An observation of the fracture process in front of the crack tip inside a dentin sample by means of ex-situ X-ray computed tomography after uniaxial compression at different deformation values was carried out in this work. This ex-situ approach allowed the microstructure and fracturing process of human dentin to be observed during loading. No cracks are observed up to the middle part of the irreversible deformation in the samples at least visible at 0.4μm resolution. First cracks appeared before the mechanical stress reached the compression strength. The growth of the cracks is realized by connecting the main cracks with satellite cracks that lie ahead of the main crack tip and parallel its trajectory. When under the stress load the deformation in the sample exceeds the deformation at the compression strength of dentin, an appearance of micro-cracks in front of the main cracks is observed. The micro-cracks are inclined (~60°) to the trajectory of the main cracks. The further growth of the main cracks is not realized due to the junction with the micro-cracks; we assume that the micro-cracks dissipate the energy of the main crack and suppressed its growth. These micro-cracks serve as additional stress accommodations, therefore the samples do not break apart after the compression test, as it is usually observed under bending and tension tests.
AbstractHigh-strength aluminum alloys used in aerospace and automotive applications obtain their strength through precipitation hardening. Achieving the desired mechanical properties requires precise control over the nanometer-sized precipitates. However, the microstructure of these alloys changes over time due to aging, leading to a deterioration in strength. Typically, the size, number, and distribution of precipitates for a quantitative assessment of microstructural changes are determined by manual analysis, which is subjective and time-consuming. In our work, we introduce a progressive and automatable approach that enables a more efficient, objective, and reproducible analysis of precipitates. The method involves several sequential steps using an image repository containing dark-field transmission electron microscopy (DF-TEM) images depicting various aging states of an aluminum alloy. During the process, precipitation contours are generated and quantitatively evaluated, and the results are comprehensibly transferred into semantic data structures. The use and deployment of Jupyter Notebooks, along with the beneficial implementation of Semantic Web technologies, significantly enhances the reproducibility and comparability of the findings. This work serves as an exemplar of FAIR image and research data management.
A semi-automatic thermographic procedure for the assessment of the welded area of resistance projection welded joints has been developed. Currently, to assess the quality of RPW joints destructive tests are used and the more commonly used non-destructive technique is the ultrasonic one. The possibility for a quantitative evaluation of the welded area by thermographic technique has been proved by means of an innovative procedure applied on steel RPW joints with ‘as it’ surface conditions. Measurements obtained by thermography and ultrasound have been compared, to verify the developed procedure.
In this work, the thermal properties of ternary Li₃ₓCo₇₋₄ₓSb₂₊ₓO₁₂ solid solutions are studied for different concentrations in the range 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.7. Samples are elaborated at four different sintering temperatures: 1100, 1150, 1200 and 1250 °C. The effect of increasing the content of Li⁺ and Sb⁵⁺, accompanied by the reduction of Co²⁺, on the thermal properties is studied. It is shown that a thermal diffusivity gap, which is more pronounced for low values of x, can be triggered at a certain threshold sintering temperature (around 1150 °C in this study). This effect is explained by the increase of contact area between adjacent grains. Nevertheless, this effect is found to be less pronounced in the thermal conductivity. Moreover, a new framework for heat diffusion in solids is presented that establishes that both the heat flux and the thermal energy (or heat) satisfy a diffusion equation and therefore highlights the importance of thermal diffusivity in transient heat conduction phenomena.
Laser powder bed fusion of metallic components (PBF-LB/M) is gaining acceptance in industry. However, the high costs and lengthy qualification processes required for printed components create the need for more effective in-situ monitoring and testing methods. This article proposes multispectral Optical Tomography (OT) as a new approach for monitoring the PBF-LB/M process. Compared to other methods, OT is a low-cost process monitoring method that uses long-time exposure imaging to observe the build process. However, it lacks time resolution compared to expensive thermographic sensor systems. Monochromatic OT (1C-OT) is already commercially available and observes the building process layer-wise using a single wavelength window in the NIR range. Multispectral OT (nC-OT) utilizes a similar setup but can measure multiple wavelength ranges per location simultaneously. By comparing the classical 1C-OT and nC-OT approaches, this article examines the advantages of nC-OT (two channel OT and RGB-OT) in reducing the false positive rate for process deviations and approximating maximum temperatures for a better comparison between different build processes and materials. This could ultimately reduce costs and time for part qualification. The main goal of this contribution is to assess the advantages of nC-OT compared to 1C-OT for in-situ process monitoring of PBF-LB/M.
To evaluate the durability of new alternative cement compositions, it is important to examine the internal transport of moisture through these materials. For this purpose, mortars were prepared from different types of cement and capillary suction experiments were carried out. The moisture transport was studied with an NMR tomograph and compared with weight easurements. With the tomograph, the total moisture input could be determined, as well as the moisture content within the samples non-destructively and spatially resolved. This allows precise observation of the moisture fronts. The tomograph was also used to determine the capillary transport
coefficient.

