crack detection in pipes
DESCRIPTION
Mechanical accidents, fatigue, erosion, corrosion, as well as environmental attacks, are issues that can lead to a crack in a mechanical structure. Cracks are indications of an impending mechanical failure. In view of the fact that the presence of a crack in a structure could lead to devastating results, investigating the structural integrity of pipes was an extremely active area of research in the last two decades. Mechanical structures in real service life are subjected to combined or separate effects of the dynamic load, temperature and corrosive medium, due to the consequent growth of fatigue cracks, cracks due to corrosion and other type damages. Although the theory and technology of non-destructive testing is highly enhanced, inspecting the integrity of a structure is a labour-intensive and protracted process that should only be carried out when truly needed. One approach for reducing inspection related shutdown time and cost is to provide a mechanism with an early warning failure device. Such a device monitors, online, crack-related irregularity in the behaviour of a system. If the device gives a sound signal that a crack is present, a message is given out to the operator to shutdown the machine and have it checked. For the development of such early warning devices, knowledge of the dynamics of cracked structures is important.TRANSCRIPT

INTRODUCTION TO CRACK
• Definition “Any deviation introduced to a structure, either deliberately or
unintentionally, which adversely affect the performance of the system.”
Damage Assessment
Four levels of damage assessment:
1. Determining the presence
2. Locating the damage
3. Quantifying the severity
4. Prediction of the remaining serviceability

4) Gaping cracks: Cracks that always remain open are known as “gaping cracks” or “notches”.
5)Surface cracks: Cracks that open on the surface are called “surface cracks”.
6)Subsurface cracks: Cracks that do not show on the surface are called “subsurface cracks”.

Significant changes in natural frequencies of the vibrating pipes are observed at the vicinity of crack location.
With the increase in crack depth, the natural frequency of the pipe decreases
The less is the wall thickness, less is the computational effort
This method is promising and can be used over a large-scale ,compared to other NDE techniques.
