| Sumario: | In this paper, a modified direct current potential drop (DCPD) method for real-time measurement of the length, the inclination and the position of cracks is presented. Based on the proposed configuration, it is possible to process the data acquired by continuously measuring the change in the electrical resistance (potential drop) between specific points on the specimen in real time and correlate them with the propagation of the crack and thus identifying its crucial characteristics. Furthermore, many aspects that affect the electromagnetic field inside materials have been identified. In that way the influence of unwanted factors can be significantly reduced which has led to a better understanding of the relation between the implemented voltage values and the fracture itself. Therefore, conclusions are drawn about the structural integrity of any given specimen through a risk assessment after the crack characteristics have been calculated. In order to achieve this, a variety of techniques were implemented including the development of a stochastic algorithm along with a customized experimental layout so as to accomplish high accuracy for the prediction model as well as robustness towards other influencing parameters such as temperature and humidity. |
