Experimental Study of Effect of Temperature Variations on the Impedance Signature of PZT Sensors for Fatigue Crack Detection

Structural health monitoring (SHM) is recognized as an efficient tool to interpret the reliability of a wide variety of infrastructures. To identify the structural abnormality by utilizing the electromechanical coupling property of piezoelectric transducers, the electromechanical impedance (EMI) approach is preferred. However, in real-time SHM applications, the monitored structure is exposed to several varying environmental and operating conditions (EOCs). The previous study has recognized the temperature variations as one of the serious EOCs that affect the optimal performance of the damage inspection process. In this framework, an experimental setup is developed in current research to identify the presence of fatigue crack in stainless steel (304) beam using EMI approach and estimate the effect of temperature variations on the electrical impedance of the piezoelectric sensors. A regular series of experiments are executed in a controlled temperature environment (25°C–160°C) using 202 V1 Constant Temperature Drying Oven Chamber (Q/TBXR20-2005). It has been observed that the dielectric constant ε₃₃^T which is recognized as the temperature-dependent constant of PZT sensor has sufficiently influenced the electrical impedance signature. Moreover, the effective frequency shift (EFS) approach is optimized in term of significant temperature compensation for the current impedance signature of PZT sensor relative to the reference signature at the extended frequency bandwidth of the developed measurement system with better outcomes as compared to the previous literature work. Hence, the current study also deals efficiently with the critical issue of the width of the frequency band for temperature compensation based on the frequency shift in SHM. The results of the experimental study demonstrate that the proposed methodology is qualified for the damage inspection in real-time monitoring applications under the temperature variations. It is capable to exclude one of the major reasons of false fault diagnosis by compensating the consequence of elevated temperature at extended frequency bandwidth in SHM.     

Optimization of Transducer Location for Novel Non-Intrusive Methodologies of Diagnosis in Diesel Engines

The health monitoring has been studied to ensure integrity of design of engine structure by detection, quantification, and prediction of damages. Early detection of faults may allow the downtime of maintenance to be rescheduled, thus preventing sudden shutdown of machines. In cylinder pressure developed, vibrations and noise emissions data provide a rich source of information about condition of engines. Monitoring of vibrations and noise emissions are novel non-intrusive methodologies for which positioning of various transducers are important issue. The presented work shows applicability of these diagnosis methodologies adopted in case of diesel engines. The effects of changing various fuel injection parameters was analyzed. Scope of using non-intrusive technique has been analyzed by changing locations of microphone. Novelty of this worklies in exploring signal processing methods for various locations around the engine test set up. Various frequency ranges of contributing noise and vibration sources were identified. Time-Frequency analysis showed the onset of various cyclic. Based on the identification of various frequency bands, it is possible to device suitable filters in order to extract more information.

基于IERT的非线性全光谱复杂水体定量分析算法研究

水是一种有限的资源,对农业、工业乃至人类的生存都是必不可少的,良好的水环境是可持续发展的重要保障。对水质信息的科学监测,是实现水资源优化配置与高效利用的基础。联合国环境署（UNEP）与世界卫生组织（WHO）指出,应当加强发展中国家的水质监测网络,包括数据质量的保证和分析能力的提高。光谱法作为一种新兴的水质分析方法,相比传统的化学水质监测方法,具有“响应速度快、多参数同步、绿色无污染”的特点。传统单波长、多波长的线性模型依赖于水体对特定波长的吸收特征,不适用于多组分混合溶液且普适性较差。因此,提出了一种基于IERT的非线性全光谱定量分析算法,建立适用于多组分混合溶液浓度预测模型,达到利用全光谱信息来预测浓度信息的目的。利用实验室配置的COD,BOD₅和TOC多组分混合溶液与NO₃-N、浊度、色度多组分混合溶液作为实验样本,使用光谱仪采集样本的光谱曲线,通过全光谱数据进行浓度预测实验,结果显示,对于COD,BOD₅和TOC多组分混合溶液,本算法对于三种组分的决定系数（R2）分别为0.999 3,0.991 4和0.999 3,均方根误差（RMSE）分别为0.024 4,0.057 7和0.000 4;对于NO₃-N、浊度、色度多组分混合溶液,决定系数（R2）分别为0.983 4,0.868 4和0.981 0,均方根误差（RMSE）分别为0.100 5,0.326 4和0.120 2。通过对比本算法与偏最小二乘（PLS）、支持向量机回归（SVR）、决策树（DT）、极端随机树（ERT）对于同一组数据的实验结果,表明：在两组多组分混合溶液的实验中,本算法对于其中各组分的决定系数（R2）均为最优,相比于其他对比算法均方根误差（RMSE）均有大幅减少。本算法可利用光谱信息对多组分混合溶液进行定量分析,在计算时间相当的情况下,可有效的提高浓度预测精度,减少定量分析的均方根误差,可为光谱法水质监测提供一种新的有效途径。     

