Full textInfrared thermography (IRT) is a non-contacting, non-destructive testing (NDT) technique that provides relatively fast results from inspections; for example, in the detection of defects in engineering components and in systems' condition monitoring. This study examines the use and possible effectiveness of infrared thermography for the detection of faults and defects in just a few aspects that one encounters in the vast mechanical maintenance arena. The study discusses three aspects of infrared thermography, namely internal leaks inspections using passive infrared thermography, pulse thermography and induction thermography both active IRT NDT techniques for the detection of subsurface and surface defects. The promising results that were obtained by performing an experiment in the laboratory using a model fluid handling pipe network, with three isolation valves connected in parallel, encouraged performing inspections in an operating power plant, where it was suspected that there were leaks from safety and drain isolation valves. In both situations, the results were obtained in a short period of time and indicated that passive infrared thermography can detect internal leaks in pipe networks. Pulsed thermography is an active non-contacting non-destructive testing technique used to detect subsurface defects in monolithic materials and delamination's in composites. In the particular experiment that was performed pulse thermography was benchmarked with the conventional technique of ultrasound testing. PVC, stainless steel and mild steel specimens manufactured with flat bottom holes (as models of subsurface defects) were subjected to pulse thermography. The time duration to detect the presence of a defect represented by a temperature contrast or a hot spot on the specimen's surface was approximately a couple of seconds following the thermal excitation. No further characterization of the defect was possible with the technique. In contrast when using the ultrasound testing technique to test the specimens, it took considerable time to detect the defects, however, data in terms of size and depth beneath the surface became available thus enabling their full characterization.

Full texts ratio and strength of these mixtures were observed for different ages. The relationships between these elastic properties are determined and the results obtained from two different nondestructive test methods are compared. Although nondestructive tests made it possible to obtain elastic properties of mortar mixtures, the results revealed that it is very difficult to develop a single relationship between different elastic properties of mortars with varying mixture proportions. This situation is mainly due to the anisotropy and nonlinear behavior of the mortar and the difficulty of describing the actual behavior of mortar by formulations defined for perfectly elastic materials.

Full textIn the current work, we investigate the nondestructive evaluation of a thermal sprayed coating (Hastelloy C22 Ni-based alloy) on substrate (type 304 austenitic stainless steel) using acoustic microscopy and ECT method. Two models were built for the evaluation of this kind of material: one is for acoustic V(z) measurement and the other is for swept eddy current measurement. The implementation of these two models is used for the evaluation and properties measurement of the thermal sprayed coatings, such as elastic properties, electromagnetic properties. In particular, the main achievements and results are as follows: 1. Acoustic wave propagation in an anisotropic multilayered medium was investigated. The formula for calculating the reflection and transmission coefficients of the multilayered medium on or without a substrate were derived, which is necessary for the modeling of acoustic V(z) measurement of the thermal sprayed coating on substrate. 2. A model was built for the acoustic V(z) measurement of the thermal sprayed coatings on substrate, which can deal with anisotropic multilayered media. Specifically, we used a model of multilayered coatings with graded properties on substrate to calculate the acoustic reflection coefficient of our sample. Treating the thermal sprayed coating, deposited on a 304 steel substrate, as FGMs, we evaluated the coating thickness and the Young’s modulus evolution along the depth of the coating. 3. A model was built for the swept eddy current measurement of the thermal sprayed coatings. Since before the spraying process, the surface of the substrate is usually shot-peened (SP), the coated material is considered as a three-layer medium. The coating thickness and electromagnetic properties of each of the 3 layers were determined by an effective reverse process. 4. The thermal sprayed coated material after exposure in different conditions, i.e., as-received, heat-treated in air and heat-treated in SO2 environment, and after different exposure time was evaluated by the integrity of acoustic microscopy and ECT method. The coating thickness and the electromagnetic properties of the coated material under different conditions were measured

