Wavelet analysis on pressure stimulated currents emitted by marble samples
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents a wavelet based method of analysis of experimentally recorded weak electric signals from marble specimens which have undergone successive abrupt step loadings. Experimental results verify the existence of “memory effects” in rocks, as far as the current emission is concerned, akin to the “Kaiser effect” in acoustic emissions, which accompany rock fracturing. Macroscopic signal processing shows similarities and differences between the currents emitted during successive loading and wavelet analysis can reveal significant differences between the currents of each loading cycle that contain valuable information for the micro and macro cracks in the specimen as well as information for the remaining strength of the material. Wavelets make possible the time localization of the energy of the electric signal emitted by stressed specimens and can serve as method to differentiate between compressed and uncompressed samples, or to determine the deformation level of specimens.

The Ascertainment of the Presence of Damage Processes Using the Pressure Stimulated Current (PSC) Technique on Marble and Cement Samples
Current emissions due to externally applied stress were studied for various materials in the past. This work concentrates on comparative measurements conducted on marble and cement mortar samples. The current emitted and its correlation to the damage development in the samples bulk was studied. Specifically, several experiments were conducted by applying constant stress rate or deformation rate...
متن کاملPiezo stimulated currents in marble samples: precursory and concurrent-with-failure signals
The Earth’s electric field transient variations are promising candidates of earthquake precursors. In order to study the physical mechanisms of such precursory signals, laboratory experiments of uniaxial compression were carried out. More specifically the behaviour of stressed marble samples from Penteli Mountain was investigated. The samples were subjected to a time-varying uniaxial compressio...
متن کاملtransformer differential protection using the fault-generated high-frequency transient components
Power transformers are the most important components of a power system, so their protection is a critical issue. This paper proposes a novel and efficient algorithm based on the high-frequency components of the differential current signal to discriminate between the magnetizing inrush currents and the internal faults. After detecting the over-current in the differential current signals, samples...

In this work, the waste stone sludge obtained from the granite and marble stone processing factories was used for the manufacture of artificial stones using vibratory compaction in a vacuum environment. The results obtained showed that water absorption and density increased, and the flexure, compressive, and tensile strengths decreased with increase in the content of the waste stone sludge. The...
