Cryogenic temperature has been widely recognized as one of the extreme environments for
the application of concrete. Exposures to the cryogenic temperature may remarkably …

Fatigue, corrosion, and bolt loosening are the main causes of structural performance
degradation and collapse in steel bridges. Accurate monitoring of steel bridge diseases is a …

Lamb wave propagating behavior in woven glass fiber reinforced epoxy (WGF/epoxy)
composite laminates was studied by simulation and experiment. A 3D finite element (FE) …

This article presents an approach to identify naturally developed damage in low-speed
bearings using waveform-similarity-based clustering of acoustic emissions (AEs) under …

The multimodal and dispersive character of ultrasonic guided waves (UGW) offers the
potential for non-destructive evaluation of fiber-reinforced composite (FRC) materials. In this …

Orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) have been widely used as a crucial load-bearing
structures in long-span bridges,. However, the weld connections in OSDs are susceptible to …

Structural adhesive joints have numerous applications in many fields of industry. The
gradual deterioration of adhesive material over time causes a possibility of unexpected …

Fatigue cracks in rib-to-deck joints of orthotropic steel decks (OSDs) endanger the safety of
bridges and are difficult to detect. This paper proposes to monitor fatigue cracks using …

Orthotropic steel bridge decks (OSDs) are prone to fatigue cracking under vehicle cyclic
loads, and hence, fatigue crack monitoring is important, especially for the identification of …

Functionally graded material is a new class of composite materials with gradually varying
material contents. In this article, a two-dimensional axisymmetric time-domain spectral finite …
