AbstractIn this paper, a methodical approach for the in-situ monitoring of the mechanical wear of electrical conductors is presented. The state of life can be assessed by means of the characteristic attenuation of an applied high-frequency alternating current. The advantages of this approach include its non-destructive nature and the applicability to installed and otherwise inaccessible conductors.

Die optische Kohärenztomographie (OCT) erlaubt die zerstörungsfreie In-situ-Überwachung der Einschweißtiefe beim Laserstrahlschweißen. Für dieses Verfahren wird hier der Einfluss von verringerten Umgebungsdrücken auf die Messqualität untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, dass sich bei niedrigerem Umgebungsdruck deutlich größere Signalanteile aus dem Bereich des Bodens der Dampfkapillare zurückerhalten lassen. Auf diese Weise steigen die effektive Messfrequenz und die Erkennbarkeit von Änderungen der Einschweißtiefe.   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables non-destructive in-situ monitoring of the weld penetration depth during laser beam welding. For this technology, the influence of reduced ambient pressures on the measurement quality is investigated. It is shown that significantly larger signal components are obtained from the bottom of the vapor capillary at lower ambient pressure increasing the applicable measurement frequency and the detectability of changes in the weld penetration depth.

The Stability

One of the difficult issues in underground mining is the ground control of roadway subject to mining induced stresses. As a longwall face advances, the state of initial stresses dramatically changes. Accordingly, lateral abutment pressure forms on the pillar and frontal abutment pressure on the roof and lateral sides of the roadway. These pressures will lead to severe deformation and deterioration of the rock mass surrounding the entries. In this paper, a systemic study on this issue is proposed using the combination of numerical modeling and in-situ monitoring which was carried out at a coal mine in the Lu.An Group, China. The condition of stress redistribution caused by mining-induced stresses and the state of the surrounding rock mass of the roadway situated in front the work face are systematically investigated. Different patterns of support and reinforcement as well as their effects on the stability of the roadway are also presented.

The use of remote sensing methods for environmental monitoring of the surface water quality is proved. Regression relationships are consistent with ground-based measurements at sampling sites in water bodies and are an effective tool for assessing the ecological status of water bodies. The state of the water bodies of the Mokra Sura river basin varies considerably. The best is the water quality in the upper part of the Mokra Sura river, the worst – in the middle and lower parts. The factors of water pollution are discharges of not enough treated wastewater of industrial enterprises of the Kamyans’koy and Dniprovs’koy industrial agglomeration. The purpose of our search included the following tasks: (a) calculation of integrated environmental water quality indices; b) obtaining satellite information, processing of multispectral satellite images of water bodies using appropriate applied software techniques; c) establishment of statistical dependencies between water quality indexes obtained for biotopically space images and data of actual in situ measurements. The results of systematic hydrochemical control of the Mokra Sura river basin from 2007 to 2011 years were initial data in 4 control areas located in the Dnipropetrovsk region: 1 – the Sursko-Litovske village; 2 – the Bratske village; 3 – the Novomykolayvka village; 4 – the Novooleksandryvka village. Environmental assessment of the water quality of the Mokra Sura river within the Dnipropetrovsk region was based on the calculation the integrated environmental index ( IEI ). Priority pollutants in this case are oil products and ions 2−SO 4, 2 + Mg , 2 + Zn , 6 + Cr . Two images with a difference in three years in April 2015 and May 2017 were used to determine the current changes in the land cover of the study area. Geomorphological assessment of the water network of the Morka Sura river was performed using satellite radar interferometry. Multispectral images of Landsat 5/TM (2007-2011) and Sentinel 2B/MSI (2017) satellite systems were used forremote assessment of water bodies in the study area of the Mokra Sura river basin. The multispectral index TCW (Tasseled Cap Wetness) was used to measure the spectral reflection of the aquatic environment along of the Mokra Sura river flow. The main advantage of the studies is a demonstration of remote sensing capabilities to estimate Mokra Sura river ecological status not only in individual sites, but also throughout the flow – from source to mouth. Follow the necessity to use water from the Mokra Sura river for irrigation, the level of soil water erosion can only increase and enhance the negative processes of eutrophication of reservoirs. Long term technogenic pollution requires information about the state of surface water of fishery, drinking and municipal water use facilities as an integral part of the aquatic ecosystem, the habitat of aquatic organisms and as a resource of drinking water supply. Over 80% of the Mokra Sura river basin surface (IEI 4-12) belong to the classes with the assessment of dirty, very and extremely dirty. The results of studies using remote sensing indicate the need to reduce the streams of not enough treated wastewater to the the Mokra Sura river. The obtained data can be used for ecological assessment of the current and retrospective state of water bodies, development of forecasts of rivers pollution.

In this work, we demonstrate the application of differential reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) to monitor the growth of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) using chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The growth process, optical properties, and structure evolution of MoS2 were recorded by in-situ DRS. Indeed, blue shifts of the characteristic peak B were discussed with the decrease of temperature. We also obtained the imaginary part of the MoS2 dielectric constant according to reflectance spectra. This method provides an approach for studying the change of two-dimensional (2D) materials’ dielectric constant with temperature. More importantly, our work emphasizes that the DRS technique is a non-destructive and effective method for in-situ monitoring the growth of 2D materials, which is helpful in guiding the preparation of 2D materials.

Abstract To understand snow structure and snowmelt timing, information about flows of liquid water within the snowpack is essential. Models can make predictions using explicit representations of physical processes, or through parameterization, but it is difficult to verify simulations. In situ observations generally measure bulk quantities. Where internal snowpack measurements are made, they tend to be destructive and unsuitable for continuous monitoring. Here, we present a novel method for in situ monitoring of water flow in seasonal snow using the electrical self-potential (SP) geophysical method. A prototype geophysical array was installed at Col de Porte (France) in October 2018. Snow hydrological and meteorological observations were also collected. Results for two periods of hydrological interest during winter 2018–19 (a marked period of diurnal melting and refreezing, and a rain-on-snow event) show that the electrical SP method is sensitive to internal water flow. Water flow was detected by SP signals before it was measured in conventional snowmelt lysimeters at the base of the snowpack. This initial feasibility study shows the utility of the SP method as a non-destructive snow sensor. Future development should include combining SP measurements with a high-resolution snow physics model to improve prediction of melt timing.

The paper is concerned with the technical aspects of the appraisal and retrofitting process of fire damaged reinforced concrete structures. The assessment of fire damaged structures is carried out along lines similar to those of the appraisal of existing structures. In practice, constructions are most often assessed by destructive tests in-situ and on core bore specimens. In addition to destructive tests, damaged structures are also assessed by non-destructive ones. The present paper shows the use of non-destructive methods of measurement using the acoustic-emission and impact-echo methods. Acoustic emission provides valuable data on the structural integrity of a material. This method has a significant potential to be used for in-situ monitoring and evaluation of the current state of structures. An impact-echo method is based on impact-generated stress waves that propagate through concrete and are reflected by internal flaws and external surfaces. Impact-echo can be used to determine the location and extent of flaws such as crack delamination, voids, honeycombing and deboning in plain, reinforced, and post-tensioned concrete structures. The paper presents a possible rehabilitation plan based on the potential results obtained by these non-destructive methods.
