It has been shown to be particularly suitable for the detection of imperfections in the composite lay-up on reinforced concrete (r.c.) structures and to detect the starting point of a debonding within the same structure. 

9 Failure Tests on Reinforced Members, Beams, and Columns 

The tests involve the removal of a structural member to subject it to different loads in order to monitor their shear and/or flexural strength. These tests are particularly effective for detecting problems of localization due to cracks. It should also be verified that the cracking mechanisms would occur on the actual structure as well. 

Pursuant to the reference regulations UNI EN 473 and UNI EN 45013 on the matter, the professional profiles of operators in charge of the tests should match the following three levels of qualification specified in Table 8.4. 

Qualifications should also be adjusted to the regulation UNI EN 45013 —General criteria related to HR Certification Boards.

Fokker Bond Tester. An ultrasonic inspection technique commonly used for aircraft structures is based on ultrasonic spectroscopy [2]. Commercially available instruments (bond testers) used for this test operate on the principle of mechanical resonance in a multi-layer structure. A piezoelectric probe shown in Figure 3b, excited by a variable frequency sine signal is placed on the surface of the inspected structure. A frequency spectrum in the range of some tens of kHz to several MHz is acquired by the instrument, see Figure 3a. 

The shortcomings of microhardness tests include numerous sources of errors not found in macrohardness tests such as friction, vibration, inertia, windage, and the skiH of the test operator. 

The hterature abounds with instructions as to the proper manner in which to accomplish the necessaiy and MIC-safe testing procedures. The engineering personnel planning these test operations should avail themselves of that knowledge. 

Preliminary Test Operation of the unit shoiild be set at the test protocol conditions. A preliminaiy set of samples should be taken to identify problems with instruments, measurements, and sample locations. This preliminaiy set of measurements should also be an yzed in the same manner that the full-test results will be analyzed to ensure that the measurements wiU lead to the desired results. Modifications to the test protocol can be made prior to exerting the effort and resources necessary for the complete test. 

In summary, for a eomponent/eharaeteristie it is possible to define an area of aeeeptable design on a graph of oeeurrenee versus severity. The aeeeptability of the design ean be enhaneed somewhat by the addition of inspeetion and test operations. The requirements of proeess eapability may be relaxed to a degree, as the eonditional probability of failure reduees, but this should be subjeet to a generous safety margin. 

Don t delegate inspection and test operations to others without confirming that they meet the criteria for trained inspectors and testers.

The test operates at a potential above 2-00 V (vs. S.H.E.), and the ditch structure obtained with sensitised alloys must be due, therefore, to the high rate of dissolution of the sensitised areas as compared with the matrix. The step structure is due to the different rates of dissolution of different crystal planes, and the dual structure is obtained when chromium carbides are present at grain boundaries, but not as a continuous network.

ATSDR also strongly recommends that information and data for an incinerator s design, testing, operation, and monitoring be shared with the public. The Agency endorses this approach as being consistent with the community right-to-know requirements already in place for industries that use and store hazardous substances in the community.

The HTTR is an experimental helium-cooled 30 MW(t) reactor. The HTTR is not designed for electrical power production, but its high temperature process heat capability makes it worthy of inclusion here. Construction started in March 1991 [47] and first criticality is expected in 1998 [48]. The prismatic graphite core of the HTTR is contained in a steel pressure vessel 13.3 m in height and 5.5 m in diameter. The reactor outlet coolant temperature is 850°C under normal rated operation and 950°C under high temperature test operation. The HTTR has a primary helium coolant loop with an intermediate helium-helium heat exchanger and a pressurized water cooler in parallel. The reactor is thus capable of providing...

Other test methods are the powder bulk, aerated, and layer tests [137,138]. Several systems in-house built are available. All of these tests operate on the principle that a layer of the substance under investigation is heated in a circulating air oven as the temperature is increased. Air is transported through the sample (in the aerated test, the air flow is downward through the sample), and the temperature of the powder at several places is recorded. 

The owner shall have overall responsibility for compliance with this Code and for establishing the requirements for design, construction, examination, inspection, testing, operation, and maintenance of the hydrogen piping or pipeline system. 

This Part sets forth requirements for materials, components, design, fabrication, assembly, erection, inspection, examination, testing, operation, and maintenance of hydrogen pipelines. 

These discoveries led to the simple traps that are now used to monitor tsetse flies and to control them. A test operation in Zimbabwe in the late 1980s gave dramatic evidence of how potent such traps can be. Insecticide-impregnated screens, baited with acetone and octenol, were distributed at a density of four screens per square kilometer. These traps reduced tsetse populations by more than 99.99 percent over an area of 600 square kilometers (230 square miles). The screens are even more effective when the urine-derived phenols are added to the attractants employed. Their effectiveness having been clearly demonstrated, traps and screens have become important complements to insecticide-based measures for controlling tsetse flies. 

The ACW I Committee s concern at the time this step was listed was plugging in the cell channels from the formation of AgCl precipitate. AEA has since provided hydrocyclones to remove this precipitate. These hydrocyclones were used in EDS II 12-kW test operations and were found to perform well. However, the committee still remains uncertain about successful operation in a full-scale plant (where there are up to 432 parallel paths vs. the 3 parallel paths that have been... 

The technology provider resolved the loss of reaction caused by the less-than-optimum reactivity of propylene glycol by continuing the flows of the initiating fuel (kerosene) and start-up hot water during EDS II test operations. The committee believes that the ratios of the various feeds may still not be correct, and that further adjustment may be necessary to resolve this instability problem.

Karl sometimes seized on relatively simplistic models of behavior and devised colorful ways to promote them. One was the TOTE model - Test-Operate-Test-Exit- which he diagrammed as a simple feedback loop. It was just another way of saying the brain dictated an action and then looked to see if it produced the intended result. Well, anyone who has practiced a golf swing could agree with that concept ...
