The article discusses the types of dangerous defects in welded joints. The main methods of non-destructive testing are described, their advantages and disadvantages are briefly reflected. The comparison of the automated ultrasonic testing methods with radiographic ones is given on the example of testing the welded joints of ASME DN350 Py250 pipe fittings with a thickness of the welded edges of 53.9 ÷ 61.3 mm. The comparison results of the methods by the criterion of the accuracy of determining the coordinates of defects are presented, which show the expediency of replacing the automated ultrasonic method with the radiographic one, provided that the thickness of the welded edges is shallow.

The article analyzes masonry as composite material and presents the factors that affect the mechanical characteristics of masonry. The article also deals with the most frequently used destructive and non-destructive testing methods for the compressive strength of masonry mortar as well as related advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, the analysis of methods for testing ultrasonic waves has been carried out. The article reveals that for using the methodology of testing a mortar bonded wafer, the compressive strength correlation of masonry mortar is set between the ascertainment of masonry mortar strength using a regular mortar testing methodology (LST EN 1015-11:2004) and the compressive strength of mortar possibly taken from masonry joints. The obtained results of an experimental study on the samples have demonstrated that the strength reduction ratio of masonry mortar depends on the compressive strength of mortar. The value of the ratio is increasing with the descending compressive strength of mortar. Šiame straipsnyje nagrinėjamas mūras kaip kompozitinė medžiaga.

Abstract The need for non-destructive testing is regulated by the rules of the Russian River Register, which can determine the choice of the method of non-destructive testing and the procedure for its implementation. Non-destructive testing methods used in naval mechanical engineering are: visual and measuring control, ultrasonic control, radiographic control, capillary control, magnetic control, eddy current control. Each of the methods, due to the difference in the implemented physical principles, has its own advantages and disadvantages, which impose restrictions on the flaw detection of parts. The analysis of the sculpted defects of ship equipment and machines, depending on the manufacturing method and operating conditions, was carried out. The limitations on the use of non-destructive testing methods are shown. Examples of non-flaw detective parts are given, the control of which is difficult, as well as flaw detective parts that can be controlled with a guaranteed condition for detecting defects. The advantage of the method of magnetic memory of metal is indicated, relative to other methods of non-destructive testing. Using the example of a piston pin of a marine diesel engine NVD 36, a comparative analysis of the applicability of ultrasonic testing methods, the magnetic memory method and the penetrating solutions method for detecting fatigue cracks was performed. The results of the control show that the applied methods confidently identify fatigue cracks in the controlled parts, machines and mechanisms of ship equipment.

Inductive thermography is a non-destructive testing method, whereby the specimen is slightly heated with a short heating pulse (0.1–1 s) and the temperature change on the surface is recorded with an infrared (IR) camera. Eddy current is induced by means of high frequency (HF) magnetic field in the surface ‘skin’ of the specimen. Since surface cracks disturb the eddy current distribution and the heat diffusion, they become visible in the IR images. Head checks and squats are specific types of damage in railway rails related to rolling contact fatigue (RCF). Inductive thermography can be excellently used to detect head checks and squats on rails, and the method is also applicable for characterizing individual cracks as well as crack networks. Several rail pieces with head checks, with artificial electrical discharge-machining (EDM)-cuts and with a squat defect were inspected using inductive thermography. Aiming towards rail inspection of the track, 1 m long rail pieces were inspected in two different ways: first via a ‘stop-and-go’ technique, through which their subsequent images are merged together into a panorama image, and secondly via scanning during a continuous movement of the rail. The advantages and disadvantages of both methods are compared and analyzed. Special image processing tools were developed to automatically fully characterize the rail defects (average crack angle, distance between cracks and average crack length) in the recorded IR images. Additionally, finite element simulations were used to investigate the effect of the measurement setup and of the crack parameters, in order to optimize the experiments.

Recently, the interest in maintenance and repair of existing concrete structures have increased, and it is typical to use non-destructive testing methods such as rebound hardness test or ultrasonic pulse velocity method to execute maintenance and repair of structures efficiently. Many non-destructive testing methods are being used in practice such as at construction sites, but verification for site applications are quite inadequate. Thus, this study intends to evaluate the applicability of Impact Echo Method which is one of the non-destructive testing methods using stress wave. Total of four specimens were planned and produced. The thickness of concrete slab members was estimated using I.E(OLSENs Freedom Data PC with Win.TFS Software Version 2.5.2). The estimated materials of concrete members by IE was found to be IE-1 specimen 178mm, IE-2 specimen 197mm, IE-3 specimen 191mm, and IE-4 specimen 263mm, and the error rate was found to be 4.22%~18.67% (average 9.6%), showing that they are relatively well in agreement. In this study, the experiments were executed with the objective of estimating the thickness of concrete slab members using Impact Echo Method. Through this study, the applicability of thickness estimation in concrete slab members using impact echo method could be confirmed.
