Concrete Carbonation Depth Nondestructive Measurement
Posted: 2024-5-25Abstract
Determining the carbonation depth is of paramount importance in assessing the durability of cementitious materials as the carbonation process alters their near-surface physicochemical properties. This paper introduces a novel quantitative ultrasound (QUS) technique capable of nondestructively identifying the carbonation depth, regardless of the tortuosity of the carbonation front. A 2.5 MHz phased array transducer was employed to construct beamformed radio frequency images and measure two ...Read More.

Barely Visible Impact Damage Detection in CFRP Composite Using Vibrothermography
Posted: 2024-5-20Abstract
The extensive use of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite materials in various industries has posed new challenges for conducting effective structural health monitoring and nondestructive evaluation techniques. Based on local defect resonance (LDR), the vibrothermography with narrowband sweep excitation is proposed to detect BVIDs in the CFRP composite. The response spectrum of displacement at the impact crater was collected by a laser Doppler vibrometer, which was used to dete...Read More.
