers and ballast, a first use of the rig considered the effect of sloshing cargo on the level of dynamic forces transmitted to the rails. Such test was used to validate a simplified theoretical approach consisting of a two degree-of-freedom double pendulum mechanical system, where a simple pendulum, representing the sloshing cargo, is articulated to the spring-supported vehicle chassis, which is modelled as an inverted torsional pendulum. While the theoretical results exhibit a high correlation with the experimental data, the main discrepancy between both outputs, relates with the frequency of the residual vibration, once the lateral acceleration input is ceased. Such difference in frequency, would imply an underestimation of the number of loading cycles to which the infrastructure is subjected. On the other hand, the peak values are within acceptable difference levels.
Die Bildgebung oder Analyse von Materialien mittels luftgekoppelten Ultraschalls profitiert von einer hohen Geschwindigkeit, Flexibilität und Materialschonung des assoziierten Verfahrens. Die Luftankopplung hat jedoch den wesentlichen Nachteil, dass die auftretenden Impedanzsprünge an Grenzflächen zu enormen Verlusten in den Signalamplituden führen. Ultraschallwandler, die laut genug senden und sensitiv genug empfangen, um die geringen Signalamplituden noch auswerten zu können, sind somit zentraler Gegenstand der aktuellen Forschung und Entwicklung. Vielversprechende Wandlertypen sind piezokeramische Wandler, Elektretwandler, aber auch passive, breitbandige Ultraschallempfänger, wie optische Mikrophone. Die quantitative Charakterisierung der Sensitivitäten solcher Wandler wird oft vernachlässigt, da kein simples, universelles Verfahren zur Verfügung steht. In diesem Beitrag geht es um die Methodik der Charakterisierung von Luftultraschallwandlern mittels thermoakustischer Ultraschallsender. Thermoakustische Wandler erzeugen Ultraschall durch das schnelle heizen eines finiten Volumens an Luft vor dem Wandler. Die erhöhte interne Energie führt zu einer Druckänderung, welche sich als akustische Welle fortpflanzen kann. Da keine mechanische Volumenarbeit vom Wandler erbracht wird, funktioniert das Verfahren resonanzfrei.
Die Charakterisierung wird am Beispiel von Elektretwandlern durchgeführt. Elektretwandler sind sensitive und immer verschleißresistentere Schallwandler, wodurch sie verbreitet Einsatz im Hör- und Ultraschallbereich finden. Geladene, zelluläre Polypropylen-Folien eignen sich besonders gut als Wandlermaterial aufgrund ihrer, verglichen mit Piezokompositen, hundertfach niedrigeren akustischen Impedanz bei gleichem piezoelektrischem Koeffizienten. Doch das winkel- und frequenzabhängige Verhalten der Wandler ist kaum untersucht und wenig quantifiziert. Es wird gezeigt, dass diese Folien eine schichtdickenabhängige Sensitivität in Größenordnungen zwischen 0.1 mV/Pa und 10 mV/Pa aufwiesen. Ein Maximum in der Sensitivität fand sich nahe ihrer mechanischen Resonanzfrequenz im Ultraschallbereich, aber auch im niederfrequenten Hörschallbereich. Darüber hinaus konnte die Winkelabhängigkeit der Sensitivität charakterisiert werden. Die Analyse konnte dabei zeiteffizient gestaltet werden, da pro Winkel eine Messung für die Berechnung der Übertragungsfunktion des Wandlers genügte. Quantifiziert wurden die Ergebnisse durch das einmalige Vermessen des Emitters mittels Laser-Doppler-Vibrometrie (LDV). Mit den erzielten Ergebnissen wurde zum einen das komplexe Sensitivitätsverhalten der Wandler untersucht, aber auch eine grundlegende Methodik aufgezeigt, wie Wandler quantitativ, multivariat charakterisiert werden können. Winkel- und frequenzaufgelöste Sensitivitäten erlauben zum einen die Analyse der Anwendbarkeit der Wandler für sämtliche Einsatzgebiete, zum anderen stehen so Rückschlüsse über die mechanische Dynamik von Elektretfolien in Aussicht, da deren Sensitivität direkt mit ihrem Elastizitätsmodul skaliert.
We compare four different sensing solutions suitable for distributed fiber optic humidity sensing in per uorinated graded-index polymer optical fibers (PFGI-POFs). Compared to silica fbers, polymer optical fibers over advantageous beneffits including signifficantly higher break down strain, fracture toughness and humidity sensitivity. Various humidity-related effects in PFGI-POFs have been reported in the last years including measured attenuation and length changes as well as Brillouin frequency and Bragg wavelength shifts. The four aforementioned methods could serve as a basis for distributed and quasi-distributed humidity sensing and are described here closely with an emphasis on plausible cross effects to temperature and strain. The main focus of this paper lies on the comparison of four approaches with regard to method complexity, sensitivity to humidity, spatial resolution, real-time capability and effort to compensate for cross effects.
