一种监测钢筋腐蚀的光纤光栅传感器的研究

钢筋腐蚀是导致钢筋混凝土结构耐久性劣化的最重要因素之一。钢筋腐蚀将导致钢筋体积大大增加,混凝土保护层开裂、剥落,结构承载力下降,甚至倒塌。基于光纤布拉格光栅应变传感器的原理,根据钢筋腐蚀体积膨胀,提出了一种新的钢筋腐蚀光纤光栅传感器及温度补偿方法。传感器构造是在两根紧靠的钢筋中心附近粘贴光纤光栅,由于钢筋腐蚀体积膨胀,钢筋直径增加将转变成布拉格光纤光栅的应变,从而实现对钢筋腐蚀程度及速率的监测。传感器的监测原理是设置一个钢筋腐蚀光纤光栅传感器来监测由于钢筋腐蚀和温度变化引起的光栅应变,同时单独设置一个不锈钢光纤光栅传感器来测量温度引起的光栅应变。这两个光纤光栅传感器的应变监测,可分离出钢筋由于腐蚀所引起的体积变化。在混凝土结构中埋入封装的传感器,通过监测光纤光栅波长的漂移可以直接测量钢筋腐蚀程度,而且不受腐蚀因素的影响,可用于混凝土结构中钢筋腐蚀的早期监测。最后通过实验标定了钢筋腐蚀率与光栅波长位移的关系。     

In situ 2-D piezoelectric wafer active sensors arrays for guided wave damage detection

This paper presented development work of an in situ method for damage detection in thin-wall structures using embedded two-dimensional ultrasonic phased arrays. Piezoelectric wafer active sensors were used to generate and receive guided Lamb waves propagating in the plate-like structure. The development of a generic beamforming algorithm that does not require parallel ray assumption through using full wave propagation paths is described. A virtual beam steering method and device, the embedded ultrasonic structural radar, was implemented as a signal post-processing procedure. Several two-dimensional configurations were investigated and compared with beamforming simulation. Finally, rectangular shape arrays were developed for verifying the generic formulas and omnidirectionality. The rectangular arrays yield good directionality within the 360° full range and are able to detect damage anywhere in the entire plate.

Vibration-based damage detection and evaluation of sheet materials using a remote acoustic excitation

A simple method of damage severity assessment on sheet materials is suggested and proved by theory and experiment. The investigated defect types are in forms of added mass and crack. The method is based on the frequency shift measurement of a material vibrating as a membrane subjected to static tension and irradiated by an acoustic wave. It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that the natural frequency of the damaged membrane is shifted relative to its position in the ideal material. A local increase in thickness (or addition of mass) shifts the natural frequency down, while a crack shifts the frequency up. The method can be considered as acoustic weighting through the frequency shift. The sensitivity of this method can be high because frequency measurement is one of the most accurate measurements in physics and metrology.

Photothermoacoustic effect in solids with piezoelectric detection

The photothermoacoustic effect in solids with piezoelectric signal detection is investigated theoretically and experimentally. Analytical expressions are found for the amplitude and phase shift of the photothermoacoustic signal as a function of the thicknesses of the sample and piezoelectric transducer, the modulation frequency, and the material constants of the structure. A method is proposed for detecting the signal using a compound piezoelectric transducer. It is shown for a bilayer piezoelectric transducer that the reduced Young’s modulus and the thermal diffusion coefficient of the experimental object can be found from the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency curves.

A theoretical analysis of a piezoelectric ultrasound device with an active matching layer

This paper investigates the use of magnetically active materials in the matching layer of a piezoelectric transducer. This then allows the performance of the device to be dynamically altered by applying an external field. The effect that this new matching layer has on the performance of a typical device is theoretically investigated here. It transpires that the additional flexibility of an active matching layer can be used to maintain the efficiency of the device as the external load is varied.

Subfemtomole detection of small molecules with microsphere sensors

We investigated the feasibility of using a silica microsphere sensor for detection of small molecules. Using the silica molecules (60 Da) at the sphere's surface as a model system, we measured the spectral shifts in the whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) when the sphere size was decreased by a hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution. The results demonstrate that our sensor is capable of detecting a 4 pm (or 0.01 layer of silica) decrease in sphere radius, corresponding to a change of 0.4 fmol silica molecule. These results suggest that small molecules can be detected in trace quantities at the surface of an optical microsphere sensor.     

Ultrasonic imaging of sheet metal forming

With sheet metal hydroforming, a sheet metal is formed by a liquid medium under high pressure (up to 1000 bar) and a cavity contour (die). As the exact state of forming is of interest, an ultrasonic imaging system is under development. The task is to determine the geometry of a sheet metal contour with respect to the original (before forming) and the final (die) state of the sheet metal. For this purpose, two different contour reconstruction algorithms were designed, tested and compared. With the reconstruction results it will be possible to determine the optimal distribution of transmitters and receivers in the ultrasonic transducer matrix. Experiments were conducted with one pair of transducers (unfocussed, center frequency 2 MHz) and a three axis stepper motor set-up. For each experimental set of data, the contour was reconstructed with both SAFT reconstruction algorithms. Both algorithms incorporate a priori information such as original and final contour and maximal axial dislocation of the sheet metal. The results for both algorithms are compared and the relative mean error in axial direction is 0.30% and 0.48%.     

Parametric resonance of plates in a sheet metal coating process

The vibration of sheet metal during zinc coating processes can lead to non-uniform coating thickness and overall poor product quality. This vibration develops from two principal mechanisms, namely, the run-out associated with the supporting rollers and/or bearings, and the time-varying tension associated with the manufacturing process. This study focuses on the second of these mechanisms (time-varying tension) that becomes significant under conditions leading to parametric resonance. The parametric resonance of the sheet metal is captured in a proposed model of a plate subject to time-varying and non-uniform edge tension. The model accounts for these effects as well as the non-linear stretching of the plate mid-plane as a result of transverse plate vibration. The linear vibration characteristics of the plate are studied first and are then used in deriving a single mode approximation of the non-linear, parametrically excited plate model. A perturbation solution of this model reveals the major parameters that influence parametric resonance in this application. Theoretical results for plate vibration are compared to experimental measurements of sheet metal vibration in a production facility. This comparison demonstrates that the model accurately captures the physical mechanisms responsible for sheet metal vibration and therefore, the physical parameters (such as damping) have the greatest impact on this vibration.     

Automatic detection of impact damage in carbon fiber composites using active thermography

Accidental impacts can severely reduce the structural strength and stability of composite materials, which can lead to severe consequences due to the degradation of the mechanical properties of components designed to perform for decades. Because accidental impacts are difficult to avoid, robust and reliable inspection methods to detect impact damage are required. Many methods have been proposed recently. However, most of them require an experienced technician to analyze the data, which leads to a significant decrease in manufacturing productivity. This work proposes a method to automatically detect impact damage in carbon fiber composites using active thermography. The proposed system detects defects caused by impact damage in the infrared images without human intervention. Impact damage detection is performed using a robust method based on an active thermographic inspection. Thermographic data is preprocessed to improve signal-to-noise ratio and to remove non-uniform background caused by non-uniform heating. Then, peaks and edges are identified and clustered, and regions corresponding to impact damage are detected. The proposed procedure has been applied to three specimens that contain 6 and 12 plies, different types of cores, and damage caused by energies from 6 J to 50 J. All defects are detected correctly.
