摘要: |
This project was aimed at developing and evaluating a sensor-based nondestructive testing (NDT) method for online monitoring of highway bridges without using any past baseline data. A theoretical framework of the proposed baseline-free NDT technique was developed along with a time reversal process (TRP), and a NDT methodology for detecting cracks in bridge steel girders was formulated. To prove the feasibility of the proposed concept, research addressed the following key questions: What is the practical sensing range of TRP for damage detection. Can different types of be selectively detected and quantified. Do sensor conditions affect damage detection. Do undesirable operational and environmental conditions affect damage detection. Is the proposed TRP applicable to more complex structural geometries. The sensing range of TRP was found to be significantly larger than that achieved by conventional NDT methods, and the active sensing device was able to propagate up to 40 m. / NOTE: Final Rept.