The reassessment of bridges is becoming increasingly important. The basic requirement for analyses of structural safety is reliable knowledge about individual structures. This paper introduces the new approach to evaluate the quality of measured data gained from non-destructive testing (NDT) to provide reliable, objective, and relevant information about existing bridges. The purpose is to relate this validated knowledge to probabilistic analyses. Bridging the gap between NDT and numerical reassessments indicates reduced numerical uncertainties and residual service time extensions. This paper deals with an application of this approach using measurement data collected by ultrasonic technique at a prestressed concrete bridge.
Während des Entladungsprozesses interagieren Mikrohohlkathodenentladungen (engl. micro hollow cathode discharges) durch verschiedenste physikalische Phänomene mit ihrer Umgebung. Analog zu Funken- und Koronaentladung treten neben den optischen Erscheinungen auch akustische Wechselwirkungen bis in den Ultraschallbereich auf. Diese Wechselwirkungen sind bisher jedoch nur selten Gegenstand der Forschung gewesen. Durch elektro-chemischen Prozesse und die Stromdichteverteilung während des Zündvorgangs erfährt das angrenzende Fluid eine, durch den thermoakustischen Effekt hervorgerufene, rapide Dichteänderung und erzeugt somit eine akustische Emission. Dieser Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über den letzten Stand der akustischen Beschreibung der Mikrohohlkathode. Weiterhin wird anhand von Anwendungsbeispielen, wie der Charakterisierung von akustischen Sensoren, sowie der Nutzung innerhalb der zerstörungsfreien Werkstoffprüfung, die Nutzung dieser Entladungsart präsentiert. Darüber hinaus erlaubt die Kenntnis hinsichtlich der akustischen Eigenschaften der Entladung wichtige Rückschlüsse im Rahmen der Plasmadiagnostik.
Bestimmung der Rissgeometrie bei der zerstörungsfreien Ultraschallprüfung mit geführten Wellen
(2019)
In der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung werden in zunehmendem Maße geführte Ultraschallwellen zur Lokalisation von Fehlstellen genutzt. Geführte Ultraschallwellen zeichnen sich dadurch aus, dass sie große Distanzen innerhalb des zu prüfenden Bauteiles zurücklegen können. Das Ultraschallwellenfeld setzt sich dabei aus verschieden Moden zusammen. Etablierte Prüfverfahren mit geführten Wellen ermitteln häufig nur die Position der Fehlstelle, wobei die Laufzeiten der reflektierten Signale ausgewertet wird. Modenumwandlung bleibt dabei zumeist unberücksichtigt.
Die Charakterisierung der Fehlstelle, zum Beispiel hinsichtlich der Länge eines Risses, ist dagegen herausfordernd. Aussagekräftige Zusammenhänge zwischen der Dimension oder Geometrie der Fehlstelle und ihrer Interaktion mit der Ultraschallwelle zu finden, ist Teil aktueller Forschung. Insbesondere eine Betrachtung der Moden höherer Ordnung und deren Amplitudenverhältnisse kann beim Aufspüren dieser Zusammenhänge hilfreich sein.
Im Beitrag werden zunächst die Zusammenhänge zwischen den beiden fundamentalen Moden in einer isotropen Platte und der Länge eines Risses untersucht. Aus den Ergebnissen wird ein inverses Verfahren motiviert. Ein Algorithmus wird vorgestellt, der die Risslänge im Modell solange variiert, bis er die modalen Zusammenhänge einer Vorgabe oder einer Messung rekonstruiert. Die eingesetzte Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method ermöglicht dabei eine sehr kurze Rechenzeit in jeden Optimierungsschritt. Zusätzlich ermöglicht die Methode eine Auswertung der modalen Zusammenhänge ohne Postprocessing, was die Rechenzeiten weiter verkürzt.
Die Messung von Flüssigkeitskonzentrationen in Rohrsystemen ist von großem Interesse für viele unterschiedliche Anwendungen. Die meisten Messsysteme sind jedoch nicht in der Lage, die Flüssigkeit direkt im Rohr zu untersuchen und es muss eine zusätzliche Vorrichtung, wie z.B. einem Bypass, angebracht werden, welche den Kontakt zwischen Flüssigkeit und Sensor ermöglicht.
Um den Einbauaufwand gering zu halten und die Strömungseigenschaften des Rohres nicht zu beeinflussen, wird ein neuartiges Messsystem entwickelt, welches als Teil der Rohrwand ausgeführt werden kann. Dieses neuartige System ist angelehnt an die Idee der phononischen Kristallen (PnK). PnK’s bestehen im Allgemeinen aus einem Matrixmaterial, in welchem Streuzentren periodisch angeordnet sind. Dies führt beim Eintreffen einer akustischen Welle in definierten Frequenz-bereichen, sogenannter Bandlücken, zu zunehmender destruktiven Interferenz. Wird innerhalb einer solchen Bandlücke durch Einbringen einer flüssigkeitsgefüllten Kavität ein Resonanzverhalten erzeugt, kann dies genutzt werden, um die Flüssigkeit zu analysieren.
Im Rahmen von Voruntersuchung wird zunächst das akustische Verhalten des PnK’s, welcher für die Sensorentwicklung genutzt werden soll, unter Vernachlässigung der Flüssigkeit ausführlich untersucht. Hierbei werden zunächst die Bandlücken ermittelt und das Übertragungsverhalten betrachtet. Dieses wird im Anschluss experimentell überprüft.
