Damage Assessment of Nanostructures [PDF]
Key Engineering Materials, 2007 In this paper the damage assessment of nanostructures is discussed. As an example we assess the damage of nanobeams with non destructive dynamical resonance or destructive tensile tests: a small number of nanocracks, i.e., ~10, with length of ~1nm, is accordingly estimated.

Principal component analysis and perturbation theory–based robust damage detection of multifunctional aircraft structure [PDF]
, 2013 A fundamental problem in structural damage detection is to define an efficient feature to calculate a damage index. Furthermore, due to perturbations from various sources, we also need to define a rigorous threshold whose overtaking indicates the ...

Nondestructive Investigation of Stress-Induced Damage in Concrete
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2010 The changes in the sonic surface wave velocity of concrete under stress were investigated in this paper. Surface wave velocities at sonic frequency range were measured on a prismatic concrete specimen undergoing several cycles of uniaxial compression ...

Optimization of Coastal Protections in the Presence of Climate Change
Frontiers in Climate, 2021 It is generally acknowledged that interdependent critical infrastructure in coastal urban areas is constantly threatened by storm-induced flooding. Due to changing climate effects, such as sea level rise (SLR), the occurrence of catastrophic events will ...
