Multi-Physics Mesoscale Substructure Analysis on Stress Wave Measurement within CFST-PZT Coupling Models for Interface Debonding Detection

Hits:

Journal:Sensors

Abstract:In recent years, the development of interface debonding defect detection methods for concrete-filled steel tubes (CFSTs) using stress wave measurement with piezoelectric-lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) actuator and sensor has received significant attention. Because the concrete core in CFSTs is a heterogeneous material with randomness at the mesoscale, the size, position and distribution of aggregates unavoidably affect the stress wave propagation and the PZT sensor response. In this study, to efficiently investigate the influence of the mesoscale structure of the concrete core of CFSTs on the response of embedded PZT sensors, a multi-physics substructure model of CFST members coupled with a PZT actuator and a PZT sensor, where a single circular aggregate with different size and position and randomly distributed circular aggregates are considered, are established first. Then, multi-physics simulations on the effect of the local mesoscale structure of the concrete core on the response of the embedded PZT sensor excited by both a sinusoidal signal and sweep frequency signal are carried out. Moreover, corresponding multi-physics and mesoscale simulations on the embedded PZT sensor response of substructures with different interface debonding defects are also carried out for comparison. The amplitude and the wavelet packet energy of the embedded PZT sensor response of each mesoscale substructure are employed to distinguish the influence of the concrete core mesoscale structure and interface debonding defect on sensor measurement. The findings from the results with the multi-physics coupling substructure models are compared with those of the full CFST-PZT coupling models and the tested members of the previous studies to verify the rationality of the embedded PZT sensors measurement of the established substructure models. Results from this study show that the effect of interface debonding defect on the amplitude and the wavelet packet energy of the embedded PZT sensor measurement of the CFST members is dominant compared with the mesoscale heterogeneity and randomness of the concrete core.

Profile

Dr. Bin Xu is currently the Minjiang Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering, a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government, at Huaqiao University, Xiamen, China. He currently is the Director and Founder of the Key Laboratory for Intelligent Infrastructure and Monitoring (IIM) of Fujian Province, and the Director and Founder of the International Centre for Safety and Sustainability of Civil Engineering at Huaqiao University. 

Before joining Huaqiao University, he was a Lotus Scholar Professor of Civil Engineering (a professorship appointed by Fujian Provincial Government) at Hunan University from 2005 to 2016 and was also the associate dean of the College of Civil Engineering at Hunan University from 2010 to 2016. He was also the Director of the Hunan Provincial Key Lab on Damage Prognosis for Engineering Structures from 2015 to 2016 at Hunan University. He taught and carried out research at the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University as a Curtis Visiting Professor appointed by Purdue University in 2014-2015 academic year. He had been invited and financially support by European Commission to work at Sapienza University of Roma in 2010 and hired by University of Western Australia as a Gledden Visiting Senior Fellow from 2007 to 2008. Before starting working in China in 2005, he worked at University of Missouri-Rolla in US as a Post-Doc from 2003 to 2005 and at Ibaraki University in Japan as a Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) postdoctoral fellow from 2001 to 2003. 

He has been the supervisor of 7 Ph.D., 1 Post-Doc, 4 international visiting students and over 60 MS students. All of his PhD students are working at universities. Dr. Xu has committed to securing competitive external funds to support programs, research, and labs. He has been the PI and Co-PI of 14 competitive government funded research projects including a China- European Commission international collaborative research project, an international collaborative research project between National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and National Natural Science Foundation (NSF) of US, and a number of NSFC research projects. He is also the recipient of Grant-in-aid of 7 talent programs sponsored by China Ministry of Education (CMoE) and other government agencies.

He also serves on various academic societies as Editor-in-Chief, Executive Editor, Associate Editor, Guest Editor or editorial board member for international journals and professional committees as Standing Committee Member, Executive Member or Committee Members.
