Methods / Service
Ultrasound
- Air-coupled Ultrasound inspection
- Ultrasound in transmission, e.g. for determination of elastic properties (Young’s modulus, porosity, etc.)
- Ultrasound in reflection
- Detection of flaws (cracks, voids, honeycombing)
Industrial Computer Tomography (CT)
- Analysis of items related to construction, mechanical engineering, art, aircraft, automotive and historical objects
Infrared-Thermography (active / passive)
- Detection of near-surface damage
- Detection of moisture
RADAR (Georadar)
- Localization of flaws or moisture
- Analysis of layered components
Acoustic emission analysis
- Detection of damages (cracks, delamination)
- Representation of spatiotemporal damage development
- Localization (1D, 2D, 3D); automatic localization
- Analysis of damage parameters with inversion methods (fragment size, type, location of the fracture surfaces)
Modal and vibration analysis
- Determination of modal parameters (e.g. resonance frequency, logarithmic decrement, frequency response) even contact-free (laser vibrometry
- Determination of material properties from cement, grout, glass, ceramic, metal, polymer and other basic material
- Measuring of flexural, torsional and longitudinal vibration signal
- Determination of Young´s moduls
- Determination of bulk modulus
- Determination of shear modulus
- Determination of Poisson´s ratio (lateral contracton)
- Acoustic resonance analysis (sound check) for the detection of flaws
