Popis: A new Structural Health Monitoring system was developed to allow a faster introduction of 3D printed components into safety critical applications. Additive manufacturing techniques are used to embed capillaries in a 3D printed structure that are then pressurized. Continuous monitoring of the capillary pressure allows the system to indicate the existence of a crack when the pressure deviates from the initial pressure level. A specifically developed experimental set-up enables the study of the impact of different parameters on the leak flow behavior and the occurring Negative Pressure Waves. Negative Pressure Waves are analyzed to demonstrate the crack localization and crack size estimation feasibility. It will first be theoretically proven that the size and location of the crack can be derived from the Negative Pressure Waves. Secondly, measurements will validate the crack localization and size estimation feasibility of the new Structural Health Monitoring system.Copyright © 2015 by ASME
