Corrosion can cause serious damage, which leads to large economic loss, sometimes
combined with environmental pollution, or risk of personnel injuries. Today, corrosion has a …

In metallic, reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PC) structures, corrosion is
one of the main problems which adversely affects its service life. Therefore, structural health …

It is crucial to monitor the real-time strength development of early-age concrete, which is
related to the structure safety and construction efficiency of concrete. This paper proposed a …

Sulfate-induced deterioration can reduce the service life of a concrete structure. A coupled
chemo-transport-damage model for external sulfate attack is developed, which predicts the …

In the electromechanical impedance-based technique, the selection of proper impedance
features and frequency bands has played a significant role in enhancing the results of …

This paper performed a numerical simulation on corrosion damage identification using
embedded piezoceramic (PZT) transducers. Three-dimensional finite element (FE) model of …

For centuries, bolted fastening has been widely used in aerospace, civil and mechanical
engineering areas to achieve joining of parts. However, studies have shown that vibration …

In this study, the authors presented a smart sensing method for monitoring and evaluating
the early-age hydration and hardening process of cement mortar through the integration of …

The traditional monitoring methods can only give warnings for the bolts with severe
looseness. However, it is essential for the safety of bolted joints to detect the looseness of …

The corrosion of small-diameter pipes has resulted in numerous significant accidents and
substantial economic losses in both industrial and civil sectors. This paper presents a …
