SteelQuad: Steel Quality Sensing Device (week 5)

lexbryan

I interviewed a few civil engineers about the curing process in construction. I decided to cure the cement for 14 days and take the inductance reading after. I still haven't started the experiment coz I’m waiting for the approval of my needed materials. Hope to be approved by next week.

  • I can't get my head around your idea. From my point of view, you will try to evaluate metal quality where you can assess it by means of measuring it's effect to inductive coil.
    My question is how can you get any usefull information about metal properties based on permeability, if different compositions and other fact will alter greatly your measurement. In the  over words, you will be measuring something that is function of many things, and you can't control or know about them. as example you will measure L(μ), but μ is function of many variables, so what you end up is L(μ(x,y,z,t,f)). Or maybe i just don't understand how you are going to achieve your goal

    It's not  the metal properties you've mentioned that I'm planning to get on this study. If you read week 1 post, I stated there that this is for building construction purposes. Therefore I'm only planning to get rebar grade # and diameter and maybe it's strength. But sure, it's worth looking for ways to get those metal properties you've mentioned but I don't have the resources and time to do that during the road test. maybe afterwards.

     

    thanks.