Full textThe reliability of a Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT& E) technique is one of the most important aspects of the overall industrial inspection procedure. The Probability of Detection (PoD) curve is the accepted quantitative measure of the NDT& E reliability, which is usually expressed as a function of flaw size. Every reliability experiment of the NDT& E system must be well designed to obtain a valid source data set, including the infrared thermography (IRT) technique. The range of defect aspect ratio (Dimension / depth) values is designed according to our experimental experiences to make sure it is from non-detectable to minimum detectable aspect ratio and larger. A preliminary test will be implemented to choose the best inspection parameters, such as heating energy, the acquisition time and frequency. In the data and image processing procedure, several important parameters which influence the results obtained are also described. For active IRT, there are different heating sources (optical or ultrasound), heating forms (pulsed or lock-in) and also data processing methods. Distinct heating and data processing manipulations produce different inspection results. In this research, both optical Pulsed Thermography (PT) and Lock-in Thermography (LT) techniques will be involved in the PoD analysis. For PT, PoD curves of different data processing methods are compared, including Fourier Transform (FT), 1st Derivative (1st D) after Thermal Signal Reconstruction (TSR), Wavelet Transform (WT), Differential Absolute Contrast (DAC), and Principal Component Thermography (PCT). Systematic studies on PoD analysis for IRT technique are carried out. Additionally, constructed PoD curves of IRT technique are compared with those obtained by other traditional NDT& E approaches.

Full textOver the last 30 years, repairing and strengthening techniques of concrete structures using externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites have gained much popularity and are now widespread. The effectiveness of the strengthening systems highly depends on the level of adhesion between the composite material and the concrete surface. Therefore, on-site evaluation of the bond quality is crucial to assess the performance and predict the durability of the reinforcement system.It is proposed to determine the bond properties of the adhesive layer within the reinforcement system by using a nondestructive test (NDT) method derived from the standard and well-known pull-off test. This method consists in analyzing the linear load vs displacement behavior of the adhesive joint, in order to determine an assembly stiffness which can be related to the Young’s modulus of the adhesive layer.In order to investigate the feasibility of the test method, a laboratory implementation is carried out on a mechanical device fully designed for the purpose of the present study. Suitable displacement sensors and an appropriate measurement chain are chosen based on a finite element modeling and a mechanical analysis of the test. A partial analytical form of the assembly stiffness is also expressed.The test method is then applied to concrete slabs reinforced with CFRP plates using three different epoxy adhesives. A statistical assessment of all identified parameters of influence sheds light on the results. In the end, the performances of the test performed in laboratory conditions are discussed.Finally, foundations for a relevant test methodology on real field conditions are laid, and the above-mentioned performances are reviewed

Full textThe enthusiasm for structural bonding is important in aeronautic. Currently there is no method to test non-destructively the adhesion in a bonded assembly. The usual NDT methods can detect the most common defects like delamination or disbond. The aim of this thesis is to determine an ultrasonic indicator related to the level of adhesion and the structural strength of bonded assemblies.The first step was the development of calibrated samples. The specimens are single lap shear joints. Three different surface treatments have been developed to obtain three different levels of ultimate tensile strength and therefore three distinct levels of adhesion. Detailed cartographies of the adhesive joint are obtained by ultrasound. After mechanical testing the fracture surfaces are analyzed. Additional tests by microtomography were performed. They were used to validate the quality of samples. The objective of standards sample is achieved. A specific control system has been achieved to use acoustoelasticty to study the stress field in the bonded assembly. The variations of time of flight in the aluminum part in pulse-echo mode during mechanical test are analysed. First, the method is validated with an aluminum test piece. Then, it is shown, for a sample with defect, the edges of a defect are visible through the increase of stresses on its borders. Numerical simulations give the same trends