In den internationalen Gefahrgutvorschriften ist vorgeschrieben, dass Säcke und flexible Großpackmittel (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container – FIBC) staubdicht sein müssen. Eine quantitative Definition des Terminus Staubdichtheit, wie in anderen Technikgebieten üblich, ist jedoch nicht gegeben. Auch geeignete Prüfverfahren zum Nachweis der Staubdichtheit sind in den Vorschriften nicht genannt.
In der Praxis der stichpunkartigen Kontrollen von Gefahrguttransporten durch die Schwerlastgruppe der Autobahnpolizei Münster werden immer wieder Austritte von pulverförmigen oder körnigen Gefahrgütern aus eigentlich intakten Säcken und FIBC detektiert. Es wird ein Überblick über die im Jahr 2018 festgestellten Gefahrgutaustritte aus diesen Gefahrgutverpackungen sowie eine systematische Einordnung hinsichtlich betroffener Bauarten und möglicher Ursachen gegeben.
Bei der Stofffreisetzung aus intakten Gefahrgutverpackungen liegt ein mechanischer Transport von Partikeln durch Leckkanäle, z. B. im Verschluss-, Naht- oder Wandungsbereich, vor. Generell kommen zwei Freisetzungswege in Frage: Einerseits eine Langzeit-Freisetzung während des Transports, hervorgerufen durch eine kombinierte Wirkung von Stapellast des Füllguts und Transportvibrationen; andererseits eine stoßartige Freisetzung.
Auf Grundlage von durchgeführten Untersuchungen hinsichtlich der stoßartigen Freisetzung pulverförmiger Stoffe aus Gefahrgutsäcken werden erste Lösungsansätze hin zu einer Verbesserung der Staubdichtheit von Gefahrgutsäcken und -FIBC vorgestellt. Es wird ein Ausblick auf nachfolgende Arbeiten gegeben.
Der vorgestellte Modellierungsprozess dient zur Abschätzung einer geeigneten äquivalenten Wärmequelle und Berechnung des thermischen Verhaltens beim Laserstrahlschweißen. Die Methode Kombiniert die Vorteile von gägngigen Simulationsverfahren und reduziert die berücksichtigte Anzahl an physikalischen Aspekten und Kalibrierungsparameter. Durch die modellierten physikalischen Phänomene konnten die Informationen über die Strömung im Schmelzbad und dessen Einfluss auf die resultierende lokale Temperaturverteilung und folglich auf das transiente Temperaturfeld gewonnen werden. Dadurch wurde die Simulatioszeit(inkl. Kalibrierungsaufwand) auf weniger als einen Tag Rechenzeit verringert.
Die Verfügbarkeit von Behältern für die Entsorgung nicht Wärme entwickelnder radioaktiver Abfälle im Endlager Konrad stellt ein wesentliches Element des nationalen Entsorgungskonzeptes für diese Abfallart dar. Grundlage für die Verfügbarkeit geeigneter Behälter sind typspezifische Bauartprüfungen, auf deren Grundlage eine Eignungs-feststellung in Form eines Prüfzeugnisses durch die Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung mbH (BGE), vormals Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz (BfS), erfolgt. Die Prüfgrundlagen sind in den durch das BfS (heute BGE) veröffent-lichten „Anforderungen an endzulagernde radioaktive Abfälle“ (Endlagerungsbedingungen) sowie der zugehörigen „Produktkontrolle radioaktiver Abfälle, radiologische Aspekte“ (PK) verankert. Die Eignungsfeststellung für eine Be-hälterbauart ist gleichzeitig die Grundlage für eine Behälterserienfertigung entsprechend den im Prüfzeugnis veran-kerten Spezifikationen und Randbedingungen.
Mit den Gesetzen zur Neuordnung der Organisationsstruktur im Bereich der Endlagerung (Mitte 2016) und zur Neuordnung der Verantwortung in der kerntechnischen Entsorgung (Mitte 2017) mit der Finanzierung des Kern-energieausstiegs wurden wesentliche Weichenstellungen im Hinblick auf den anstehenden Rückbau der bereits stillgelegten und in den kommenden Jahren noch stillzulegenden deutschen Kernkraftwerke vorgenommen. Bezüg-lich der nicht Wärme entwickelnden radioaktiven Abfälle führt dies zu einer spürbaren Intensivierung der Anstren-gungen zur Bereitstellung qualifizierter Gebinde für das Endlager Konrad, das nach aktueller Planung bis 2027 sei-nen Einlagerungsbetrieb aufnehmen soll. Dies wiederum führt zu einer erheblichen Verdichtung der Verfahren zur Behälterbauartprüfung, die allen Seiten (Antragsteller, BGE, Gutachter) erhebliche Anstrengungen abfordert.
