"INFRASTAR aims to develop knowledge, expertise and skills for optimal and reliable management of structures. The generic methodology is applied to bridges and wind turbines in relation to fatigue offering the opportunity to deal with complementary notions (such as old and new asset management, unique and similar structures, wind and traffic actions) while addressing 3 major challenges: 1/ advanced modelling of concrete fatigue behaviour, 2/new non destructive testing methods for early aged damage detection and 3/probabilistic approach of structure reliability under fatigue. Benefit of cross-experience and inter-disciplinary synergies creates new knowledge. INFRASTAR proposes innovative solutions for civil infrastructure asset management so that young scientists acquire a high employment profile in close dialogue between industry and academic partners. Modern engineering methods, including probabilistic approaches, risk and reliability assessment tools, will take into account the effective structural behaviour of existing bridges and wind turbines by exploiting monitored data. Existing methods and current state-of -the art is based on excessive conservatism which produces high costs and hinders sustainability. INFRASTAR improves knowledge for optimising the design of new structures, for more realistic verification of structural safety and more accurate prediction of future lifetime of the existing structures. That is a challenge for a sustainable development because it reduces building material and energy consumption as well as CO2 production. Within the global framework of optimal infrastructure asset management, INFRASTAR will result in a multi-disciplinary body of knowledge covering generic problems from the design stage process of the new civil infrastructures up to recycling after dismantlement. This approach and the proposed methods and tools are new and allow a step forward for innovative and effective process."
Fatigue is one of the most prevalent issues, which directly influences the service life expectancy of concrete structures. Fatigue has been investigated for years for steel structures. However, recent findings suggest that concrete structures may also be significantly subjected to fatigue phenomena that could lead to premature failure of certain structural elements. To date, fatigue of reinforced concrete has been given little focus. Knowledge on the influence factors and durability/capacity effects on this material should be improved. Current technological means to measure fatigue in civil structures like bridges and wind turbines (both onshore and offshore) are outdated, imprecise and inappropriate.
Meanwhile, this topic has got much more attention as time-variant loading on concrete structures plays an increasing role, e.g. in bridges with increasing traffic and heavier trucks, and for wind turbines for renewable energy production, e.g. for offshore wind turbine support structures affected by wind and waves.
The European Innovative Training Networks (ITN) Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project INFRASTAR (Innovation and Networking for Fatigue and Reliability Analysis of Structures - Training for Assessment of Risk) provides research training for 12 PhD students. The project aims to improve knowledge for optimizing the design of new structures as well as for more realistic verification of structural safety and more accurate prediction of the remaining fatigue lifetime of existing concrete structures.
First, the INFRASTAR research framework is detailed. Then it will be exemplified through the presentation of the major results of the four PhD students involved in the work package dealing with auscultation and monitoring. This includes the development and improvement of Fiber Optics (FO) and Coda Wave Interferometry (CWI) for crack sizing and imagery, new sensor technologies and integration, information management, monitoring strategy for fatigue damage investigation and lifetime prediction.
Thermographic NDE is based on the interaction of thermal waves with inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are related to sample geometry or material composition. Although thermography is suitable for a wide range of inhomogeneities and materials, the fundamental limitation is the diffusive nature of thermal waves and the need to measure their effect radiometrically at the sample surface only. The propagation of the thermal waves from the heat source to the inhomogeneity and to the detection surface results in a degradation in the spatial resolution of the technique. A new concerted ansatz based on a spatially structured heating and a joint sparsity of the signal ensemble allows an improved reconstruction of inhomogeneities. As a first step to establish an improved thermographic NDE method, an experimental setup was built based on structured 1D illumination using a flash lamp behind a mechanical aperture. As a follow-up to this approach, we now use direct structured illumination using a 1D laser array. The individual emitter cells are driven by a random binary pattern and additionally shifted by fractions of the cell period. The repeated measurement of these different configurations with simultaneously constant inhomogeneity allows for a reconstruction that makes use of joint sparsity. With analytical-numerical modelling or numerical FEM simulations, we study the influence of the parameters on the result of non-linear reconstruction. For example, the influence of the illumination pattern as a variable heat flux density and Neumann boundary condition for convolution with the constant Green's function can be studied. These studies can be used to derive optimal conditions for a measurement technique.