Full textMany studies in the field of both nondestructive evaluation and testing of mechanical structures have been conducted so far by analyzing the contribution of the microwaves induce acoustic technique. This new non-contact technique can be easily adopted to generate acoustic waves in non-conducting materials. This work begins with studying the lateral vibrations generated within viscoelastic bars hold inside grooved electromagnetic waveguides and subjected to short microwave irradiations. A parametrical model is established in order to predict the shape of the temperature rise within the sample. Results emphasize the fact that these types of waveguides generate a sudden asymmetric temperature rise, which produces some flexural modes. Besides, the development of a 3D numerical model allow the prediction of new vibration modes which are related to the deformations of the bar cross-sections during the sudden thermal heating. Then, direct methods are developed to complete the assessment of the viscoelastic properties of bars placed inside conventional electromagnetic waveguides. Different analytical models are proposed to study the effects of the Poisson ratio either on the ratio between lateral and longitudinal vibrations or on the dispersion of longitudinal waves. An optimization algorithm that allows the Poisson ratio and the real part of the complex slowness evaluation by means of dispersion curves is elaborate before being applied in the specific case of two polymeric bars. Finally, analytical and numerical finite element methods are conducted to analyze the acoustic waves generated by a circular defect (hole) contained in a plate and heated locally by microwaves. Two acoustic approaches are performed to predict the temperature rise form. Furthermore, a nondestructive testing method is highlighted by a direct relationship between the size of the defect and the frequencies of some peaks that appear on the velocity spectra of the plate. This method could be applied to set up an inverse procedure that can be used to size these kinds of defects

Full textThe research activity of the PhD thesis focuses on the study and development of innovative strategies for the solution of inverse problems arising in the field of Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT-NDE), based on the use of statistical learning theory. Generally speaking, the objective of the optimization stage is the retrieval of the unknown parameters within the studied electromagnetic scenario. In the case of NDT-NDE, the optimization problem, in terms of parameters to estimate, is divided into three stages, namely detection, localization and characterization. This work mainly addresses localization and characterization of crack(s) and/or estimation of probe(s) parameters. Unknown parameters, constituting a subset of the parameters set describing the electromagnetic scenario, are robustly estimated using several approaches. Standard optimization approaches are based on the minimization, by means of iterative approaches like stochastic and/or deterministic algorithms, of a cost function describing the discrepancy between measurements and prediction. This thesis considers the estimation problem in a machine learning perspective, adopting well known Learning-By-Example (LBE) paradigm. In a so-called offline phase, a surrogate inverse model is first fitted on a set of known input/output couples, generated through numerical simulations. Then, in a so-called online phase, the model predicts unknown outputs (the parameters of interest) based on new inputs (measured NDT signals) in quasi-real time. When considering practical inspection situations, due to the large number of variables involved (known as curse of dimensionality), obtaining an accurate and robust model is not a trivial task. This thesis carries out a deep and systematic study of different strategies and solutions to achieve simultaneously good accuracy and computational time efficiency in the parameters estimation. Moreover, a particular emphasis is put on the different approaches adopted for mitigating the curse of dimensionality issue. The proposed LBE schema has been tested with success on a wide set of practical problems, using both synthetic noisy data and experimental measurements
Liu, Zicheng. "Electromagnetic modeling and imaging of damages of fiber-reinforced composite laminates." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017SACLS332.
Full textMy PhD work is about electromagnetic modeling and imaging of disorganized periodic structures. A certain pattern in an elementary subdivision (a “cell”) is repeated in the other cells of the structure into certain directions of space. This repetition is disorganized by a change of material properties and/or geometries of the constitutive parts, within one or more cells. At first level of modeling, these panels are a succession of planar plates one over the other. Each consists of a regular linear arrangement of long cylinders with same finite circular sections, all orientated into the same direction: we call them “fibers”, each cylinder resulting from the assumption of a bundle of small-size fibers. The constitutive material of the fibers differs from the embedding material (matrix) that they reinforce. Each plate is made of fibers with different axes for sturdiness. There are few or many plates, with repetition of a small stack of plates. For conductive panels (carbon-based), imaging is MHz; for lossless or weakly lossy panels (glass based), imaging is microwave (a few tens GHz, possibly more). There might be missing/displaced cylinders inside a plate, with consequent changes in possibly several cells, adjacent or not. Local damages might occur also, leading to changes in shape or electromagnetic properties of one or more cylinders in one or more cells in one or more plates. Randomness in distribution of the inclusions might account for uncertainties of positioning with respect to assumed geometries. Properly illuminating the structures and collecting the resulting fields (in the near-field hopefully, possibly in the far-field) should allow their imaging and concur to their diagnostics. So, a periodic structure under interrogation is disorganized. One wishes to successfully image the structure while taking care at best of prior information on periodicity and disorganization, on sensing systems, and obviously of needs and limitations of the testing.