Laser powder bed fusion is one of the most promising additive manufacturing techniques for printing complex-shaped metal components. However, the formation of subsurface porosity poses a significant risk to the service lifetime of the printed parts. In-situ monitoring offers the possibility to detect porosity already during manufacturing. Thereby, process feedback control or a manual process interruption to cut financial losses is enabled.
Short-wave infrared thermography can monitor the thermal history of manufactured parts which is closely connected to the probability of porosity formation. Artificial intelligence methods are increasingly used for porosity prediction from the obtained large amounts of complex monitoring data. In this study, we aim to identify the potential and the challenges of deep-learning-assisted porosity prediction based on thermographic in-situ monitoring.
Therefore, the porosity prediction task is studied in detail using an exemplary dataset from the manufacturing of two Haynes282 cuboid components. Our trained 1D convolutional neural network model shows high performance (R2 score of 0.90) for the prediction of local porosity in discrete sub-volumes with dimensions of (700 x 700 x 40) μm³.
It could be demonstrated that the regressor correctly predicts layer-wise porosity changes but presumably has limited capability to predict differences in local porosity. Furthermore, there is a need to study the significance of the used thermogram feature inputs to streamline the model and to adjust the monitoring hardware. Moreover, we identified multiple sources of data uncertainty resulting from the in-situ monitoring setup, the registration with the ground truth X-ray-computed tomography data and the used pre-processing workflow that might influence the model’s performance detrimentally.
In the event of moisture deterioration, rapid detection and localization is particularly important to prevent further deterioration and costs. For building floors, the layered structure poses a challenging obstacle for most moisture measurement methods. But especially here, layer-specific information on the depth of the water is crucial for efficient and effective repairs. Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) shows the potential to generate such depth information. Therefore, the present work investigates the suitability of GPR in combination with machine learning methods for the automated classification of the typical deterioration cases (i) dry, (ii) wet insulation, and (iii) wet screed.
First, a literature review was conducted to identify the most common methods for detecting moisture in building materials using GPR. Here, it especially became clear that all publications only investigated individual time-, amplitude- or frequency features separately, without combining them. This was seen as a potential aspect for innovation, as the multivariate application of several signal features can help to overcome individual weaknesses and limitations.
Preliminary investigations carried out on drying screed samples confirmed the profitable use of multivariate evaluations. In addition to the general suitability and dependencies of various features, first limitations due to possible interference between the direct wave and the reflection wave could be identified. This is particularly evident with thin or dry materials, for which the two-way travel times of the reflected radar signals become shorter.
An extensive laboratory experiment was carried out, for which a modular test specimen was designed to enable the variation of the material type and thickness of screed and insulation, as well as the simulation of moisture deteriorations. The data collected revealed clear differences between dry and deteriored structures within measured B-scans. These deviations were to be detected with the newly introduced B-scan features, which evaluate the statistical deviation of A-scan features within a survey line. In this way, deteriorations to unknown floor structures are recognized, regardless of the material parameters present. In a subsequent training and cross-validation process of different classifiers, accuracies of over 88 \% of the 504 recorded measurements (252 different experimental setups) were achieved. For that, the combination of amplitude and frequency features, which covered all relevant reflections of the radar signals, was particularly beneficial. Furthermore, the data set showed only small differences between dry floors and deteriored screeds for the B-scan features, which could be attributed to a homogeneous distribution of the added water in the screeds. The successfully separation of these similar feature distributions raised the suspicion of overfitting, which was examined in more detail by means of a validation with on-site data.
For this purpose, investigations were carried out at five different locations in Germany, using the identical measurement method like in the laboratory. By extracting drilling cores, it was possible to determine the deterioration case for each measurement point and thus generate a corresponding reference. However, numerous data had to be sorted out before classification, since disturbances due to underfloor heating, screed reinforcements, steel beams or missing insulation prevented comparability with the laboratory experiments. Validation of the remaining data (72 B-scans) achieved only low accuracy with 53 \% correctly classified deterioration cases. Here, the previously suspected overfitting of the small decision boundary between dry setups and deteriored screeds within the laboratory proved to be a problem. The generally larger deviations within (also dry) on-site B-scans were thus frequently misclassified as screed deterioration. In addition, there were sometimes strongly varying layer thicknesses or changing cases of deterioration within a survey line, which caused additional errors due to the local limitation of the drilling core reference. Nevertheless, individual on-site examples also showed the promising potential of the applied signal features and the GPR method in general, which partly allowed a profound interpretation of the measurements. However, this interpretation still requires the experience of trained personnel and could not be automated using machine learning with the available database. Nevertheless, such experience and knowledge can be enriched by the findings of this work, which provide the basis for further research.
Future work should aim at building an open GPR data base of on-site moisture measurements on floors to provide a meaningful basis for applying machine learning. Here, referencing is a crucial point, whose limitations with respect to the moisture present and its distribution can easily reduce the potential of such efforts. The combination of several reference methods might help to overcome such limitations. Similarly, a focus on monitoring approaches can also help to reduce numerous unknown variables in moisture measurements and increase confidence in the detection of different deterioration cases.