Thermal waves are solutions of the heat diffusion equation for periodic boundary conditions and can be seen analogously to strongly damped waves. Although the underlying differential equation differs from the wave equation, the essential property for analogy between both equations is linearity such that superposition applies. This linearity is maintained even after a linear transformation, such as the Fourier transform from time to frequency domain. It follows that the temporal superposition principle is already used in active thermography, e.g. in pulsed thermography, as a superposition of many individual frequencies. However, the systematic spatial superposition has not yet been fully exploited, mainly due to a lack of suitable energy sources.
As a first step, we are investigating how thermal wave fields of arbitrary space-time structures can be engineered using structured laser illumination. The proof of principle was shown using a laser coupled projector. Unfortunately, the available optical output power was limited due to the thermal stress limit of the device. That is why we are working towards a more sophisticated moving 1D array of high-power diode lasers. We characterized the novel light source and believe that apart from the benefit of spatial and temporal illumination it can combine the temporal regimes of impulse and lock-in thermography.
In a second step, we investigate moving and oscillating line sources with different line shapes. We use a Green’s Function ansatz to analytically model the thermal wave propagation of structured 1D laser illumination in isotropic materials. Furthermore, we show some methods how they can be implemented. With this technique, we were able to accelerate our detection method firstly presented in for vertical narrow defects by factor three. Generally, we believe that this technique opens up similar opportunities than in other NDE methods. High-resolution ultrasound, for example, is also based on the superposition of single emitters and a recent concept suggests an option to deal with the diffusion wave character of the thermal waves.
Die thermografische ZfP basiert auf der Wechselwirkung von thermischen Wellen mit Inhomogenitäten. Die Ausbreitung von thermischen Wellen von der Wärmequelle zur Inhomogenität und zur Detektionsoberfläche entsprechend der thermischen Diffusionsgleichung führt dazu, dass zwei eng beieinander liegende Defekte fälschlicherweise als ein Defekt im gemessenen Thermogramm erkannt werden können. Um diese räumliche Auflösungsgrenze zu durchbrechen, also eine Super Resolution zu realisieren, kann die Kombination von räumlich strukturierter Erwärmung und numerischen Verfahren des Compressed Sensings verwendet werden.
Für unsere Arbeiten benutzen wir Hochleistungs-Laser im Kilowatt-Bereich um die Probe entweder hochaufgelöst entlang einer Linie (1D) abzurastern oder strukturiert zu erwärmen. Die Verbesserung des räumlichen Auflösungsvermögens zur Defekterkennung hängt dann im klassischen Sinne direkt von der Anzahl der Messungen ab. Mithilfe des Compressed Sensings und Vorkenntnissen über das System ist es jedoch möglich die Anzahl der Messungen zu reduzieren und trotzdem Super Resolution zu erzielen. Wie viele Messungen notwendig sind und wie groß der Auflösungsgewinn gegenüber der konventionellen thermografischen Prüfung mit flächiger Erwärmung ist, hängt von einer Reihe von Messparametern, der Messstrategie, Probeneigenschaften und den verwendeten Rekonstruktionsalgorithmen ab.
Unsere Studien befassen sich mit dem Einfluss der experimentellen Parameter, wie z.B. der Pulslänge der Laserbeleuchtung und der Größe des Laserspots. Weiterhin haben wir uns mit der Wahl der Parameter in der Rekonstruktion auseinandergesetzt, die einen Einfluss auf das im Compressed Sensing zugrundeliegende Minimierungsproblem haben. Für jeden getesteten Parametersatz wurde eine Rekonstruktionsqualität berechnet. Schließlich wurden die Defektrekonstruktionen basierend auf den Parameternsätzen verglichen, sodass eine Parameterwahl für hohe Rekonstruktionsqualitäten mit thermografischer Super Resolution empfohlen werden kann.
The work to be presented focuses on our most recent studies to laser excited super resolution (SR) thermography. The goal of nondestructive testing with SR is to facilitate the separation of closely spaced defects. Photothermal SR can be realized by performing structured illumination measurements in com-bination with the use of deconvolution algorithms in post-processing. We explain that stepwise as well as continuous scanning techniques are applicable to generate structured illumination measurements. Finally, we discuss the effect of experimental parameters and image processing techniques to find the optimal SR technique which leads to the highest reconstruction quality within laser thermography.