Super-Resolved Raman Spectroscopy

In this paper we present a super-resolved Raman spectroscopy configuration where, due to the proposed resolution improvement, more chemical species can be simultaneously detected. The idea includes usage of the basic property of Raman in which shifting the excitation wavelength will shift the absolute wavelength of the Raman spectral lines. Thus, encoding the spectra prior to analysis by the spectrometer allows obtaining spectral super-resolved sensing via time multiplexing super-resolution concepts applied over the spectral domain.     

Determination of Chloride Content in Different Types of Cement Using Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

The characterization and accurate determination of the chloride content in cement/concrete is very important for the assessment of the durability and safety of a concrete structure. The available analytical techniques are relatively expensive and time consuming. In this study, a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) system was used for determination of elemental composition in three different types of cement samples. The plasma was generated by focusing a pulsed Nd: YAG laser at 1064 nm on the cement samples. The concentrations of different elements of significance for structural stability in cement samples were determined. The evaluation of the potential and the capabilities of LIBS as a rapid tool for characterization of cement samples is discussed. The optimum LIBS setup and experimental conditions to detect and measure chloride in building materials are reported. The LIBS results were compared with the results obtained using a standard analytical technique such as inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy (ICP–ES). The limits of detection were determined, and calibration curves were measured. The results of this investigation indicate the reliability of LIBS to characterize different cement samples and to assess the chloride content in these cements.     

REVIEW: High pressure NMR study of proteins – seeking roots for function,evolution, disease and food applications

NMR experiments at variable pressure reveal a wide range of conformation of a globular protein spanning from within the folded ensemble to the fully unfolded ensemble, herewith collectively called “high-energy conformers”. The observation of “high-energy conformers” in a wide variety of globular proteins has led to the “volume theorem”: the partial molar volume of a protein decreases with the decrease in its conformational order. Since “high-energy conformers” are intrinsically more reactive than the basic folded conformer, they could play decisive roles in all phenomena of proteins, namely function, environmental adaptation and misfolding. Based on the information on high-energy conformers and the rules on their partial volume in its monomeric state and amyloidosis, one may have a general view on what is happening on proteins under pressure. Moreover, one may even choose a high-energy conformer of a protein with pressure as variable for a particular purpose. Bridging “high-energy conformers” to macroscopic pressure effects could be a key to success in pressure application to biology, medicine, food technology and industry in the near future.     

Measurements of radon concentration in drinking water samples from Kastamonu (Turkey)

Concentration of ²²²Rn was determined in selected natural spring and tap water samples collected during spring and summer seasons from Kastamonu, Turkey. The aim of this work was to produce a map of the radon concentrations in water sources of the province and to determine any potential radiological risk for the local population. Radon measurements were performed by an AlphaGUARD radon gas analyser. The average radon concentrations were found to vary from 0.39±0.02 to 12.73±0.39 Bq l^?1 for natural springs and from 0.36±0.04 to 9.29±0.45 Bq l^?1 for tap water in spring, from 0.50±0.09 to 19.21±1.00 Bq l^?1 for natural springs and from 0.31±0.03 to 13.14±0.38 Bq l^?1 for tap water in summer. Furthermore, the results are compared with international recommendations and concentrations reported for other countries. Doses resulting from the consumption of these waters were calculated. The effective dose equivalents due to the intake of the ²²²Rn present in these waters are expected to range from 0.93 to 32.54 μSv y^?1 in summer and from 0.80 to 49.09 μSv y^?1 in spring.
