Damage tolerance design approach such as the fatigue crack propagation approach
provides a more realistic solution for fatigue problems in concrete to overcome the …

Persistent cracking and progressive damage can weaken the operational performance of
structures such as bridges, dams, and concrete buildings. Consequently, research into …

Ultrasonic fatigue testing (USFT) is a time-efficient method for evaluation of the fatigue limit
of metallic alloys in a high and very high cycle range. Propagation of a final crack at the very …

The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of two different optical
measurement techniques (digital image correlation—DIC and electronic speckle pattern …

Ultrasonic fatigue testing (USFT) is an effective method for the rapid characterisation of the
high cycle fatigue properties of structural materials. However, the process of initiation and …

Coating sensors are used for high-precision monitoring of fatigue cracks in steel bridges.
However, the time-variation temperature has a considerable impact on the monitoring …

A rotating shaft supported by bearings over which a disc is attached concentric to it, as a
single unit is called a rotor, which forms the basis of functions of many machine systems. A …

Fatigue cracks are common in steel bridges. For the real-time monitoring of fatigue cracks
during the service of steel bridges, this study proposes a coating sensor for fatigue crack …

Potential difference methods are widely accepted as means to detect and monitor cracks in
safety critical components. This paper investigates the capability of the potential difference …

The sensitivity analysis model is widely used to describe the impacts of condition
parameters on structural reliability. However, the classical sensitivity analysis model is …
