Zirconium vanadate (ZrV2O7) is a well-known negative thermal expansion (NTE) material that exhibits significant isotropic contraction over a broad temperature range (~150°C < T < 800°C). Therefore, it can be used to create composites with controllable expansion coefficients and prevent thermal stress, fatigue, cracking, and deformation at interfaces. We implement interdisciplinary research to analyze such material. We study the influence of the synthesis methods and their parameters on the sample's purity, crystallinity, and homogeneity. Moreover, we implement ab initio-based vibrational computations with partially treated anharmonicity in combination with experimental methods to follow temperature-induced structural changes and rationalize the negative thermal expansion in this material, including the influence of the local structure disorder.
Rotorblätter von Windenergieanlagen (WEA) weisen häufig nach wenigen Jahren, lange vor dem Erreichen der prognostizierten Lebensdauer von 20 bis 30 Jahren Risse in der Blattschale auf. Die Folge sind aufwendige Reparaturen am installierten und schwer zugänglichen Rotorblatt und der kostenintensive Nutzungsausfall durch den Stillstand der WEA.
Als mögliche Initiatoren für die Schäden in der Blattschale der Rotorblätter gelten fertigungsbedingte Imperfektionen. Für die Untersuchung des Einflusses dieser Imperfektionen auf das Ermüdungsverhalten der Rotorblätter wurde an der BAM (Bundesanstalt für Mate-rialforschung und -prüfung) ein Prüfstand für statische und zyklische Versuche von Schalensegmenten im intermediate scale entwickelt und betrieben. Die untersuchten Schalensegmente in Sandwichbauweise sind der Rotorblattschale von WEA im Hinblick auf die Strukturmechanik, die eingesetzten Halbzeuge, den Laminataufbau und dem eingesetzten Fertigungsverfahren ähnlich. Als Imperfektionen wurden verschiedenen Variationen von Lagenstößen in die Hautlagen und Schaumstöße mit Breitenvariation in den Stützkern reproduzierbar eingebracht. Die Überwachung des Schädigungszustandes während der Schwingversuche unter realistischen Lastszenarien erfolgt über eine kombinierte in situ Schädigungsüberwachung mittels passiver Thermografie und Felddehnungsmessung.
Mit den durchgeführten Schwingversuchen und der begleitenden Überwachung des Schädigungszustandes ließen sich die Schadensinitiation und die signifikante Herabsetzung der Lebensdauer durch die eingebrachten Imperfektionen zweifelsfrei nachweisen und entsprechende Konstruktionshinweise für die betriebssichere Auslegung von Sandwichstrukturen ableiten.
The creep strengthening mechanisms in (age-hardenable) aluminum alloys are analyzed on the basis of a new microstructural study of powder samples, an analysis of a comprehensive revision of creep data from the literature, and a new modeling approach. A strategy based on the strength difference (SD) method to separate the contributions of solid solution atoms and precipitates to creep strengthening is proposed. The new methodology considers the combination of the two contributions avoiding the need of a threshold stress term in the creep equation. The contribution of both precipitates and solid solution is taken into account by means of the analysis of the lattice parameter variation with aging time. For this study, powders of two commercial AA2xxx alloys have been analyzed using diffraction methods. The experimental results are modeled using Lubarda’s approach combined with the SD method.
The combination of tomographic, microstructural data with other experimental techniques and with modeling is paramount, if we want to extract the maximum amount of information on material and component properties. In particular, quantitative image analysis, statistical approaches, direct discretization of tomographic reconstructions represent concrete possibilities to extend the power of the tomographic 3D representation to insights into the material and component performance. This logic thread equally holds for industrial and academic research and valorizes expensive experiments such as those carried out at synchrotron sources, which cannot be daily repeated.
I will show a few examples of possible use of X-ray tomographic data for quantitative assessment of damage evolution and microstructural properties, as well as for non-destructive testing. Examples of micro-structured inhomogeneous materials will be given, such as Composites, Ceramics, Concrete, and Additively manufactured parts. I will also show how X-ray refraction computed tomography (CT) can be highly complementary to classic absorption CT, being sensitive to internal interfaces.
Additionally, I will show how Neutron Diffraction, which is extremely well suited to the study of internal stresses, both residual and under external load, can well be coupled to the microstructural framework gained by CT, allowing understanding the microstructure-property relationships in materials.
Finally, I will show that BAM is very active in standardization and certification, including production of Reference Materials and Methods.

Microstructure characterisation of advanced materials via 2D and 3D X-ray refraction techniques
(2018)
3D imaging techniques have an enormous potential to understand the microstructure, its evolution, and its link to mechanical, thermal, and transport properties. In this conference paper we report the use of a powerful, yet not so wide-spread, set of X-ray techniques based on refraction effects. X-ray refraction allows determining internal specific surface (surface per unit volume) in a non-destructive fashion, position and orientation sensitive, and with a nanometric detectability. We demonstrate showcases of ceramics and composite materials, where microstructural parameters could be achieved in a way unrivalled even by high-resolution techniques such as electron microscopy or computed tomography. We present in situ analysis of the damage evolution in an Al/Al2O3 metal matrix composite during tensile load and the identification of void formation (different kinds of defects, particularly unsintered powder hidden in pores, and small inhomogeneity’s like cracks) in Ti64 parts produced by selective laser melting using synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography and tomography.
The Scaled Boundary Finite Element Method (SBFEM) is a semi-analytical method that shows promising results in modelling of guided ultrasonic waves. Efficiency and low computational cost of the method are achieved by a discretisation of the boundary of a computational domain only, whereas for the domain itself the analytical solution is used. By means of the SBFEM different types of defects, e.g. cracks, pores, delamination, corrosion, integrated into a structure consisting of anisotropic and isotropic materials can be modelled.
In this contribution, the SBFEM is used to analyse the propagation of guided waves in a structure consisting of an isotropic metal bonded to anisotropic carbon fibre reinforced material. The method allows appropriate wave types (modes) to be identified and to analyse their interaction with different defects. Results obtained are used to develop a structural health monitoring system for composite pressure vessels used in automotive and aerospace industries.