Yan, Guqi. "Zero-group-velocity Lamb modes in laser ultrasonics : fatigue monitoring and material characterization." Thesis, Le Mans, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018LEMA1026/document.
Full textIn recent years, zero-group-velocity (ZGV) Lamb modes have proven to be an efficient tool to probe locally and very accurately the thickness of a sample or the mechanical properties of either isotropic or anisotropic materials. This particular type of guided waves, corresponding to sharp local resonances of the structure, results of the interference of two Lamb waves having opposite phase velocity and coexisting at a couple given frequency-wavenumber. The laser ultrasonic technique has demonstrated its ability to efficiently generate and detect such local resonances within the MHz frequency range. Indeed, the all-optical setup, consisting of a pulsed laser source to generate elastic waves and of an interferometer to probe the associated normal displacement, avoids any contact with the sample, hence limiting the broadening or suppression of the resonances. Yet, the use of ZGV Lamb modes to monitor material fatigue and to probe nonlinear phenomena remains challenging and is the core of the here-reported research. The theoretical part of this PhD research deals with the understanding of the effect of mechanical fatigue on ZGV Lamb modes through the frequency-wavenumber analyzes of the Lamb waves. The experimental part of the PhD research is dedicated to the application of this technique for the nondestructive characterization and for the monitoring of mechanical and thermal fatigue of thin metal plates. Zero-group-velocity Lamb modes in laser ultrasonics shows great promises to locate fatigue damage, to predict the fatigue lifetime, and to qualitatively, and even quantitatively, assess the different stages of fatigue damage in m- to potentially cm-thick solid plates

Full textNon Destructive Testing (NDT) with Eddy Current (EC) techniques are is widely employed in several industrial sectors for cracks detection. Numerical simulation tools are largely used in order to design sensors, understand the signals collected during the measurements process and to provide a support in expertise. This work has been accomplished inside CEA LIST in collaboration with L2S-Supélec. It is also a part of the CIVAMONT 2012 project, with the active participation of MEANDER laboratory members from University of Western Macedonia (Greece) and Technological Educational Institute of Western Macedonia (Greece). The main goal of our work has consisted in to developing a semi-analytical modeling approach, devoted to Eddy Current Testing (ECT) of multiple narrow cracks in planar multilayered structures. From the numerical point of view, simulation of multiple narrow cracks problems is a difficult task for classical methods, like for example the Volume Integral Method (VIM) or the Finite Element Method (FEM). The main issues reside in geometrical characteristics of narrow crack themselves. Indeed, a narrow crack presents a small opening as well as complex profile and a complex shape, with possible electrical contacts inside it. All these features increase enormously, with classical methods, the difficulty to simulate in rapid and/or precise way problems involving narrow cracks. We have tackled the narrow crack issue by developing a Boundary Element Method (BEM) dedicated to ECT signal modeling, starting from an approach presented in literature. Then, we have extended its capability to more realistic and challenging cases, such as the ECT of multilayered structures affected by complex narrow cracks. The principle of this method is to introduce additional assumptions, leading to the description of the crack perturbation as the effect of a dipole distribution, oriented toward the crack opening. Numerically speaking, such a description makes it possible to largely reduce, compared to the VIM, the number of unknowns that one needs to properly solve the problem. A particular attention has been devoted to the analytical formulation, in order to achieve generality, accuracy and efficiency. A precise derivation of the spectral-domain Dyadic Green Function (DGF) associated to our problem has first been developed. In this work, analytical expressions of the spectral-domain DGF have been obtained via the Discrete Complex Image Method (DCIM). Then, an accurate approximation of the spectral-domain DGF has been achieved via the Generalized Pencil of Function (GPOF) method. Therefore, the closed-form of the spectral-domain DGF, expressed under the form of Sommerfeld Integrals (SIs), has been calculated analytically. Finally, the integral equation(s) associate to the electromagnetic problem is solved by applying the Method of Moments (MoM).Validations with respect to experiments and commercial simulation software have been performed to test the model. A large set of configurations have been chosen in order to address realistic configurations involving multiple narrow cracks embedded in different layers of a given multilayered structure. The model proposed has shown its promising performance in terms of computational time compared with the VIM and the FEM. Moreover, a very good agreement with respect to the experimental data has always been observed. In the last and very recent part of our work, a coupled approach between BEM and VIM has been studied and developed in order to address, in a efficient way, problems where narrow cracks appear in the vicinity of with volumetric flaws (for example the simulation of fastener sites inspections). Comparisons with experimental measures have shown that the coupled approach is capable to achieve, overall, better results than the VIM and saves a lot of computational time

