Revealing the Proximity of Concrete Specimens to Their Critical Damage Level by Exploring the Cumulative Counts of the Acoustic Emissions in the Natural Time Domain

Dimos Triantis,
Ermioni D. Pasiou,
Ilias Stavrakas
et al.

Abstract: This study aims to explore the possibility of detecting indices that could potentially provide warning about the proximity of internal damage to critical levels, beyond which catastrophic fracture is impending. In this direction, advantage was taken of the Cumulative Counts that were recorded during the mechanical loading of specimens made of either plain or fiber-reinforced concrete. The parameter adopted for the analysis was the average rate of change in the Cumulative Counts. Τhe evolution of the specific p… Show more

“…Varotsos PA et al [24] discussed that the parameters under natural time analysis are such that it is possible to extract as much information as possible from complex system time series for earthquake prediction. Triantis D et al [25] explored the possibility of detecting indices through a discussion of parameter-specific variations in the natural time domain, showing that the evolution of the average rate of change of the cumulative counts in the natural time domain of impending catastrophe provides an indicator of whether or not the applied load is approaching the value at which the specimen enters the critical state of impending fracture. Triantis D et al [26] analyzed the acoustic emissivity based on the natural time concept and analyzes the experimental data of cementitious materials under three-point bending, concluding that if the acoustic activity is described with the help of Ffunctions in the natural time domain, its evolution is governed by a power law independent of the geometrical details and of the type of loading scheme, and that the validity of this law seems to provide an interesting pre-failure indicator.…”
