Über die Entwicklung von Anwendungsregeln für reaktive Brandschutzsysteme auf Stahlzuggliedern
(2014)
Der vorliegende Beitrag stellt den Entwicklungsstand von Anwendungsregeln für reaktive Brandschutzsysteme auf Stahlzuggliedern zusammenfassend dar. Dabei wird insbesondere auf die jüngsten Veränderungen in den normativen Grundlagen und bauaufsichtlichen Regelungen eingegangen und im Hinblick auf Sicherheitsaspekte bewertet.
Die Verringerung der Teilsicherheit für den Bauteilwiderstand nicht stabilitätsgefährdeter Bauteile im Regelwerk für die Kaltbemessung von Stahltragwerken ist hier als besonders kritisch anzusehen, da hierdurch ein systematisches Sicherheitsdefizit für den Brandfall verursacht wird.
Weiterhin werden neuste Forschungsergebnisse bei der Entwicklung von Bewertungsregeln von reaktiven Brandschutzsystemen auf Vollkreisprofilen unter Zugbeanspruchung vorgestellt und diskutiert. Die Untersuchungen behandeln die Fragestellung, inwieweit Prüfungen mit Zugbeanspruchungen an Kreisvollprofilen erforderlich sein werden.
The vibrational density of states of a series of homologous triphenylene-based discotic liquid crystals HATn (n = 5, 6, 8, 10, 12) depending on the length of the aliphatic side chain is investigated by means of inelastic neutron scattering. All studied materials have a plastic crystalline phase at low temperatures, followed by a hexagonally ordered liquid crystalline phase at higher temperatures and a quasi isotropic phase at the highest temperatures. The X-ray scattering pattern for the plastic crystalline phase of all materials shows a sharp Bragg reflection corresponding to the intercolumnar distance in the lower q-range and a peak at circa 17 nm-1 related to intracolumnar distances between the cores perpendicular to the columns as well as a broad amorphous halo related to the disordered structure of the methylene groups in the side chains in the higher q-range. The intercolumnar distance increases linearly with increasing chain length for the hexagonal columnar ordered liquid crystalline phase. A similar behaviour is assumed for the plastic crystalline phase. Besides n = 8 all materials under study exhibit a Boson peak. With increasing chain length, the frequency of the Boson peak decreases and its intensity increases. This can be explained by a self-organized confinement model. The peaks for n = 10, 12 are much narrower than for n = 5, 6 which might imply the transformation from a rigid system to a softer one with increasing chain length. Moreover the results can also be discussed in the framework of a transition from an uncorrelated to a correlated disorder with increasing n where n = 8 might be speculatively considered as a transitional state.
Klebverbindungen im modernen Hochbau können helfen, innovative ästhetische Bedürfnisse im Fassadenbau umzusetzen, technologische Verbesserungen zu erreichen, aber auch die Wechselwirkung von Gebäuden mit der Umwelt unter energetischen Aspekten zu optimieren. Aufgrund der hohen sicherheitstechnischen Bedeutung gibt es hohe Anforderungen an die Leistungsfähigkeit, Dauerhaftigkeit und die Gütesicherheit.
Mit einer zerstörungsfreien praxistauglichen Prüftechnik, die eine sichere Überprüfung der Integrität von Glas-Metall Klebverbindungen im Ingenieurhochbau gewährleistet, kann sowohl ein wichtiger Beitrag zur Qualitätssicherung bei der Herstellung von Fassadenelementen aber auch bei der späteren Bauwerksüberwachung im Verlauf der Nutzungsdauer geleistet werden. Für eine Beurteilung der Qualität der Verbundfuge (z.B. bezgl. Standsicherheit) sind dabei Aussagen zur Homogenität der Verbundfuge, zum adhäsiven und kohäsiven Verbundverhalten gefordert. Hierzu besteht aktuell insbesondere Bedarf an zerstörungsfreien praxisgerechten, hoch ortsauflösenden und möglichst bildgebenden Untersuchungsverfahren.
Es wird mit einem Matrixarray und mit konventionellen Winkelprüfköpfen eine Prüftechnik vorgestellt, mit der die Wechselwirkung zwischen Ultraschallwelle und Fehlstelle in der Klebefuge untersucht wird. Hierbei ist das erste Untersuchungsziel, mit einer angepassten Ultraschall-Prüftechnik mögliche Inhomogenitäten oder Schädigungsstellen in der geklebten Glas-Metall Verbindung zu detektieren.