Full textThe capability to detect micro-defects or buried flaws in the metallic parts is an important issue for the aerospace or nuclear industry. The technique of nondestructive testing (NDT) by eddy current is widely used for these applications. This thesis is part of collaboration project aimed at the realization and integration of magnetic field microsensors based on the magneto-impedance (MI) effect for the NDT detection systems. These multilayered structure microsensors (ferromagnetic/conductor/ferromagnetic) were realized in the clean room by thin film deposition method. A post-annealing step with magnetic field was then used to optimize the material properties and to induce magnetic anisotropy in the ferromagnetic layers. A method based on the double amplitude demodulation was proposed for the dynamic characterization of the sensors. The important parameters such as the geometry, the anisotropy and the driven frequency were studied in order to optimize the characteristics. The results showed that a bias field is necessary for the application. Therefore, we have investigated the possibility to realize, through thick micromoulding technique, a 3D microsolenoid and preliminary work on integrating a sensor in the microsolenoid by film transfer has been carried out. Finally, a theoretical study was investigated by taking into account the results obtained experimentally. For this purpose, the model of Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) has been implemented in an electromagnetic finite element calculation program in order to determine the impedance of the sensor as a function of the applied magnetic field

Full textThis research work deals with ultrasound imaging with transducer arrays for Non Destructive Testing (NDT), and aims at speeding up the formation of 2D and 3D images. The methods studied in this manuscript are inspired from reconstruction algorithms in the Fourier frequency-wavenumber (f-k) domain introduced in seismic imaging in the 70’s. The literature shows that f-k methods offer a numerical advantage over the more conventional time-domain focusing algorithms. On the other hand, the rise of transducer arrays has allowed for the exploration of new emission modes, such as plane wave emissions in ultra-fast medical imaging. In this thesis, we propose to combine fast f-k algorithms with plane wave emissions to form 2D and 3D images as fast as possible. These algorithms are adapted to deal with realistic NDT inspection configurations. Analyses of algorithmic complexities, computation times, and image qualities are carried out in 2D, and a comparison with the time-domain Plane Wave Imaging (PWI) shows a clear advantage for f-k methods. This is confirmed in 3D, where we show that Fourier domain algorithms improve image quality while reducing computation times by a factor up to 300 compared to PWI. Finally, the f-k methods are generalized to multi-modal imaging to characterize cracks. The theory, which accounts for mode conversions and reflections at the specimen interfaces, is first presented, and we then demonstrate that it is possible to improve the reconstruction quality thanks to spectral windowing in the image frequency-domain. This spectral filter cancels undesired artifacts caused by interface echoes, and improves the image contrast

Full textThis Thesis presents an automated system to the inspection of materials using ultrasounds to the detection of heterogeneities in metallic pieces, in particular, carbon steel S275JR. For that, it used linear guides that have been automated with stepper motors, whose movements are controlled from the computer using a graphic application designed specifically to this research. When defects are detected, it allows the later classification of defects according to their morphology, size and position with programs that use algorithms based on Pattern Recognition. After execution of the programs, results reports provide an optimal estimation of expected data.

