When using distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) on reinforced concrete structures, a
compromise must be achieved between the protection requirements and robustness of the …

This paper proposes a robust optimal sensor placement method for structural health
monitoring considering uncertainty. To avoid the deficiencies associated with scarce …

Due to the risk of failure induced by vibration fatigue, performance testing and condition
monitoring are important to hydraulic pi** systems in some critical industries such as …

Wind turbines are a cost-effective alternative energy source; however, their blades are
susceptible to damage. Therefore, damage detection of wind turbine blades is of great …

In this paper, a novel pendulum-type accelerometer based on hetero-core fiber optics has
been proposed for structural health monitoring targeting large-scale civil infrastructures …

To verify the performance of a basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) fiber-encapsulated
long-gauge strain sensor in railway bridge health monitoring, this paper studies the fatigue …

The evolution of a water column pulled by a partially submerged sphere, known as the water
exit problem, is evaluated by numerical simulation. The lattice Boltzmann method was …

The Plateau-Rayleigh instability causes the fragmentation of a liquid ligament into smaller
droplets. In this study a numerical study of this phenomenon based on a single relaxation …

Ships often operate under challenging conditions, considering that marine environment can
cause failures of the structure related to overloads, fatigue, corrosion and erosion. As a …

The evaluation of electromagnetic (EM) behaviour of tokamak components under disruption
loads and its correlation with vertical instabilities is critical and characterizing the design …