Die Bundesanstalt für Materialprüfung und –forschung (BAM) ist auf Grundlage des Kap. 7 der o. g. „Produktkon-trolle …“ (PK) von der BGE mit den Behälterbauartprüfungen für das Endlager Konrad beauftragt. Hierbei ist eine Vielzahl von Anforderungen zu berücksichtigen, wozu neben den Anforderungen an Abfallbehälter gemäß Kap. 5 der Endlagerungsbedingungen weitere Anforderungen an die Verpackung (Kap. 3.2.2 PK), Kenngrößen (Kap. 3.5.1 PK) und schließlich die eigentliche Prüfung von Behältern/Verpackungen zählt (Kap. 7 PK). Letzteres beinhaltet die umfassende Behälterbeschreibung und –spezifikation, die Behälterauslegung, die thermischen und mechanischen Baumusterprüfungen (z.B. Brand- und Fallprüfungen), und schließlich die qualitätssichernden Maßnahmen für Her-stellung und Betrieb der Behälter. Neben der klassischen Bauartprüfung neuer Behältertypen spielt auch die Prü-fung bereits hergestellter Behälter, sog. Altbehälter, eine wesentliche Rolle, da sich etliche tausend Gebinde bereits in der Zwischenlagerung befinden und nach Möglichkeit für das Endlager Konrad qualifiziert werden sollen.
Dieser Beitrag berichtet aktuell über den Umfang und Stand der laufenden Bauartprüfungen bei der BAM unter Be-rücksichtigung der besonderen Herausforderungen und der zuletzt erzielten Fortschritte. Dabei erfordert die paral-lele Bearbeitung der zahlreichen Verfahren einen verstärkten Koordinierungsbedarf hinsichtlich vergleichbarer fach-licher Aspekte sowie hinsichtlich Priorisierung und Ressourceneinsatz. Bei den experimentellen Nachweisen (Fall- und Brandversuche) betrifft das hinsichtlich der Nutzung der Versuchseinrichtungen bei der BAM die Koordination mit anderen Prüfaufträgen, wie z. B. verkehrsrechtliche Baumusterprüfungen. Schließlich erfordern diverse Fach-fragen zur Interpretation der Anforderungen aus Endlagerungsbedingungen und Produktkontrolle intensive Abstim-mungsprozesse zwischen BAM, BGE und Antragstellern. Wichtige Ergebnisse mit übergeordneter Bedeutung wer-den in Form erläuternder Fachnotizen durch die BGE veröffentlicht und können so bei zukünftigen Antragsverfahren berücksichtigt werden.
The necessity and demand for nondestructive testing of wood-based materials which can automatically scan huge areas of wood is increasing. Air-coupled ultrasound (ACU) is used to detect defects and damage without altering the structure permanently. Using through transmission it is possible to detect even small holes and missing adhesive. If only one side of an object is accessible the reflection mode is preferred at the expense of a reduced resolution and penetration depth. Novel ferroelectret transducers with a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enable a high-precision structure recognition. The transducers made of cellular polypropylene (PP) are quite suitable for ACU testing due to their extremely low Young’s modulus and low density which result in a favorable acoustic impedance for the transmission of ultrasonic waves between the transducer and air. Thus, defects such as delamination, rot, and cracks can be detected. Promising results were obtained under laboratory conditions with frequencies from 90 kHz to 200 kHz. The advantage of these ACU transducers is that they do not require contact to the sample, are accurate, and cost effective. Ultrasonic quality assurance for Wood is an important attempt to increase the acceptance of wooden structures and towards sustainability in civil engineering in general.
In earthquake-prone regions such as the Pacific Northwest, damage assessment tools are needed to enable safety evaluations to support recovery. Currently, damage assessment is performed primarily by visual inspection and is often impossible for structural members that are inaccessible, such as deep foundations or interior members hidden by cladding. This study explores the possibility of using embedded ultrasonic transducers to monitor reinforced concrete members for damage progression under earthquake loading. A novel methodology is proposed where changes in the member condition due to an increase in the earthquake-type loading of a full-scale column-foundation specimen are correlated with changes in the recorded ultrasonic waveforms. The discussed preliminary analysis of the ultrasonic signals is based on wave propagation velocity, changes in the coda wave portion, and maximum amplitude of the signals. Three embedded transducers were used to continuously monitor the laboratory specimen during destructive testing. This paper provides an overview of the proposed methodology, outlines the laboratory experiment, and discusses some preliminary observations.
Ultrasonic transmission measurements are used to monitor concrete elements mostly on a laboratory scale since decades. Recently, coda wave interferometry, a technique adapted from seismology, has been introduced to civil engineering experiments. It can be used to reveal subtle changes in concrete samples and even large construction elements without having a transducer directly at the location where the change is taking place. The methodology works best with embedded transducers to avoid coupling issues or excessive environmental influence. These transducers can be used for newly built and existing structures. Recently, large concrete beams have been equipped with a network of transducers and loaded until failure. Using code wave interferometry, it was possible to visualize stress fields and damaged areas. This paper gives an overview of the state of the art, recent results achieved at BAM and a task list for further results and development.
