An interlaboratory study, involving eigth international laboratories and coordinated by COMTES FHT (Czech Republic), was conducted to validate tensile measurements obtained using miniature specimens on additively manufactured (AM) components and artifacts. In addition to AM 316L stainless steel (316L SS), a wrought highstrength steel (34CrNiMo6V, equivalent to AISI 4340) was also used. Based on the results, a precision statement in accordance with ASTM E691 standard practice was developed, intended for inclusion in a proposed annex to the ASTM E8/E8M tension testing method. The primary outcomes of the study highlighted the agreement between yield and tensile strength measured from miniature and standard-sized tensile specimens. Furthermore, most tensile properties exhibited similar standard deviations, offering users insight into the efficacy of miniature specimen applications.
The increased use of fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for improved efficiency and reliability in energy related applications, e.g. wind and marine turbine blades, nacelles, oil and gas flexible risers, also increases the demand for innovative non-destructive testing technologies. In this contribution, results concerning the characterisation of CFRP and GFRP during and after quasi-static tensile loading are presented. It includes the measurement of optical properties in the infrared spectral range, tensile loading tests with the observation of the temperature distribution at one or both sides of the specimens using an infrared camera for the preparation and monitoring of intended natural defects, and active thermography inspections after tensile loading. It is shown that the defect preparation was successful. Thermographic monitoring during and active thermography testing after tensile loading enable the detection of the lateral extend of the generated defects. Differences between CFRP and GFRP materials are discussed.
The increased use of fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) composites for improved efficiency and reliability in energy related applications e.g. wind and marine turbine blades, nacelles, oil and gas flexible risers, also increases the demand for innovative non-destructive testing technologies. Thus, in order to achieve increased acceptance of suited and optimized non-destructive testing (NDT) methods in industry, the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) project ENG57 Validated Inspection Techniques for Composites in Energy Applications (VITCEA) deals with the development and validation of innovative NDT technologies. In this contribution, results concerning thermographic investigations at test specimens during tensile loading and active thermography testing after tensile loading are presented. Additionally, the determination of the optical properties (relative transmittance and directional spectral emissivity) of CFRP and GFRP test specimens is described.
Amongst various other NDT methods, within the EMRP-project
‘VITCEA’ active thermography is validated for testing of CFRP and
GFRP structures constructed for energy application. In this
contribution, the optical and thermal properties of CFRP and GFRP
reference defect artefact (RDA) and natural defects artefact (NDA)
test specimens are characterized. Different excitation techniques
and techniques for data analysis are compared for optimizing the
number of detected defects.
