An Ultrasound Based Technique for the Detection and Classification of Flaws Inside Large Sizes Marble or Stone Structural Elements
نویسندگان
چکیده
There is a growing interest in using ultrasound diagnostic techniques for non-destructive testing of marblelstone blocks or structural elements with large sizes, in order to detect internal flaws such as cracks or fissures. Here a specific diagnostic procedure, based on ultrasound transmission measurements, is proposed. A prototype of a measuring set-up, suitable for an in-field use, is described and the experimental results reported.

متن کاملA TWO-STAGE DAMAGE DETECTION METHOD FOR LARGE-SCALE STRUCTURES BY KINETIC AND MODAL STRAIN ENERGIES USING HEURISTIC PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMIZATION
In this study, an approach for damage detection of large-scale structures is developed by employing kinetic and modal strain energies and also Heuristic Particle Swarm Optimization (HPSO) algorithm. Kinetic strain energy is employed to determine the location of structural damages. After determining the suspected damage locations, the severity of damages is obtained based on variations of modal ...