Über diese qualitativen Aussagen hinaus werden weiterführende Informationen über die flächenhafte Ausdehnung und den Ort einer mangelnden Klebung ermittelt. Dazu werden die Messwerte zusammen mit den Positionen des Ultraschallprüfkopfs aufgezeichnet. Mit Hilfe einer bildhaften Auswertung der gemessenen Ultraschallechos in Abhängigkeit vom Prüfkopfort werden die Möglichkeiten einer detaillierten Integritätsanalyse der Glas-Metall Klebschicht dargestellt. In diesem Beitrag werden experimentelle Prüfergebnisse vorgestellt, die im Sinne einer Verfahrensvalidierung an einem speziellen Beispielprobekörper zur Nachstellung einer SSG-Verglasung (ermittelt wurden und die Detektion fehlerhafter Klebestellen in einer Glas-Metall-Klebverbindung zum Ziel haben.
Untersuchung der Auflösungsgrenzen der Lockin-Thermografie zur Prüfung von Faserverbundwerkstoffen
(2014)
Aktive Thermografie mit Lockin-Anregung stellt ein berührungsfreies und zerstörungsfreies Prüfverfahren dar, welches insbesondere auch die Prüfung von kohlenstofffaserverstärkten Kunststoffen ermöglicht. Um eine Standardisierung dieses Verfahrens voranzubringen, wurden im Rahmen eines Forschungsprojektes umfangreiche Untersuchungen zur Validierung des Verfahrens durchgeführt.
Dabei wurden unter anderem der Einfluss der spektralen Empfindlichkeit verschiedener Kamerasysteme, unterschiedlicher Lagenaufbauten bei CFK-Probekörpern und der Einfluss einer Phasenverschiebung zwischen dem Anregungssignal und der Detektion der Thermografiebilder untersucht.
At BAM a multi-sensor robot system BetoScan is used for the investigation of reinforced concrete floors affected by corrosion in parking garages.
Potential maps, as well as the distribution of concrete cover and moisture can be assessed simultaneously and data can be collected contactlessly. In order to evaluate the extent of degradation adequately and to divide the investigated structure into zones with defined damage classes, large data sets have to be collected and interpreted manually. Thus, to promote an efficient data evaluation framework, which could speed up and simplify the evaluation of large data sets, an unsupervised data fusion is of major interest. However, taking into account that collected data do not certainly coincide in space, a scattered data interpolation method should be applied prior data fusion.
In the paper, a case study involving a BetoScan data set acquired from a reinforced concrete floor of a parking garage in Germany is presented. The data set includes potential mapping, covermeter based on eddy current, as well as microwave moisture measurements. Among the examined methods for interpolation of scattered data, kriging shows to yield smooth interpolated data plots even in the case of very sparse data. In the post-processing step, the investigated structure is efficiently segmented into zones using clustering based data fusion methods, which prove to be robust enough also for handling noisy data. Based on the minimization of the XB validity index, an unsupervised selection of optimal segmentation into damage classes is derived.
Ultrasonic testing of adhesively bonded joints using air-coupled cellular polypropylene transducers
(2014)
In air-coupled ultrasonic testing, the impedance mismatch between the transducer and the air is commonly being solved by adding matching layers to composite transducers. To avoid the difficult technological procedure regarding matching layers, some new piezoelectric materials have been proposed. Most promising are ferroelectrets, which are charged cellular polymers, having ferroelectric and consequently piezoelectric properties. In particular, the extreme softness of cellular polypropylene (cPP) leads to a high piezoelectric constant and to a good impedance match with the air, making matching layers redundant. Its elasticity modulus below 1 MPa causes an additional effect not observed with common piezoelectric materials: that is the electrostrictive effect, here defined as the thickness change due to the attractive force between the transducer electrodes. This effect exceeds the piezoelectric effect at excitation voltages over 1 kV. The extreme softness of cPP leads also to high flexibility, enabling easy focusing by bending the transducer.
