Abstract

We address a non-destructive testing of bitumen insulations. A new approach to its in situ monitoring is proposed. It is based on single impact microindentation. To describe the straining process of a bitumen coating, we analyzed Maxwell and Voigt rheological models. It is shown experimentally that Maxwell model suits well for this task. Temporal changes of the rigidity coefficient in the coating depending on the ambient temperature were measured. It has been established that microindentation-based method is effective for the assessment of the insulation aging. Thermal aging experiments and measurements were carried out to confirm the applicability of the proposed approach.

期刊介绍： Mechanics of Time-Dependent Materials accepts contributions dealing with the time-dependent mechanical properties of solid polymers, metals, ceramics, concrete, wood, or their composites. It is recognized that certain materials can be in the melt state as function of temperature and/or pressure. Contributions concerned with fundamental issues relating to processing and melt-to-solid transition behaviour are welcome, as are contributions addressing time-dependent failure and fracture phenomena. Manuscripts addressing environmental issues will be considered if they relate to time-dependent mechanical properties. The journal promotes the transfer of knowledge between various disciplines that deal with the properties of time-dependent solid materials but approach these from different angles. Among these disciplines are: Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Rheology, Materials Science, Polymer Physics, Design, and others.
