Inspection reliability of small-scale defects, targeting dimensions below 100 µm, is crucial for
structural safety of critical components in high-value applications. Early defects are often …

Austenitic stainless steels (ASS) are extensively employed in various sectors such as
nuclear, power, petrochemical, oil and gas because of their excellent structural strength and …

Pipeline integrity and safety depend on the detection and prediction of stress corrosion
cracking (SCC) and other defects. In oil and gas pipeline systems, a variety of corrosion …

The fracturing properties and acoustic characteristics of heterogeneous and matrix-inclusion
rocks are crucial to the safety of underground infrastructures and mining projects under …

Stress field evaluation, through fringe order maps, has always been of great importance in
various engineering domains, providing essential insights into the mechanical response of …

Acoustic Emission (AE) and Guided Ultrasonic Waves (GUWs) are non-destructive testing
(NDT) methods in several industrial sectors for, eg, proof testing and periodic inspection of …

Acoustic emission (AE) was used for in-situ filiform corrosion (FFC) monitoring on coated
AA77075-T6. The analysis of AE data using DBSCAN as clustering algorithm (validated by …

There is extensive evidence in the literature that plastic deformation of metals is associated
with an increase in Acoustic Emission (AE) activity. Thus, AE measurement techniques have …

Corrosion-fatigue is considered to be one of the main degradation mechanisms affecting the
structural integrity of offshore support structures. This paper presents a feasibility …

This study investigates the impact of intermediate (σ 2) and minimum (σ 3) principal stress
unloading on damage behavior and the confining pressure influence on crack initiation …
