La presente iniciativa tiene como propósito diseñar un piloto de Recarga artificial para el acuífero de Pan de Azúcar y Elqui Bajo. Esto significa seleccionar la localización óptima con criterios hidrogeológicos (capacidad de almacenamiento, niveles piezométricos, velocidad de recarga, transmisibilidad, modelo hidrogeológico de recarga, etc), hidrogeoquímicos (calidad del agua, interacción suelo-agua, factores antrópicos, etc), socio-económicos (salud de la población, productividad, empleo, etc) y ambientales (aspectos ambientales, impactos ambientales). Una vez seleccionada la localización, está será caracterizada. Para ello se utilizará información bibliográfica general y específica disponible. Parte importante de esta información ha sido generada por el equipo UCN que en los últimos años ha ejecutado proyectos estudiando los acuíferos costeros en la región. También se generará información complementaria, con campañas de caracterización y monitoreo, necesaria para la aplicación de los criterios establecidos. Con la información de caracterización se determinará la técnica de infiltración más adecuada a partir de criterios técnicos-científicos. Para esto se modelará hidrogeológicamente la efectividad en el corto, mediano y largo plazo de la infiltración definida. Finalmente, se realizará el diseño ingenieril a nivel de detalle de la planta piloto que permita la inyección artificial el acuífero.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

In order to improve this situation, it is proposed to use their interaction with elastic waves as a nonintrusive probe. The long-term aim of the research presented in this proposal is to enable the development of ultrasound technology as a practical non-intrusive tool for the characterization of plastic behavior of materials. In recent years, proposers have shown, using Resonant Ultrasound Spectroscopy (RUS), that an increase of dislocation density in aluminum by a factor of 6 leads to a change for the speed of shear waves on the order of 1%, a quantity that can be measured with an accuracy on the order of 0.1%. They have also shown that local measurements of the speed of shear waves in aluminum under standard testing conditions in tension provide a quantitative, accurate, nonintrusive and continuous relation between dislocation density and externally applied stress, and that an increase in dislocation density by a factor of ten in copper and aluminum leads to an increase in the value of the (nonlinear) parameter that characterizes second harmonic generation by 20 to 60%. This proposal seeks to go one more step towards a practical implementation of the proposed ultrasonic testing tool for pieces in service. Materials of wide use in industry, 304L steel and TWIP steel, will be used. And in addition to bulk ultrasonic and shear waves, surface Rayleigh waves will be tested, in order to develop techniques that are useful when pieces in service have a geometry that does not lend itself to bulk wave measurement. Both linear (wave propagation velocity and attenuation) and nonlinear (second harmonic generation) acoustics measurements will be performed, using bulk and surface waves, ex situ after mechanical treatment, and in situ under standard testing conditions. In addition, dislocation density will be measured using X-ray diffraction (XRD) , using both the modified Warren-Averbach and Rietveld methods. Additional characterization will be performed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The expected result of the proposed research is a set of measurements that relate acoustics parameters to dislocation density in 304L and TWIP steels. The specific goal is that these measurements will provide a framework for the development of devices to nondestructively measure the dislocation density of pieces in service.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649209804184{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center p-md-0 pt-5"][vc_column el_class="p-0"][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section][vc_section css=".vc_custom_1649210787516{background-color: #f6faff !important;}" el_class="p-md-0 pt-md-5 pb-md-5"][vc_row el_class="container mx-auto align-items-center"][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]
