Nuclear containment structures employ a leak-tight steel liner to avoid any unwanted particle
release into the exterior environment. The steel liner can be embedded in concrete which …

Accidental impacts may induce impact fatigue damage in carbon fiber reinforced plastic
(CFRP) composite and the progressive fatigue damage is difficult to detect by traditional non …

Water-saturated cellulose microfibers (CMFs) incorporated into fresh cement composites
can facilitate the internal curing, holding a potential for mitigating intrinsic material defects …

With the increase of aggregate quarrying to meet the growing need for concrete construction
comes a risk associated with new aggregate sources, which may not have uniform …

Superalloy IN718 components manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB/M) were
non-destructively evaluated by the sideband peak counting (SPC) nonlinear acoustics …

This paper summarizes the results of research aimed at assessing cracks in reinforced
concrete structures using embedded ultrasonic sensors. The diffuse ultrasonic waves were …

In this study, the initiation and development of alkali–silica reaction (ASR) in concrete prisms
containing reactive coarse (RCA) and reactive fine (RFA) aggregates were monitored over …

Nonlinearity of damaged materials is often assumed to be correlated with the cumulative
length of micro-cracks discounting the influence of crack width and roughness. To …

We demonstrate an integrated non-destructive inspection methodology that employs the
nonlinear ultrasonics-based sideband peak counting (SPC) technique in conjunction with …

Water-saturated cellulose microfibers (CMFs) incorporated into fresh cement composites
can mitigate microcracking induced by self-desiccation during drying. This study utilized a …
