Comparing In Situ DIC Results from an Etched Surface with a Gold Speckled Surface

Metals, 2019
A ferrite-pearlite two-phase steel was investigated using in situ scanning electron microscope (SEM) tensile testing combined with digital image correlation (DIC). Two different speckled patterns were used and compared.

Thermography Investigation and Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of a Historical Vaulted Masonry Building

Heritage, 2022
Typically, historical masonry constructions were only designed due to gravity loads. The structural detailing, aimed at improving the seismic performance, was introduced thanks to the advancement in performance-based seismic design approaches in recent ...

In situ toxicity testing of Lake Orta sediments

Journal of Limnology, 2001
The use of in situ assays, which was initially proposed by Nebeker et al. (1984), is presently recognised as an effective tool to study the effects of contaminated sediments (Burton 1992).

Characterisation of Ground Thermal and Thermo-Mechanical Behaviour for Shallow Geothermal Energy Applications

Energies, 2017
Increasing use of the ground as a thermal reservoir is expected in the near future. Shallow geothermal energy (SGE) systems have proved to be sustainable alternative solutions for buildings and infrastructure conditioning in many areas across the globe ...

Assessing the Relationship between Measurement Length and Accuracy within Steady State Co-Heating Tests

Buildings, 2017
Evidence of a fabric performance gap has underlined the need for measurements of in situ building performance. Steady state co-heating tests have been used since the 1980s to measure whole building heat transfer coefficients, but are often cited as ...

Remote condition monitoring of rail tracks using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS): A deep CNN-LSTM-SW based model

Green Energy and Intelligent Transportation
Railroad condition monitoring is paramount due to frequent passage through densely populated regions. This significance arises from the potential consequences of accidents such as train derailments, hazardous materials leaks, or collisions which may have

Structural Analysis of Power Devices and Assemblies by Thermal Transient Measurements

Energies, 2019
Power modules composed of semiconductor dice, thermal interface layers, and cooling mounts can be characterized by thermal transient testing at their actual position (in situ). This paper demonstrates that transient testing enables tracking of changes in

In-Situ Hollow Sample Setup Design for Mechanical Characterisation of Gaseous Hydrogen Embrittlement of Pipeline Steels and Welds

Metals, 2021
This work discusses the design and demonstration of an in-situ test setup for testing pipeline steels in a high pressure gaseous hydrogen (H2) environment. A miniature hollow pipe-like tensile specimen was designed that acts as the gas containment volume
