研究目的
To develop a method for estimating the depth of cracks in building materials using laser-induced thermography, enabling the distinction between shallow and deep fractures.
研究成果
The study presents a method for estimating the depth of cracks in building materials using laser-induced thermography and a β-tool. The method allows for the distinction between shallow and deep fractures, with potential applications in the diagnostics of railway bridges and other structures.
研究不足
The method assumes a two-dimensional geometry and requires knowledge of the material's physical characteristics (density, specific heat, and thermal conductivity). Uncertainties in these parameters can lead to systematic errors in the crack depth estimation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs laser-induced thermography to heat a small area on a side of a crack in building materials. The temperature distribution is analyzed to detect cracks and estimate their depth using a β-tool.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Selected specimens of brick and concrete with known cracks are used.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A pulsed laser working at wavelengths 532 nm and 1064 nm, with an average energy of about 40 mJ per pulse, and a thermo-camera FLIR T1020 equipped with a standard lens.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The laser heats a small area on the specimen, and the temperature distribution is captured by the thermo-camera. The data is transformed from 3D to 2D, and a 2D finite-element model is developed to compute the β-curve.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The temperature gap across the crack is used as an input to the β-tool to estimate the fracture depth.
