Fluorescence Characteristic Analysis for Discriminating Fibers in Cementitious Composites
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper investigated the fluorescence properties of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) fibers, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) fibers, Polyethylene (PE) fibers, and a cement-based matrix by using a spectrofluorometer. Optimal excitation and emission filters were also proposed to discriminate each synthetic fiber in the hybrid Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) by a multispectral fluorescence-imaging model and a Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). The experimental test results showed that the PVA fiber, PET fiber, and PE fiber used in the hybrid ECC had a unique fluorescence characteristic with a peak. On the other hand, the cement-based matrix showed a little fluorescence intensity. The optimal excitation and emission filters of a multispectral imaging system for detecting fibers in the hybrid ECC are presented here as continuous forms. The selective optimum excitation and emission wavelengths that showed maximum relative transmission are 360-389 nm, 400-445 nm, 360-390 nm, and 360-389 nm for the PVA-PET, PVA-PE, PET-PE, and PVA-PET-PE fiber reinforced cementitious composites, respectively.
