NONDESTRUCTIVE EVALUATION OF CONCRETE STRUCTURES BY NONLINEAR ULTRASONIC SPECTROSCOPY METHODS
Převorovský, Zdeněk ; Krofta, Josef ; Chlada, Milan
Facilities of nonlinear ultrasonic spectroscopy for defects detection in steel-reinforced concrete structures are discussed in the paper. Results are shown from non-destructive evaluation of concrete block samples reinforced with intact and corroded armature. Seven piezoelectric transducers were glued on the sample surface. One of them was used to harmonic excitation of the structure with frequency f1=45 kHz and stepwise growing amplitude. Among other 6 transducers one was multiplexed as a second transmitter of harmonic signal with f2=217 kHz and remaining sensors were receiving structural response on 2-frequency excitation. Most pronounced spectral differences between samples with corroded and intact reinforcement were observed on amplitude dependence of 3f1/2f1 ratio and f2-3f1 sidebands, which can be considered as nonlinear parameters characterizing concrete damage.
Ultrazvukové časově-reversní zrcadlo-numerická simulace v desce s defektem
Krofta, Josef ; Převorovský, Zdeněk
The time reversal mirror (TRM) is a method which can be effective in NDE of defects in materials. In this case an input ultrasonic wave is transmitted into the examined sample, then recorded by receiving transducers, time reversed and sent back by the same transducers. A simple numerical model of a solid plate was developed. Using this model, a simulation of TRM was performed. The propagation of ultrasonic waves used in time reversal method is studied. A number of tests with various configurations of transducers and defects and different methodology of the TRM procedure is simulated.
