Survey of Analytical Methods for Corrosion Prediction Workshop on Corrosion Management for Sustainable Bridges December 10-12, U of Akron

Corrosion Analysis: A Black Art Electro-Chemical (“Physics-based”) Procedural Models Controlled Lab Experiments use Empirical Data Fits for Narrow Statistical Predictions, Uncontrolled Field Data use Data Base Mining for Board Statistical Predictions, Heuristic Data turn to mystics, soothsayers, consultants, and Employ those who practice “AI” (Data Analytics) 2

Data Analytics Approach Dimensions (Inputs), X i : Measures (Outputs), Y j : Methods (Techniques), f k : 3 YjYj X1X1 X2X2 X3X3 X4X4 X5X5 X6X6 X7X7 X8X8 X9X9 X 10 fkfk j Y j = f k (x i )
4
Corrosion Modeling Inputs Initial Conditions / State, Time Interval, Detailed 3-D Geometry, Material, Coating System (including Surface Prep), and Micro-environment at Surface (e.g., electrolyte and its properties) Macro Environment / Geographic Location Maintenance and Operating Profile (Dimensions)

Predictive Analytics Methods ANOVA Weibull Analysis Monte Carlo Bayesian Networks Naïve Bayes Markov Model/Chains Neural Nets Genetic Algorithms 6 Procedural (Physics- based: mechanical, electro-chemical, etc.) Decision Trees Rule-based Production Systems Linear/Logarithmic Regression Time Series
7
Physics-based Predictions Volume-Discretisation Techniques: Finite Element Method Finite Difference Method Finite Volume Method
8
Physics-based BEA/BIE Method Assume Bulk Region of the Electrolyte valid at Surface Integral equation is the exact solution: Use Faraday's law for boundary motion to surface flux. Use BCs (Polarization Curves) to fit boundary values into the integral equation, rather than values throughout the space Calculate Green’s Functions Integrate over the Source and Field Patches Galerkin Method (MoM) if Source and Field are the Same Newton-Raphson iterative method for equilibrium at each step. Boundary Element Method/Boundary Integral Equation
9
Advantages of BEM/BIE BEM/BIE used because Potential and Current Density on the surface of corroding materials is of prime concern Sound Mathematical Foundation (e.g. LaPlace Equation in bulk region of the Electrolyte) Can incorporate other physical phenomenon impacting corrosion such as: Stress (in elastic range), and Impressed Current Cathodic Protection Can Relate Metal Loss to Current Density
10
Disadvantages of BEM/BIE Nonlinear relationship exists between the current density and the potential in double layer region close to corroding surface, Need detailed Polarization Curves for every micro- environment to be encountered used as BCs since Laplace equation only applicable to bulk electrolyte Non-linearities (e.g., non-linear Polarization Curves) will reduce the efficiency of the method. Polarization Curves are particular to each specimen, electrolytic environment, stress, time, and other factors, such as temperature and concentration. 3-D geometry require assumptions on extended 2-D/ axisymmetric equations to complex 3-D geometries.
11
Empirical Models via Lab Data Use Standard Form Equation: Polynomial Fit for 3 parameters A, B, C: Where: 0 = Average Response of CR 1.. 7 = Coefficients associated with variables A, B and C and their interactions Use ANOVA for Main, Interaction and Variance

Uncontrolled Test Data Models Markoff Chains NPMLE (Non-parametric Maximum Likelihood Estimation): Turnbull Analysis If Data is Incomplete (groupings, censoring and/or truncation) Requires an Iterative Algorithm Parametric Failure/Reliability Prediction: Weibull Multi-variant Analysis: Cox Hazard Neural Networks
