Time domain steel

Uniform and pitting-type corrosion of various materials (carbon steels, stainless steels, aluminum, etc.) could be characterized in terms of noise properties of the systems fluctuation amplitudes in the time domain and spectral power (frequency dependence of power) of the fluctuations. Under-film corrosion of metals having protective nonmetallic coatings could also be characterized. Thus, corrosion research was enriched by a new and sufficiently correct method of looking at various aspects of the action of corrosive media on metals.

The proposed method to evaluate equivalent damping is applied to twenty MDOF steel moment resisting framed structures with periods varying between 0.5 and 3.0 sec. The time domain non - linear response of the MDOF structures for the long duration seismic excitations of Table 1 (Papagiannopoulos Beskos, 2008b) was obtained by means of the computer program DRAIN - 2DX (Prakash, Powell Campbell, 1993).

The first section of this entry deals with measurement of raw time-domain data and details the spatial filtering technique for data reductimi. The second section is devoted to feature extractirMi, and the third section deals with the diagnostics, both for damage detection and localization. The last section presents an experimental illustration of the SHM technique on a 3.78 m long steel I-beam tested in the laboratory.

In summary, we can first say that there is no significant evidence that the low surface energy siloxane-modified epoxies reduce friction compared with the unmodified epoxy or the ATBN- and CTBN-modified epoxies. Based on the results of the steel ball-on-epoxy experiments, the most significant effect of the siloxane modifiers is the reduction of the elastic modulus associated with large closely spaced domains. The longer initiation times and lowest wear rates observed for the siloxane-modified epoxies were generally associated with a lower modulus. Epoxy modified with the CTBN of 18% AN content also showed lower wear rates with lower modulus but, in contrast with the siloxane-modified resins, had shorter initiation times with lower modulus. 

Calculated Mossbauer transmission spectra (a), nuclear fonward scattering spectra in energy (b) and in time (c) domain for the case of single resonance in a 0.2 jtm thick stainless steel foil 100% enriched in Fe. (d), (e), and (f) are the corresponding spectra for a 3.0 jtm thick stainless steel foil 100% enriched in Fe. (Reproduced from Ref. 46 with permission of Kluwer Academic Publishers.)...
