Non-destructive Testing of Wooden Elements
PublicationExamining the condition of wooden elements is crucial from the perspective of proper structure performance. If the deterioration in the internal wood condition, which displays no symptoms visible from the outside, is detected, the further spread of the deterioration can be prevented. Test results often point to the necessity of conducting repairs and, renovations, replacing the structure of wooden beams, or even substituting a...

Assessment of Wooden Beams from Historical Buildings Using Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography
PublicationThe main goal of this study was non-destructive evaluation of wooden elements using ultrasonic waves. The inspection was carried out on wooden beams from a historical object. Elastic wave signals were processed by ultrasonic transmission tomography to obtain imaging of the internal structure of tested elements without disturbing their state and integrity. The focus was on the influence of wood anisotropy on the propagation of ultrasonic...

Using the ultrasonic tomography method to study the condition of wooden beams from historical buildngs
PublicationThe need to evaluate the integrity of wooden structural elements is constantly increasing. Non-destructive methods are becoming more popular in this field of research. One type of non-destructive testing is the ultrasonic imaging method, which allows the analysis of internal wood structures without disturbing their state and integrity. In this study, we are interested in assessing the effect of wood condition on the ultrasound...

Non-destructive inspection of ground anchors using guided wave propagation
PublicationThis paper deals with numerical and experimental investigations of specific problems of guided wave propagation in ground anchors. The research focuses on recognizing the phenomenon of the energy transfer between anchor components. Particular attention is paid to characteristic features of guided waves propagating in free and embedded parts of the tendon, at the interface between the tendon and the surrounding anchor body as well...

Non-Destructive Assessment of Masonry Pillars using Ultrasonic Tomography
PublicationIn this paper, a condition assessment of masonry pillars is presented. Non-destructive tests were performed on an intact pillar as well as three pillars with internal inclusions in the form of a hole, a steel bar grouted by gypsum mortar, and a steel bar grouted by cement mortar. The inspection utilized ultrasonic stress waves and the reconstruction of the velocity distribution was performed by means of computed tomography. The...

Characterization of corrosion in reinforced concrete beams using destructive and non-destructive tests
PublicationThe paper presents both non-destructive and destructive experimental tests on steel-reinforced concrete beams subjected to electrochemical corrosion. To examine the condition and behavior of the specimens, destructive tests were carried out, i.e., a three-point bending together with a modulated ultrasonic wave test. In addition, a series of non-destructive experiments were conducted, such as the potential measurement method, low-frequency...

Damage imaging algorithm for non-destructive inspection of CFRP/steel adhesive joints based on ultrasonic guided wave propagation
PublicationThe paper concerns assessing the quality of the adhesive connection between a steel plate and the reinforcing CFRP laminate. A three-stage algorithm for non-destructive damage imaging was developed. As the first step, an initial study involving dispersion curves of joint components was executed to determine the material parameters and the appropriate excitation frequency. During the second step, damage identification in three-layer...

Intelligent monitoring the vertical dynamics of wheeled inspection vehicles
PublicationThe problem of intelligent monitoring of the vertical dynamics of wheeled inspection vehicles is addressed. With the independent MacPherson suspension system installed, the basic analysis focuses on the evaluation of the parameters of the so-called quarter car model. To identify a physically motivated continuous description, in practice, dedicated integral-horizontal filters are used. The obtained discrete model, which retains...
