摘要
Background, Motivation and Objective Concrete is a classic viscoelastic material, damping mechanism of which are affected greatly by viscoelastic properties. The viscoelasticity of the material is one of the mechanical properties of the damping mechanism. The elasticity of the material can cause the attenuation and scattering of the ultrasonic, the viscosity can cause the loss of energy. The static and dynamic viscoelastic are two different evaluation methods for the viscoelastic concrete material, respectively. The concrete is in a dynamic external pressure environment, so the dynamic mechanical properties compared with the static mechanical properties can reflect the performance of concrete in service. Statement of Contribution/Methods The paper presents the method for solving the ultrasonic attenuation coefficient, phase velocity and loss tangent value in the concrete according to the basic theory of viscoelastic properties, air-coupled ultrasonic testing and using loss angle tangent value as the evaluation parameter. The evaluation results of concrete dynamic viscoelastic are provided. Results The deformation, loss tangent increases and the proportion of the loss modulus increases with increasing of damage the concrete inside, but storage modulus decreased. Discussion and Conclusions The viscoelastic parameters of the concrete can be obtained; the change of concrete internal damage is monitored using the air coupling penetration method. Both of the concrete viscoelastic and concrete damage are considered, which provides a new method for concrete nondestructive.