Auf dem Weg zu Industrie 4.0: Bestimmung von Messunsicherheitsbudgets in der Oberflächentechnik
(2019)
Vorgestellt wurde die Bestimmung von Messunsicherheitsbudgets für sehr unterschiedliche physikalische Größen, die in der Oberflächentechnik von hoher Relevanz sind: Stufenhöhe h, Schichtdicke d, Eindringhärte HIT und Haftfestigkeit. Die Unterschiede betreffen die Art der Prüfmethodik (optisch zerstörungsfrei vs. mechanisch invasiv/zerstörend), die laterale Größe des Integrationsgebietes der Messung (lokal: nano bis sub-mikro vs. global: mikro bis makro) und die Art der Bestimmung von Messunsicherheitsbudgets (physikalische Größen: direkt rückführbar; Werkstoffkenngröße: genormt; Systemkenngröße: genormt).
Im Rahmen von Industrie 4.0 werden ausgehend der geforderten Spezifikation des beschichteten Produkts (Mittelwert mit Vertrauensbereich oder Mindestwert) durchgehende Toleranzbänder zur Oberflächenmodifizierung/Beschichtung des Substrats, einhergehend mit Prozessfenstern, die diese Toleranzbänder garantieren, erforderlich, die zuverlässig erfasst werden müssen. Die Frage der anzuwendenden Mess- und Prüftechnik und die damit notwendige Betrachtung von Messunsicherheitsbudgets ist für die Digitalisierung von Konditionierungs-, Zustands-, Regel- und Steuergrößen unverzichtbar. Mit Blick auf die Einhaltung von Prozessfenstern und die dafür notwendige Prozessführung wird technologisches Kern-Know-how digitalisiert, das es unbedingt zu schützen gilt. Nur lokale Netze können diese Sicherheit garantieren, in globalen Netzen ist die Datensicherheit bestenfalls maximierbar
Ziel des Projektes HARFE (Haftfestigkeit Reproduzierbarkeit Festigkeit) war es, eine Er-höhung der Haft- bzw. Klebfestigkeit auf Niedrigenergie-Polymeren (PE, PP, PTFE) zu erreichen. SENTECH realisierte dazu plasmachemische Oberflächenaktivierungen mit O2 und die Abscheidung von Aluminiumoxidschichten (Al2O3) mittels Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD), wobei die Ellipsometrie zum in-situ Monitoring der ALD-Prozesse diente. Die BAM charakterisierte die modifizierten Oberflächen bezüglich der Oberflächenenergie (OFE) und bestimmte die Verbund- bzw. Klebfestigkeit mittels der Zentrifugentechnologie
Visualisierung von mikro- und nanoskalierten Oberflächenstrukturen mittels abbildender Ellipsometrie
(2019)
In den letzten Jahren hat die Einbindung der abbildenden Ellipsometrie in die Gruppe der optischen Verfahren zur Oberflächencharakterisierung ein enormes Potential bei der Analyse von topologischen Strukturänderungen gezeigt. Der dabei abgebildete Kon-trast wurde typischerweise auf Änderungen im Brechungsindex, Absorptionseffekte oder Schichtdickenänderungen zurückgeführt. In späteren Studien wurde festgestellt, dass auch andere Faktoren, wie etwa die Krümmung der Oberfläche oder Kanten von Struktu-ren einen signifikanten Einfluss auf die Messung der ellipsometrischen Paramater haben. Um diese Effekte aus der ellipsometrischen Messung extrahieren zu können, wird auf die Analyse der Müller-Matrix zurückgegriffen.
In dem hier vorliegenden Beitrag wird gezeigt, wie die Müller-Matrix-Imaging Ellipsomet-rie (MM-IE) zur Charakterisierung von Oberflächenstrukturen verwendet werden kann. Dazu werden mikro- und nanoskaliert gekrümmte Oberflächen zunächst mit verschiede-nen Referenzmethoden, wie Rasterelektronenmikroskopie (SEM), Lichtmikroskopie (OM), Weißlichtinterferenzmikroskopie (WLIM) und Rasterkraftmikroskopie (AFM) vali-diert erfasst. Der anschließende Vergleich mit den Ergebnissen der Müller-Matrix-Ima-ging-Ellipsometrie ermöglicht eine Korrelation der zugrunde liegenden Strukturphäno-mene mit den ellipsometrischen Daten. In diesem Artikel wird das Prinzip an drei industriell relevanten Strukturgruppen demonstriert: Sub-Mikropartikel, Mikropartikel und sub-mikroskalierte Vertiefungen.
In einer Vielzahl technischer Anwendungen spielt die Aufrechterhaltung eines definierten Reibungs- und Verschleißverhaltens zwischen bewegten Oberflächen für die Sicherheit und Funktionalität eine ent-scheidende Rolle. Die Oberflächentechnik versucht durch geeignete Verfahren die Randschichten zu ertüchtigen, um Reibung und Verschleiß zu kontrollieren. Eine Verbesserung der Materialeigenschaften kann durch flächige Beschichtungen erreicht werden. Zusätzlich ermöglichen Oberflächenstrukturierun-gen breite Möglichkeiten zur Beeinflussung des Schmierungszustandes bzw. der Kontaktbedingungen. Neben Negativstrukturen bieten ebenfalls erhabene Mikrostrukturen großes Potenzial zur Beeinflussung des tribologischen Verhaltens. Ihr Einsatz ist aber aufgrund der besonderen Verschleißproblematik er-habener Strukturen momentan limitiert, so dass in der Regel zusätzliche verschleißreduzierende Be-schichtungen notwendig werden.
