This paper presents a novel non-destructive testing and health monitoring system using a network of tactile transducers and accelerometers for the condition assessment and damage classification of foundation piles and utility poles. While in traditional pile integrity testing an impact hammer with broadband frequency excitation is typically used, the proposed testing system utilizes an innovative excitation system based on a network of tactile transducers to induce controlled narrow-band frequency stress waves. Thereby, the simultaneous excitation of multiple stress wave types and modes is avoided (or at least reduced), and targeted wave forms can be generated. The new testing system enables the testing and monitoring of foundation piles and utility poles where the top is inaccessible, making the new testing system suitable, for example, for the condition assessment of pile structures with obstructed heads and of poles with live wires. For system validation, the new system was experimentally tested on nine timber and concrete poles that were inflicted with several types of damage. The tactile transducers were excited with continuous sine wave signals of 1 kHz frequency. Support vector machines were employed together with advanced signal processing algorithms to distinguish recorded stress wave signals from pole structures with different types of damage. The results show that using fast Fourier transform signals, combined with principal component analysis as the input feature vector for support vector machine (SVM) classifiers with different kernel functions, can achieve damage classification with accuracies of 92.5% ± 7.5%.
The vulnerability of low-quality concrete of some bridges to ageing and deterioration while they are exposed to environmental conditions during their service life, influence of growing population and climate changes, is a well-known effect and requires survey. For survey, the development of a low cost, cost-efficient sensor network to be embedded for continuous or attached to the surface for periodic monitoring is essential.
Changing ground water conditions, flood or even leakage in fresh or disposal of waste water can lead to in-creased moisture content in building materials and structural elements as walls or floors. Moisture allows the transport of other adverse chemicals that might reduce the durability of structures. The paper presents a feasibility study about the capability of microwave modules as bluetooth® or ZigBee with frequency range at 2,4 GHz to create advanced Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) for estimation and visualization of moisture distribution in infrastructure assets. It was found that the value of the received signal strength indication (RSSI) depends on the moisture content and can be the basis for the moisture distribution inside a massive structure.
The microwave modules may be used to compose networks outside and inside of building materials or structural elements. The higher the number of connections between BLE modules, the more precise and the more distant information can be obtained from the network. Mesh networking was applied to increase the quantitative information.
The presented development of a damping model is a research component of an experimental feasibility study about moisture in building materials measured with Bluetooth® Low Energy (BLE) signals. This study may be part of a structural health- and long-term monitoring aiming at early damage detection in the built infrastructure and is increasingly focusing on wireless sensor network technology. It is investigated, how the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) of a BLE signal, transmitted from the BLE-module embedded in building materials with changing moisture content is damped. The aim of the modelling is the derivation of a damping equation for the formal model to determine the moisture damping exponent to finding a correlation.
Issues that prevent Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) based on Guided Waves (GW) from being a part of today’s monitoring solutions in industry are not all obvious to the scientific community. To uncover and overcome these issues, scientists working on SHM and GW problems joined in an expert committee under the patronage of the German Society for Non-Destructive Testing. An initiated online survey among more than 700 experts and users reveals the hurdles hindering the practical application of GWbased SHM. Firstly, methods for proof of reliability of SHM approaches are missing.
Secondly, detailed understanding of phenomenological described wave-damage interactions is needed. Additionally, there are significant unsolved implementation issues and unsolved problems of signal processing including handling of environmental influences.
To enable substantial proof of reliability without unaffordable experimental effort also efficient simulation tools including realistic damage interaction are needed, enabling the joint use of experimental and simulated data to predict the capabilities of the Monitoring system. Considering these issues, the committee focusses on simulation, signal processing, as well as probability of detection and standardization. In the presented work, recent activities of the expert committee starting with survey results are summarized. An open access data basis of life-like measurements is presented to allow testing and comparison of signal processing and simulation algorithms. Finally, a strategy for efficient proof of reliability increasing the acceptance of SHM in industry and for successful Integration of SHM into real-world engineering structures is proposed.

Der Unterausschuss „Geführte Wellen“ im Fachausschuss „Zustandsüberwachung“ der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Zerstörungsfreie Prüfung (DGZfP) hat in einer Online-Umfrage den aktuellen Stand des Einsatzes geführter Ultraschallwellen für die zerstörungsfreie Prüfung und die Strukturüberwachung (structural health monitoring) ermittelt. Es wurden deutsche und internationale Firmen und Forschungseinrichtungen befragt und mehr als 400 beantwortete Fragebögen ausgewertet.