Full textThis PhD thesis work contributes to the development of nonlinear elastic methods for non-destructive testing and imaging of contact-type defects in solids.In this work, two modifications of recent nonlinear nondestructive testing methods are suggested: the coda wave interferometry combined with the nonlinear time reversal principle and air-coupled nonlinear ultrasonic imaging. The principal advantage of former technique is in its extremely high sensitivity owing to the fact that weak changes in sample's parameters are accumulated and finally greatly amplified during the formation of the coda wave. The other technique has a complimentary strength and offers a possibility of a remote detection. The developed techniques are tested on samples with artificially fabricated defects at known locations. The performance of each method is accessed and the potential for obtaining robust nonlinear images is demonstrated.The second part of the work is concerned with a theoretical description of contact acoustical nonlinearity and its use for creating of a numerical toolbox capable of simulating wave propagation in complex structures containing internal contacts. A physical model describing the tangential shift of two contacting bodies in the presence of friction has been proposed. Its result is an analytical computer-assisted solution for hysteretic relationships between normal and tangential contact displacements and loads. The contact model and derived load-displacement relationships are used as boundary conditions posed at the internal boundaries (contact surfaces) in a finite element wave propagation model programmed via commercial software

Full textThe aim of this work is to develop and study yttria stabilised zirconia (ZrO2 + 9.8at% Y2O3, YSZ) based thermal barrier coating (TBC) « sensor » systems deposited by a dip coating sol-gel process, and dedicated to temperature measurement and to the monitoring of damaging occuring within the thickness of the coatings, using fluorescence thermometry methods. These methods are based on the monitoring of the fluorescence properties of photoluminescent activators from the trivalent lanthanide ions group (Ln3+), such as samarium Sm3+, europium Eu3+, dysprosium Dy3+, erbium Er3+ and thulium Tm3+. These activators are directly incorporated into the zirconia YSZ host matrix lattice, which is semi-transparent at their emission wavelengths mainly falling in the visible range. An experimental set up was especially developped for the application of these methods. The characterisation of the different YSZ:Ln3+ powders synthesized by a sol-gel process allowed to optimise the compositions, and thus maximize the fluorescence signal intensity while avoidind any alteration of the zirconia crystal structure required from for a TBC material. The sol-gel dip coating process allowed to deposit functionalised multilayer TBC prototypes integrating up to three fluorescent layers with distinct emission wavelengths distributed throughout the thickness. Such coating architectures allow, with the fluorescence thermometry methods identified, to optically probe the coating across the whole thickness for future applications aiming to determine the thermal gradient in TBCs. Functionalised TBCs containing pre-calibrated delamination defects at the metal/ceramic interface were also used to compare the interest of the reflectance enhanced fluorescence method and an IR thermography method for early monitoring of TBC spallation. At last, the potential offered by YSZ:Ln3+ powders as thermal history sensors alternative to temperature sensitive paints was also investigated

Full textThis thesis is related to the field of nondestructive evaluation of concrete by ultrasound. We focus our study on nonlinear acoustic-based measurements that allow the concrete auscultation at mesoscopic scale where waves interact with microcracks and porosity network. The nonlinear parameters are known to be much more sensitive than those from linear measurements. Concrete is a heterogeneous and complex material. Its behavior is highly nonlinear with increasing damaged state.We develop in this thesis a type of nonlinear measurement: Dynamic Acousto-Elastic Testing (DAET). This technique is based on the principle of a dynamic excitation of the material, using ultrasounds to follow the variation of the elastic behavior depending on the excitation amplitude. We focus our study on the problem of concrete cover which holds a key role in the life of a civil engineering structure. We study the interaction of the DAET measurement with the Rayleigh waves which propagate in the concrete cover. We show the high sensitivity evolution of non-linear parameters in function of thermal damage and carbonation.Subsequently, we propose a new methodology of DAET measurement, in which the transient vibration is generated by an impact and ultrasounds are generated continuously. We present different applications of the proposed method including the case of large specimens. This approach opens broad possibilities of transposing measurements for on-site application
