The importance of wireless sensor networks in structural health monitoring is unceasingly
growing, because of the increasing demand for both safety and security in the cities. The …

Metal fatigue is a typical industrial failure, and investigations on monitoring of fatigue cracks
are required. Therefore, in this study, we developed an exploratory study by proposing a …

Stress wave-based communication has great potential for succeeding in subsea
environments where many conventional methods would otherwise face excessive difficulty …

In order to improve the energy harvesting efficiency of the piezoelectric energy harvester
(PEH), we propose a multifunctional U-shaped piezoelectric coupled beam (MUPCB) that …

Piping systems are typical nonstructural components of a building. Previous investigations
have reported many cases that earthquake causes damages or failures of piping system …

In this paper, we find that the dynamic cone angle of a piezoceramic atomizer is linked to
periodic changes in the volume of the micro-cone hole of the atomizer, and such changes …

The leakage rate is an essential parameter for the risk assessment and failure analysis of
natural gas pipelines. The leakage rate of a natural gas pipeline should be calculated …

A space rack suffers from shock and broadband random loads during shipment and launch,
which may lead to irreversible damage until the spacecraft reaches final orbit. This paper …

The looseness monitoring of bolted joints is a significant issue to ensure structural integrity
and safety in the industrial field. This paper proposes a novel approach to monitor bolt …

In wireless power transmission systems, the inductance, equivalent resistance, and quality
factors of the coils are the main factors that influence the system's transmission efficiency …
