Abstract
ABSTRACT The initiation and propagation of microcrack damage in concrete under compressive load have a great influence on structures that require high durability. This paper theoretically analyzed the nonlinear acoustic modulation mechanism in concrete at the initial stage of compressive cracking and explored the relationship between microcrack density and nonlinear response variation. Nonlinear behavior and microcrack development of concrete were simulated. The opening/closing state of microcracks under different cracking states and the propagation characteristics of nonlinear acoustic modulated signals were investigated. It was found that the change in microcrack density measured by the DI (damage index) of the nonlinear acoustic field technology was much more significant than that measured by DIC (digital image correlation). The experimental results showed the good feasibility of microcrack detection with width of 13–80 μm. Moreover, the experiment found that when the peak value of DI is between 0.02 and 0.2, microcracks occur in concrete.
期刊介绍:
Research in Nondestructive Evaluation® is the archival research journal of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing, Inc. RNDE® contains the results of original research in all areas of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The journal covers experimental and theoretical investigations dealing with the scientific and engineering bases of NDE, its measurement and methodology, and a wide range of applications to materials and structures that relate to the entire life cycle, from manufacture to use and retirement.
Illustrative topics include advances in the underlying science of acoustic, thermal, electrical, magnetic, optical and ionizing radiation techniques and their applications to NDE problems. These problems include the nondestructive characterization of a wide variety of material properties and their degradation in service, nonintrusive sensors for monitoring manufacturing and materials processes, new techniques and combinations of techniques for detecting and characterizing hidden discontinuities and distributed damage in materials, standardization concepts and quantitative approaches for advanced NDE techniques, and long-term continuous monitoring of structures and assemblies. Of particular interest is research which elucidates how to evaluate the effects of imperfect material condition, as quantified by nondestructive measurement, on the functional performance.