In diesem Beitrag wurde das Verfahren der Laserimplantation angewandt, mit dem erhabene und sepa-rierte Oberflächenstrukturen hoher Verschleißfestigkeit in einem Fertigungsschritt erzeugbar sind. Das Verfahren basiert auf einem lokalisierten Dispergieren von Hartstoffpartikeln. Hierfür wurde erstmalig ein gepulster Faserlaser mit hoher Strahlqualität zur Erzeugung punkt- und linienförmiger Mikrostrukturen angewandt. Versuche wurden auf dem Kaltarbeitsstahl X153CrMoV12 unter Anwendung von Titandibo-rid als Hartstoff durchgeführt. Anhand von Härtemessungen konnte gezeigt werden, dass sowohl punkt- als auch linienförmige Strukturen mit Härten über 1000 HV1 und einer feinkörnigen Mikrostruktur mit feinverteilten Hartstoffpartikeln herstellbar sind. Des Weiteren war es möglich, die Implantgeometrien, welche an Querschliffen und durch Weißlichtinterferometeraufnahmen erfasst wurden, durch die Puls-leistung und Pulsdauer zu steuern.
Elektromagnetische Porenreduktion beim Laserstrahlschweißen von Aluminium-Druckgusslegierungen
(2019)
Innerhalb der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurde ein elektromagnetisches Schmelzbadbeeinflussungssys-tem zur Reduktion des Porenanteils beim Laserstrahlschweißen von Aluminium-Druckguss verwendet. Hierbei wird der Unterschied der elektrischen Leitfähigkeiten zwischen Gas- bzw. Lufteinschlüssen und geschmolzenem Aluminium gezielt genutzt, um die im Schmelzbad eingeschlossenen Poren während des Laserstrahlprozesses zur Oberfläche zu verdrängen. Die dafür erforderlichen Lorentzkräfte werden durch ein oszillierendes Magnetfeld erzeugt. Bei den Laserstrahlschweißversuchen handelt es sich um Ein-schweißungen in Wannenlage (PA-Position) von 6 mm dickem Aluminium-Druckguss AC-AlSi9MnMg. Über einen zuvor optimierten Laserschweißprozess wurde durch zusätzlichen Einsatz eines elektromag-netischen Feldes dessen Wirkung hinsichtlich des Porengehaltes und der Oberflächenrauheit untersucht. Die Auswertung der Schweißnähte erfolgte anhand von Querschliffaufnahmen, Röntgenbildern sowie Computer-Tomographie (CT) Aufnahmen. In Abhängigkeit von der verwendeten magnetischen Fluss-dichte konnte eine Reduktion des Porenanteils von bis zu 75 % erzielt werden, wobei vor allem großvolu-mige Poren erfolgreich aus dem Schmelzbad entfernt werden konnten. Zudem konnte eine Reduktion der Oberflächenrauigkeit von ebenfalls bis zu 75 % erreicht werden.
This study aims at investigating the use of coal fly ash-based alkali activated mortars as passive fire protection system for steel structures. These systems are used to slow down the temperature rise of the steel substrate in case of fire. In addition, the protective system should guarantee the ability to prevent and/or mitigate steel corrosion phenomena. The behavior of a light-weight mortar was compared to that of a normal-weight mortar. Density and porosity were measured to better characterize the physical properties of the mortars. The degree of protection in case of fire was assessed by performing medium-scale fire tests. Acoustic emission measurements were conducted to analyze cracking phenomena during the high temperature exposure. The corrosion process was evaluated using an electrochemical approach in order to monitor the durability of the developed material. Preliminary results show that a 20 mm-thick layer of light-weight mortar is able to protect the steel substrate from reaching the critical temperature of 500 °C for 38 minutes in case of cellulosic fire. In addition, alkali activated mortars provide protection for carbon steel in presence of aggressive environment (i.e. presence of chlorides). The corrosion resistance is strictly related to the physical properties of the developed mortars.
Corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete is one of the major deterioration mechanisms limiting the service life of reinforced concrete structures. While for conventional (Portland cement-based) concretes a great amount of experience exists in this regard, the factors that determine the onset of reinforcement corrosion in alkali-activated materials are incompletely understood yet. One aspect of corrosion protection is leaching and the accompanying changes of the concrete pore solution. In the present study, alkali-activated fly ash mortars with embedded carbon steel rebars were exposed to de-ionised water for periods up to 330 days, and the electrochemical response of the steel (free corrosion potential, polarisation resistance), the alteration of the mortar (ohmic resistance, mechanical strength, pore size distribution) as well as the pore solution composition were monitored. Although substantial alkali leaching was observed, the pH of the pore solution remained at values sufficient to protect the embedded steel from depassivation. The mortar did not exhibit indications of significant deterioration. Thus, the present results suggest that leaching is not critical for protection of steel reinforcement in alkali-activated fly ash mortars and concretes.
