Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustic Emission (AE) fatigue crack monitoring has the potential to provide early fatigue crack detection and assessment required to develop a rational prognostics methodology and can provide insight to assess the integrity of structures such as bridges. Most steel structures develop fatigue cracks at the transverse weld toe of stiffeners, attachments, and cover plates. The cracks develop from a combination of initial conditions (e.g. weld toe geometry, discontinuities, residual stress fields) that are difficult to accurately quantify, thus rendering fracture mechanics models for the prediction of fatigue crack growth exceedingly difficult without experimental verification. Single edge notches provide a very well defined load and fatigue crack size and shape environment for estimation of the stress intensity factor K, which is not found in welded structures. ASTM SE(T) specimens do not appear to provide ideal boundary conditions for proper recording of acoustic wave propagation and crack growth behavior observed in the field, but do provide standard fatigue crack growth rate data. A modified version of the SE(T) specimen has been examined to provide small scale specimens with improved AE characteristics while still maintaining accuracy of fatigue crack growth rate da/dN versus stress intensity factor [delta]K. The configuration of the modified SE(T) specimen maintains the similitude with the orientation of crack propagation in flanges of steel bridge members. Testing of small scale single edge notch tension specimens is considered to assess load ratio (R ratio) and initial crack size effects on fatigue life of specimens. Fatigue tests are conducted at various R ratios to investigate the effect of load ratio on acoustic emission data. Stress Intensity Factor (SIF) models are extended to include expressions for crack tip opening displacement measured experimentally with a clip gauge. Correlation between fatigue crack growth, stress intensity factor and AE data is developed. Analytical and numerical studies of stress intensity factor are developed for single edge notch test specimens consistent with the experimental program. ABAQUS finite element software is utilized for stress analysis of crack tips. Cruciform specimens consisting of a single tension pull plate with transverse fillet welded plates attached at midspan are tested. The transverse plates represent stiffeners and/or short attachments typical of steel bridge details. The specimen provides realistic initial conditions of fatigue crack initiation and growth from high stress concentration regions. Realistic AE waveform characteristics representative of those expected on bridge structures is produced. Accurate stress intensity factor values are more difficult to obtain due to the small, non-uniform crack growth conditions at the weld toe. Additional Finite Element Models for welded geometries capturing stress fields at the weld toe of stiffeners and attachment details is performed to examine crack depth, limited base plate thickness and weld toe angle effects on the relationship between stress intensity factor K and crack size, a. Numerical results are incorporated into an existing analytical stress intensity factor framework to minimize required computational costs. As a result, the validity of Acoustic Emission (AE) as a parameter to assess, monitor and predict the structural health of infrastructure was verified. A methodology to combine AE data and loading data with fracture models was developed to identify and evaluate existing condition (size and shape) and predict future behavior of fatigue cracks on a structure subject to well defined detail types. This will provide the ability to do prognostic using AE and will allow the prediction for the remaining life of the member based on the AE data.

Book excerpt: This report describes the results of a study to characterize the acoustic emission (AE) associated with steel cracking and various sources of noise in a typical bridge environment. It summarizes previous applications ofAE monitoring of steel bridges and describes the AE field testing of five bridges in Virginia, including extensive data and discussion of the field testing of the active cracking of a hanger on the Rte. 29 bridge over the Robinson River in Madison County. The study revealed that AE monitoring is sensitive to the acoustic energy emitted by steel bridge members during the formation and growth of cracks. It is the only method that can distinguish between active and benign cracks. It is also possible to discriminate between AE caused by crack growth and irrelevant noise. AE information can be significant in making repair or replacement decisions, and AE could be used for the continuous remote monitoring of critical bridge members or even entire bridges. A database developed from AE studies would allow the integration of real-time monitoring of the deterioration of steel bridge members into bridge management and decision making in lieu of frequent visual inspections.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The condition assessment of aged structures is becoming a more and more important issue for civil infrastructure management systems. The continued use of existing systems is, due to environmental, economical and socio-political assets, of great significance and is growing larger every year. Thus the extent of necessary repair of damaged reinforced concrete structures is of major concern in most countries today. Monitoring techniques may have a decisive input to limit expenditures for maintenance and repair of existing structures. Modern test and measurement methods as well as computational mechanics open the door for a wide variety of monitoring applications. The need for quantitative and qualitative knowledge has led to the development and improvement of surveillance techniques, which have already found successful application in other disciplines such as medicine, physics and chemistry. The design of experimental test and measurement systems is inherently an interdisciplinary activity. The specification of the instrumentation to measure the structural response will involve the skills of civil, electrical and computer engineers. The main aim of fib Commission 5, Structural servicer life aspects, is to provide a rational procedure to obtain an optimal technical-economic performance of concrete structures in service and to ensure a feedback of experience gained to design, execution, maintenance and rehabilitation. Against this background fib Task Group 5.1 Monitoring and Safety Evaluation of Existing Concrete Structures had been established to evaluate the existing practice worldwide. The objective of this state-of-art report is to summarize the most important inspection and measuring methods, to describe the working process and to evaluate the applicability to structural monitoring. Particular emphasis is placed upon non-destructive systems, lifetime monitoring, data evaluation and safety aspects.

Download or read book Structural Health Monitoring of Large Structures Using Acoustic Emission–Case Histories written by Kanji Ono and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acoustic emission (AE) techniques have successfully been used for assuring the structural integrity of large rocket motorcases since 1963, and their uses have expanded to ever larger structures, especially as structural health monitoring (SHM) of large structures has become the most urgent task for engineering communities around the world. The needs for advanced AE monitoring methods are felt keenly by those dealing with aging infrastructures. Many publications have appeared covering various aspects of AE techniques, but documentation of actual applications of AE techniques has been mostly limited to reports of successful results without technical details that allow objective evaluation of the results. There are some exceptions in the literature. In this Special Issue of the Acoustics section of Applied Sciences, we seek contributions covering these exceptions cited here. Here, we seek contributions describing case histories of AE applications to large structures that have achieved the goals of SHM by providing adequate technical information supporting the success stories. Types of structures can include aerospace and geological structures, bridges, buildings, factories, maritime facilities, off-shore structures, etc. Experiences with AE monitoring methods designed and proven for large stru
