Integrating measurement and monitoring data into simulation workflows - Part 2
Archiving of data sets in the NDT (Non-destructive Testing)
Generic and standardized data formats are an essential basis for achieving the digitization of NDE in the sense of NDE 4.0. These allow manufacturer-independent data exchange and guarantee the use of data sets for decades to come. This goal has led to various attempts at implementation over the last few decades, only a few of which are still in use today. One standard that is widely used is the DICONDE data format. In this article, the requirements of the NDE with regard to data formats are presented, possible solutions are shown and current application possibilities but also current limitations of DICONDE are discussed.
Ultrasonic Guided Waves data in SHM design
Over the last years a lot of scientific work has been done in the field of structural health monitoring (SHM) systems. Instead of checking structures at regular intervals during a maintenance, future structures will be equipped with online monitoring systems. SHM also offers the possibility of saving weights going along with other advantages, e.g., decreasing fuel consumption in vehicle applications. In the case of thin-walled lightweight structures as they are commonly used for aerospace applications, SHM concepts based on ultrasonic guided waves are very promising. But large experimental efforts are needed to bring SHM systems into application. Read more here...
Scalable principles for integration pipelines of sensor data and simulations using knowledge graphs
Providing FAIR data internally and externally is currently an important challenge for industry. VMAP, as a data standard for the transfer of data between engineering simulation tools, addresses interoperability and for the simulation domain, not unlike some standards do for sensors. We consider VMAP as part of a broader landscape: data is context-dependently required in different forms – but identity and meaning of the data itself does not change! At the example of one scalable VMAP processing architecture, we provide an overview that highlights important principles for integration of distributed data in a FAIR open world approach.