The production of Portland cement causes a substantial environmental impact, since the calcination of limestone results in high emissions of carbon dioxide. The use of supplementary cementitious materials such as calcined clays as partial replacement for Portland cement offers a solution to limit this environmental impact. This paper investigates four clays from deposits in central Germany with the aim of obtaining pozzolans for the production of Portland-pozzolana cement. The results obtained show that the calcined clays possess pozzolanic properties, which differ depending on calcination temperature and the relative amounts of Kaolinite and 2:1 clay minerals.
Mortars for application on concrete, e.g. repair mortars or protective coatings, need to have a durable bond to the substrate. This bond is determined by the adhesion between the two materials and by the differential deformations of the mortar and the substrate. In the present contribution, the hygric deformations (shrinkage/expansion) of novel one-part alkali-activated mortars and their bond to concrete substrates are studied. Shrinkage of the mortars was studied at 50 % r.H., while expansion was studied on mortars stored over an open water surface (> 99% r.H.). The bond behaviour was studied by pull-off tests according to DIN EN 1542 and by optical microscopy.
The alkali-activated mortars exhibit hygric deformations much lower than the deformations of an established, commercial mortar for sewer maintenance that was tested as reference in parallel with the alkali-activated mortars. The bond behaviour of the alkali-activated mortars depends strongly on their mix-design and curing. Optical microscopy showed that in the
mortars with lower bond strength, cracks developed in the mortar during curing. Mortars with appropriate mix-design and curing did not exhibit cracking, and their pull-off strength (up to >3 MPa) conformed to the requirements of relevant standards.
The industrial use of ultrashort laser pulses has made considerable progress in recent years. The reasons for this lie in the availability of high average powers at pulse repetition rates in the several 100 kHz range. The advantages of using ultrashort laser pulses in terms of processing precision can thus be fully exploited. However, high laser intensities on the workpiece can also lead to the generation of unwanted X-rays. Even if the emitted X-ray dose per pulse is low, the accumulated X-ray dose can become significant for high-repetition-rate laser systems so that X-ray exposure safety limits must be considered. The X-ray emission during ultrashort pulse laser processing was investigated for a pulse duration of 925 fs at 1030 nm wavelength and 400 kHz repetition rate. Industrially relevant materials such as steel,aluminum and glass were treated. Tungsten served as reference. X-ray spectra were recorded, and X-ray dose measurements were performed for laser treatment in air. For laser intensities > 2 × 10^13 W/cm2, X-ray doses exceeding the regulatory exposure limits for members of the public were found. Suitable X-ray protection strategies are proposed.
This work presents the testing of a developed elec¬tronic nose for outdoor odour nuisance monitoring. The sensor system consists of a sampling system, a measuring cell equipped with commercially available low-cost gas sensor elements and a data acquisition system. The sensor testing showed that the developed prototype is able to distinguish, identify and partially quantify individual odorous substances like ethanol, ammonia and hydrogen sulphide. Ethanol and ammonia could even be detected below or near their odour threshold.
Heute werden in Stahlkonstruktionen zunehmend hochfeste Baustähle (Streckgrenze ≥ 960 MPa) eingesetzt. Daher sind auch in Schweißnähten solche hohen Festigkeiten gefordert. Jedoch können hohe Eigenspannungen aufgrund geringerer plastischer Dehnungsreserven in diesen Schweißnähten die Sicherheit der Bauteile vermindern. Diese sind insbesondere im Zusammenhang mit Wasserstoff und Härtegefügen risskritisch. Niedrige Bauteilbeanspruchungen und Kosteneinsparungen lassen sich heutzutage mit modernen fokussierten Lichtbogenvarianten und engeren Nahtspalten erreichen. Die vorliegende Studie zeigt allerdings, dass diese modernen Schweißprozesse und die angepasste Nahtgeometrie höhere Wasserstoffkonzentrationen und signifikant gesteigerte oberflächennahe Zugeigenspannungsniveaus bedingen. Anhand mehrlagiger Schweißversuche an S960QL unter Variation von Wärmeführung, Lichtbogenvariante und Nahtöffnungswinkel wurden die Effekte und Wechselwirkungen unter Zuhilfenahme von Eigenspannungsanalytik mittels Röntgendiffraktometrie und Wasserstoffanalytik mittels Trägergasheißextraktion systematisch untersucht. Das Schweißgefüge führte unter kritischer mechanischer Beanspruchung und erhöhtem Gehalt an diffusiblem Wasserstoff insbesondere bei geringem Nahtöffnungswinkel und fokussiertem Lichtbogen zu einer deutlichen Ausbildung von Mikrorissen. Die Mikrorisse führten teils zu einer makroskopischen Ausprägung. Durch Analysen zur Nachwärmung aus der Schweißwärme heraus konnten suffiziente Wärmeführungsparameter für eine effektive Prävention solcher Risse erarbeitet werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt anhand des Interaktionssystems bei der wasserstoffunterstützten Kaltrissbildung Gefüge-Beanspruchung-Wasserstoff, welche Wärmeführungs- und Schweißparameter sich für die hochfesten Feinkornbaustähle zur Kaltrissvermeidung eignen.
