Inhoud

The course gives an overview of the most important Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques like visual inspection, ultrasonic testing, acoustic emission, liquid penetrants, magnetic particles, thermography and X-rays. Special emphasis is given to techniques used in civil engineering. The course also gives an overview of the available experimental techniques for displacement, strain and stress measurement. Techniques like strain gauges, Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) and the more recent full field optical technique of Digital Image Correlation will be treated in more detail than other techniques like for instance photo-elasticity and Shearography). The course also aims to give students hands-on experience on using different techniques in the laboratory and creating concise reports of experimental results.

Algemene competenties

The course contributes to the understanding of the fundamental principles of the monitoring and measurement techniques. It allows the student to obtain an overview of the currently available technologies for characterization of materials and structures and to be in position to select the proper technique based on a given application. The laboratory work, offers to the students hands-on experience on a variety of available techniques (ultrasound, acoustic emission, DIC, resonant frequency, strain gauges) and the possibility to improve the student’s research and communications skills.

As a consequence of the ever-increasing importance of life cycle analysis, durability, life assessment, reliable characterization using non-destructive testing (NDT) plays a major role in modern industry. Different experimental techniques able to measure displacements, strains and stresses on specimens and structures are discussed (linear variable differential transformer [LVDT], strain gauges, optic fibers, brief mention of shearography and photoelasticity). The fundamentals of different NDT techniques are looked at: elastic waves (ultrasonic inspection), acoustic emission, liquid penetrants, magnetic particles, infrared thermography, eddy currents, nuclear methods (X- and γ-rays).

End terms
After studying this course the student will know how to measure displacements, strains and/or stresses on coupons and real structures. He will be acquainted with the possibilities (pros and cons) of the most important NDT-techniques and will understand how to derive material properties and damage parameters based on NDT outcome.