We have developed air-coupled ultrasonic transducers based on cPP. This includes the electrical matching networks for the transmitter and for the receiver. The transmitter is excited with voltages up to 2.5 kV, so that the electrostrictive effect dominates, leading to sound pressure around 145dB at the transducer surface. These transducers have been applied for testing carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer plates, adhesive joints and other composite structures. Here we report about ultrasonic transmission of two types of adhesive joints. The first one is multi-layer aluminium components with some artificial disbonds, which are common in aerospace industry, and the second one is an aluminium-steel joint with polyurethane adhesive, which is used in automotive industry.
Using ultrafast X-ray diffraction, we study the coherent picosecond lattice dynamics of photoexcited thin films in the two limiting cases, where the photoinduced stress profile decays on a length scale larger and smaller than the film thickness. We solve a unifying analytical model of the strain propagation for acoustic impedance-matched opaque films on a semi-infinite transparent substrate, showing that the lattice dynamics essentially depend on two parameters: One for the spatial profile and one for the amplitude of the strain. We illustrate the results by comparison with high-quality ultrafast X-ray diffraction data of SrRuO3 films on SrTiO3 substrates.
Rigid rod-type metallo-supramolecular coordination polyelectrolytes with Fe(II) centres (Fe-MEPEs) are produced via the self-assembly of the ditopic ligand 1,4-bis(2,2':6',2''-terpyridine-4'-yl)benzene (tpy-ph-tpy) and Fe(II) acetate. Fe-MEPEs exhibit remarkable electrochromic properties; they change colour from blue to transparent when an electric potential is applied. This electrochemical process is generally reversible. The blue colour in the ground state is a result of a metal-to-ligand charge transfer at the Fe(II) centre ion in a quasi-octahedral geometry. When annealed at temperatures above 100 °C, the blue colour turns into green and the formerly reversible electrochromic properties are lost, even after cooling down to room temperature. The thermally induced changes in the Fe(II) coordination sphere are investigated in situ during annealing of a solid Fe-MEPE using X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. The study reveals that the thermally induced transition is not accompanied by a redox process at the Fe(II) centre. From the detailed analysis of the XAFS spectra, the changes are attributed to structural changes in the coordination sphere of the Fe(II) site. In the low temperature state, the Fe(II) ion rests in a quasi-octahedral coordination environment surrounded by six nitrogen atoms of the pyridine rings. The axial Fe–N bond length is 1.94 Å, while the equatorial bond length amounts to 1.98 Å. In the high temperature state, the FeN6-site exhibits a distortion with the axial Fe–N bonds being shortened to 1.88 Å and the equatorial Fe–N bonds being elongated to 2.01 Å.
In order to investigate molecular recognition on surfaces, an azide-functionalized monolayer was deposited on gold. The monolayer was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and angle-resolved near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) experiments and the decomposition of the azide upon irradiation with X-ray beams was investigated. Subsequently, various alkyne-functionalized host and guest molecules were attached to the azide by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition. These modified surfaces and their host–guest chemistry were analysed by XPS and angle-resolved NEXAFS. The reversibility of guest binding was shown for one example as a proof of principle.
The tribological and mechanical properties of niobium carbides (NbC) bonded with cobalt of Fe3Al
(2014)
The tribological and mechanical properties of niobium carbide bonded with 8 vol.-% (NbC-8Co), 12 vol.-% of cobalt (NbC-12Co) or 12 vol.-% of Fe3Al (NbC-12Fe3Al) are presented. Rotating discs made of metal-bonded niobium carbide were mated against alumina (99.7%) under unlubricated (dry) unidirectional sliding tests (0.1 m/s to 12.0 m/s; 22 °C and 400 C) as well as in oscillation tests (f=20 Hz, Δx=0.2 mm, 2/50/98% rel. humidity, n=105/106 cycles). Microstructure and phase compositions were determined as well. The tribological data obtained were benchmarked with different ceramics, cermets, hard metals and thermally sprayed coatings, where NbC bonded with 8% and 12% Co presented above 7 m/s the lowest wear rates so far in such a benchmark. Binderless NbC (HP-NbC1) and the metal-bonded NbCs exhibited low wear rates under dry sliding associated with P·V high load carrying capacities. NbC-based hard metal bonded with 12 vol.-% of Fe3Al resulted in a higher hardness level than for 12 vol.-% cobalt. The tribological profile established revealed a strong position of NbC-bearing materials under tribological considerations and for closed tribosystems against established reference tribo-couples.
