The wire and arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) process enables the creation and repair of
complex structures based on the successive deposition of fed metal in the form of a wire that …

Photonic sensing devices have become increasingly important in various fields such as
agriculture, medicine, biochemical sensing, and manufacturing. They are highly sensitive …

Temperature is an important environmental factor for long-span bridges because it induces
thermal loads on structural components that cause considerable displacements, stresses …

Abstract Structural Health Monitoring systems assess the part's current condition. This can
be performed with a monitoring system comprising sensors, on the surface or embedded, in …

This paper presents an automated Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) system for the in-service
inspection of orbital welds on tubular components operating at temperatures as high as 200° …

A new variant of friction stir processing named upward friction stir processing (UFSP) is a
promising approach to control particles' distribution and promote a more uniform distribution …

Surface metal matrix composites offer an excellent solution for applications where surface
properties play a crucial role in components' performance and durability, such as greater …

The dynamic process of the railway track–rolling stock interaction is characterized by time-
dependent dynamics that are determined by both the varying characteristics of the …

Embedded sensors (ESs) are used in smart materials to enable continuous and permanent
measurements of their structural integrity, while sensing technology involves developing …

Recent developments in networked and smart sensors have significantly changed the way
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and asset management are being carried out. Since the …