Die Umfrageergebnisse zeigen deutlich, welche Vorteile geführte Wellen bringen, aber auch welche Probleme zu bewältigen sind, um einen breiteren Einsatz der Verfahren zu ermöglichen. Aus den Ergebnissen werden Schlussfolgerungen für die weitere Ausrichtung der Forschungs- und Entwicklungsarbeiten aber auch von Aktivitäten zur Normung und zur Bewertung der Zuverlässigkeit der Prüfverfahren abgeleitet
Ultrasonic guided waves (UGW) have been shown to be suitable for non-destructive testing (NDT) and structural health monitoring (SHM) of many engineering structures. Development of a technique based on UGWs requires careful understanding obtained through modelling and analysis of wave propagation and mode-damage interaction due to their dispersion and multimodal character. This presentation will provide insights into the Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method and its applicability for tackling wave propagation problems. Features and limitations of the SBFEM will be presented on an example of a multi-layered plate structure consisting of isotropic and anisotropic materials bonded together. You will be guided through the process of picking up the wave modes for your application. Starting from the calculation of dispersion curves and mode shapes to the analysis of wave propagation and mode-damage interaction. The main highlight of the presentation lies in the ability to detect damage in a certain layer depending on the mode used. The resulting deeper understanding of the wave propagation in multi-layered structures is the key to further developments of NDT and SHM for engineering structures consisting of multiple layers.
Lamb waves are widely used for monitoring the health of structures made of laminated materials (metals, composites). Piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers transmit and receive acoustic guided waves that interact with the elastic properties and the defects of the material under test. In recent years, DINFO developed piezopolymer Interdigital Transducers (IDTs) proven to be suitable to build SHM systems for aerospace applications. Their base material is a Cr/Au-coated PVDF-TrFE copolymer sheet, having a thickness of 100μm and a
metallization of 0.1μm on both sides.
IDTs are attractive for SHM systems for their capability to select specific Lamb wave modes when designed with appropriate electrode pattern. For a reliable application, it is crucial to characterize the in-plane and out-of-plane displacement of the transducer and to correlate the ultrasonic propagating signal with the Lamb waves dispersion curves in laminates. For example, for a 2 mm aluminum plate A0 mode has dominant out-of-plane displacement, whereas S0 mode has dominant in-plane displacement at the plate's surface.
In collaboration with BAM the characterization of free vibrational modes using a 3D laser doppler vibrometer was performed. The analysis in the frequency domain was performed using the following parameters: a chirp excitation with frequencies 50-500 kHz and 0.5-1 MHz with 195 Hz and 390 Hz frequency resolution respectively at 100 Vpp for a total of 90 averaged measurements per point. Also propagating modes were characterized by bonding the IDT on a 2 mm aluminum plate and analyzing the in-plane and the out-of-plane components. A0-mode was successfully excited having the main lobe aligned with the main axis of the IDT, confirming the dominant presence of this propagating mode.
The results could be used as a basis for design and optimization of the IDTs in terms of directivity and mode selection, and to facilitate interpretation of the ultrasonic guided waves propagating in laminated structures.
Structural health monitoring (SHM) is a term that groups together techniques adopted to evaluate in a continued fashion the structural integrity and degradation of technical appliances. SHM is particularly attractive for components that are difficult to access or expensive to take off-line. Among many other techniques, SHM can be performed using ultrasonic guided waves (UGW) which have an advantage of traveling over Long distances. Various guided wave modes exist along with many methods for their generation and sensing, e.g by means of interdigital transducers (IDT). This contribution is dedicated to the design and characterization of a flexible piezopolymerbased IDT which allows for the selective excitation of UGW, resulting in more straightforward data analysis. The designed IDT was characterized using a 3D Laser Doppler Vibrometer (3D LDV) in the air to identify and analyze the IDT’s Vibration modes. Then the transducer was mounted on an aluminum plate, and the generated wavefield was measured with the 3D LDV.
According to this investigation, we demonstrate that it is possible to selectively excite desired guided wave mode, namely the A0 mode, suppressing the excitation of the S0 mode. Moreover, the measured wavefield allows for analysis of the directivity of the designed IDT. All in all the results show good correlation between theoretical predictions and measured values, thus allowing to use the current design in terms of selective excitation as it is.