Thermographic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) is based on the interaction of thermal waves with inhomogeneities. These inhomogeneities are related to sample geometry or material composition. Although thermography is suitable for a wide range of inhomogeneities and materials, the fundamental limitation is the diffusive nature of thermal waves and the need to measure their effect radiometrically at the sample surface only. The propagation of the thermal waves from the heat source to the inhomogeneity and to the detection surface results in a degradation in the spatial resolution of the technique. A new concerted ansatz based on a spatially structured heating and a joint sparsity of the signal ensemble allows an improved reconstruction of inhomogeneities. As a first step to establish an improved thermographic NDE method, an experimental setup was built based on structured 1D illumination using a flash lamp behind a mechanical aperture. As a follow-up to this approach, we now use direct structured illumination using a 1D laser array. The individual emitter cells are driven by a pseudo-random binary pattern and are additionally shifted by fractions of the cell period. The repeated measurement of these different configurations enables to illuminate each spot of the sample surface in lateral direction. This allows for a reconstruction that makes use of joint sparsity.
The measured data set is processed using super resolution image reconstruction algorithms such as the iterative joint sparsity (IJOSP) algorithm. Using this reconstruction technique and 150 different illumination patterns results in a spatial resolution enhancement of approximately a factor of four compared to the resolution of 5.9 mm for homogenously illuminated thermographic reconstruction.
Further, new data processing techniques have been studied before applying the IJOSP algorithm that are more performant or less prone to errors regarding image reconstruction. The choice of regularization parameters in data processing as well as experimental parameters such as the illumination pattern as a variable heat flux density (i.e., the Neumann boundary condition for convolution with the constant Green's function) have a big influence on the reconstruction goodness. With analytical-numerical modelling and numerical FEM simulations, we studied the influence of the experimental parameters on the result of the non-linear IJOSP reconstruction. This has also been investigated experimentally e.g. using different laser line widths or more measurements per position. These studies are used to derive optimal conditions for a certain measurement image reconstruction technique.

The separation of two closely spaced defects in fields of Thermographic NDE is very challenging. The diffusive nature of thermal waves leads to a fundamental limitation in spatial resolution. Therefore, super resolution image reconstruction can be used. A new concerted ansatz based on spatially structured heating and joint sparsity of the signal ensemble allows for an improved reconstruction of closely spaced defects. This new technique has been studied using a 1D laser array with randomly chosen illumination pattern.
This paper presents the results after applying super resolution algorithms, such as the iterative joint sparsity (IJOSP) algorithm, to our processed measurement data. Different data processing techniques before applying the IJOSP algorithm as well as the influence of regularization parameters in the data processing techniques are discussed. Moreover, the degradation of super resolution reconstruction goodness by the choice of experimental parameters such as laser line width or number of measurements is shown.
The application of the super resolution results in a spatial resolution enhancement of approximately a factor of four which leads to a better separation of two closely spaced defects.
The separation of two closely located defects in fields of Thermographic NDE is very challenging. The diffusive nature of thermal waves leads to a fundamental limitation in spatial resolution. Therefore, super resolution image reconstruction can be used. A new concerted ansatz based on spatially structured heating and joint sparsity of the signal ensemble allows an improved reconstruction of closely located defects. This new technique has also been studied using 1D laser arrays in active thermography.
The post-processing can be roughly described by two steps: 1. Finding a sparse basis representation using a reconstruction algorithm such as the Fourier transform, 2. Application of an iterative joint sparsity (IJOSP) method to the firstly reconstructed data. For this reason, different methods in post-processing can be compared using the same measured data set.
The focus in this work was the variation of reconstruction algorithms in step 1 and its influence on the results from step 2. More precise, the measured thermal waves can be transformed to virtual (ultrasound) waves that can be processed by applying ultrasound reconstruction algorithms and finally the super resolution algorithm. Otherwise, it is also possible to make use of a Fourier transform with a subsequent super resolution routine. These super resolution thermographic image reconstruction techniques in post-processing are discussed and evaluated regarding performance, accuracy and repeatability.
