Structural health monitoring technology can assess the status and integrity of structures in
real time by advanced sensors, evaluate the remaining life of structure, and make the …

Bolted joint are among the key components that enable the robust assembly of a wide
variety of structures. However, due to wear and tear over time, bolted joint may loosen, and if …

Efficacious monitoring the mechanical stress of engineering structures or components holds
the key to understanding the occurrence of structural damage in Structural Health Monitoring …

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), a composite material with high corrosion resistance and
high strength-to-weight ratio, has been increasingly used in reinforced concrete structures …

In this paper, we develop a stress wave-based active-sensing approach using piezoceramic
transducers to detect the bolt looseness-induced damage in steel truss arch structures. A …

Piezoelectric sensors and actuators are the bridge between electronic and mechanical
systems in structures. This type of sensor is a key element in the integrity monitoring of …

In this paper, a new embeddable spherical smart aggregate (SSA) was utilized to monitor
concrete curing in very early age. Overcoming the limitation of the existing PZT-patch-based …

Structural health monitoring (SHM) systems with damage detection based on the
electromechanical impedance (EMI) method have received attention in recent decades …

We present a structural health monitoring system based on the simultaneous use of passive
and active sensing. The passive approach is based on acoustic emission, whereas the …

This paper presents a performance assessment of macro fiber composite (MFC) sensors for
measuring acoustic emission (AE) signals from partial discharges (PD) in power …
