Damage inspection of fiber reinforced polymer-concrete systems using a distant acoustic-laser NDE technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a distant acoustic-laser NDE technique is proposed, utilizing a high powered standoff parametric acoustic array (PAA) and laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV), for the detection of debonding and delamination in multi-layer composite systems. Fiber-reinforced polymer wrapped concrete cylinder specimens with artificial defect were manufactured and used in the validation of the technique. Low-frequency (50 Hz 2 kHz) and highfrequency (2 kHz 7 kHz) focused sound waves were generated by PAA, and surface dynamic signatures of the specimens were remotely measured by LDV. From the results it is found that the proposed technique successfully captures the presence of near-surface debonding/delamination.

A distant real-time radar NDE technique for the in-depth inspection of glass fiber reinforced polymer-retrofitted concrete columns
A novel real-time radar NDE technique for the in-depth inspection of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)retrofitted concrete columns is proposed. In this technique, continuous wave radar signals are transmitted in the far-field region (distant inspection), and reflected signals are collected by the same signal transmitter. Collected radar signals are processed by tomographic reconstruction me...

Standoff methods of non-destructive testing (NDT) offer flexibility over traditional methods of inspection which typically require physical contact with the material being measured. The benefits are that difficult to access locations can be inspected and measurements of a large area can be made more quickly. Acoustic-laser vibrometry is a robust standoff NDT technique for composite materials, s...