Vor nun 30 Jahren im Jahre 1989 wurde die erste Zulassung für eine Kunststoffdichtungsbahn von der BAM auf der Grundlage des „Niedersächsischen Dichtungserlasses“ erteilt. Vor ungefähr 10 Jahren wurde die BAM mit dem Erscheinen der Deponieverordnung (DepV) mit der Zulassung von Geokunststoffen, Polymeren und Dichtungskontrollsystemen beauftragt. Wir möchten dies zum Anlass nehmen, an dieser Stelle den viele ehrenamtlichen Experten des Fachbeirats und seiner Arbeitsgruppen für ihren Einsatz und die Unterstützung zu danken.
Darüber hinaus soll über aktuelle Arbeitsthemen und Entwicklungen im Fachbeirat berichtet werden. So soll in einer Sondersitzung des Fachbeirats über die Entlassung aus der Nachsorgephase beim Einsatz von Geokunststoffprodukten in Böschungen diskutiert werden. Es ist geplant, in einer Unterarbeitsgruppe eine Sitzung über die Fremdüber¬wachung in der Produktion abzuhalten. Darüber hinaus werden Änderungen in den Zulassungsrichtlinien für Kunststoff Dichtungsbahnen und Kunststoff Dränelemente kurz vorgestellt. In der Zwischenzeit wurde auch die abschließende Zulassungsrichtlinie für Geogitter verabschiedet. Neue Fragestellungen sind hier entstanden. Unter welchen Voraussetzungen können Geogitter in Zwischenabdichtungen eingesetzt werden. Bisher können diese Produkte formal nur in Oberflächenabdichtungen eingesetzt werden. Auch auf diese beiden Themen soll im Folgenden in Kürze eingegangen werden.
Metallene Konstruktionswerkstoffe reagieren infolge ihres thermodynamisch instabilen Zustandes mehr oder weniger stark mit Stoffen aus der Umgebung. Eine große Rolle bei diesen Reaktionen spielt das Feuchtigkeitsangebot an der Metalloberfläche, welches nicht zwingend mit einem sichtbaren Wasserfilm einhergehen muss. An der Atmosphäre bilden sich an sauberen Metalloberflächen bei etwa 80 % relativer Luftfeuchte, bei versalzten Oberflächen auch schon ab etwa 25 % r. F., Feuchtfilme aus. Im Feuchtfilm laufen grundsätzlich die gleichen elektrochemischen Reaktionen ab, wie diese von wässrigen Medien bekannt sind. Dabei geht das Metall zunächst in Ionenform und in nachgelagerten Reaktionen in einen thermodynamisch stabilen Zustand in Form unterschiedlichster Oxid- und Hydroxidverbindungen über. Die so entstehenden Korrosionsprodukte können im Feuchtigkeitsfilm begrenzt löslich oder unlöslich sein und lagern sich auf den Oberflächen der Konstruktionswerkstoffe häufig als feste Korrosionsprodukte ab bzw. wachsen dort auf. Je nachdem wie die Korrosionsprodukte strukturell zum Untergrund passen, können sich dichte, sehr gut haftende Schichten ausbilden oder poröse, dicke Schichten ohne nennenswerte Haftung aufwachsen. Wachsen dichte, porenfreie Schichten mit guter Haftung auf, die im umgebenden Medium unlöslich sind, wird die weitere Auflösung des Metalls stark gehemmt. Man spricht dann von der Ausbildung schützender Deckschichten bzw. von Passivschichten auf welcher der Korrosionsschutz und damit die Dauerhaftigkeit vieler Konstruktionswerkstoffe beruhen. Kaesche bezeichnete die Passivität sehr treffend als „optimalen Grenzfall des Korrosionsschutzes durch Schichten von Korrosionsprodukten“. Aus technischer Sicht hält Kaesche eine Unterscheidung von Deckschichten bzw. Passivschichten für nicht zwingend erforderlich, da beide die Korrosionsgeschwindigkeit in gleichem Maß herabsetzen können. Die Übergänge zwischen den meist dickeren und dadurch sichtbaren Deckschichten und den meist dünnen, nicht sichtbaren Passivschichten sind fließend.
Mixing and curing of geopolymers and related alkali-activated materials without storage and handling of highly alkaline solutions possesses advantages regarding safety and economic viability. One possible approach is to produce these materials from solid silica feedstocks and solid sodium aluminate, and subsequent mixing with water. We present a comparison between geopolymers and aluminosilicate gel-zeolite composites synthesized by this route from different silica feedstocks (by-product silica from chlorosilane production, microsilica, rice husk ash) and with different SiO2/Al2O3 ratios, using results from XRD, NMR, SEM, thermal analysis, mechanical and acid resistance testing. The use of rice husk ash favors formation of a fully amorphous geopolymer with high strength. Utilization of the other silica feedstocks leads to formation of aluminosilicate gel-zeolite composites, the amount and kind of zeolites depending on the feedstock and the SiO2/Al2O3 ratio. These composites show beneficial dehydration behavior, viz. no distinct dehydration step of thermal strain, with the phase assemblage after heating to 1000°C controlled by the starting composition. Mortars produced from both, the geopolymers as well as the composites, exhibit high resistance to sulfuric acid attack, making them promising materials for the construction and the repair of industrial and sewer structures.
