AC excitation signal is most widely used in Non Destructed Testing (NDT) devices for Piezoelectric Technique (PZT) method in an inspec-tion. This paper is presenting the application of piezoelectric with end to end method for defect identification for Carbon Steel Pipe (CSP) where the frequency is used around 1kHz until 6kHz for standard pipe, transverse defect pipe, longitudinal defect pipe and hole defect pipe. From here, the identification of defect signal by based on the signal pick value and different pick signal between ordinary pipe (without defect) and defects pipe are analysis. The result shows that the standard pipe will give the high amplitude of signal compare the defect pipe by based on the type of defect, size of defect and depth of defect. Findings from the comparative study, validate the application of piezoelec-tric show that the different amplitude of the signal is directly proportional with excitation signal frequency and through the experiment, the longitudinal defect is contributed the different high signal until 79.7% compared to the hole and transverse defect 74.4 %.

Ultrasonic testing or commonly known as UT is one of the non-destructive testing technique and widely used in oil and gas industrial inspection. This technique mostly used in defect or crack identification of the pipeline and also used for flaw detection/evaluation, dimensional measurements, and material characterization. This paper presents the effect of heat treatment for S55C carbon steel in attenuation measurement by using ultrasonic testing including annealing, tempering, and quenching process.  Seawater and oil are used as a medium of quenching process. The fixed excitation frequency at 4 MHz is used and 0 degrees with double crystal is implemented in this measurement. The thicknesses of blocks used are as the sample from 30mm until 80mm. The result shows that the measurement of material attenuation will be decreased after annealing, tempering and quenching process from 40% until 99% compared to before the heat treatment process. The highest attenuation decreasing can be seen on the sample block with the 30mm thickness in the heat treatment process.

Abstract We experimentally investigated nonlinear combination resonances in a graphite-epoxy cantilever plate having the configuration (–75/75/75/ – 75/75/ – 75)s. As a first step, we compared the natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained from the finite-element and experimental modal analyses. The largest difference in the obtained frequencies was 2.6%. Then, we transversely excited the plate and obtained force-response and frequency-response curves, which were used to characterize the plate dynamics. We acquired time-domain data for specific input conditions using an A/D card and used them to generate time traces, power spectra, pseudo-state portraits, and Poincaré maps. The data were obtained with an accelerometer monitoring the excitation and a laser vibrometer monitoring the plate response. We observed the external combination resonance Ω≈12(ω2+ω5) and the internal combination resonance Ω≈ω8≈12(ω2+ω13), where the ωi are the natural frequencies of the plate and Ω is the excitation frequency. The results show that a low-amplitude high-frequency excitation can produce a high-amplitude low-frequency motion.

Concrete-Filled Steel Tube with high capacity, good ductility and toughness, convenient construction, good fire resistance and other advantages. Currently[1] . Concrete-Filled Steel Tube structure has been widely used in the basic components and the overall structure of behavioral research has made many achievements. There are many advantages of concrete pipe above, but it also has fatal flaws, Stainless steel steel that is the difference[2]. The stainless steel has a beautiful appearance, durability, corrosion resistance, low maintenance costs, good fire resistance and other advantages. New stainless steel pipe concrete structure has both ordinary steel concrete good mechanical properties and excellent durability of stainless steel, can be widely used in buildings and bridges of the marine environment as well as some of the high durability and aesthetic requirements important building structures. Based on the outer stainless steel hollow sandwich - the carbon steel pipe shaft of light pressure test concrete results of load and displacement of the structure, variation of load and strain, and the impact of the empty heart of these parameters.
