Experimental investigation on the cracking process of primary and secondary cracks in thick concrete members

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 514-527, February 2026.
Abstract The decisive reinforcement of thick concrete members is often determined by the minimum reinforcement for crack control due to restraint stresses. In contrast to the heuristic design model in Eurocode 2, a mechanically sound methodology is only provided if the deformation compatibility is considered.

Near‐Field Acoustic Imaging Using Fiber‐Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing and Beamforming Techniques

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 6, 30 January 2026.
This work introduces a beamforming‐based method to generate acoustic images from fiber‐optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) data. By performing 2D scanning around the sensing fiber, the approach enables near‐field imaging and localization of acoustic sources, even in regions distant from the fiber. A data‐driven DAS channel selection improves image

Numerical and Experimental Methods for Estimating the Propagation Loss in Microphotonic Waveguides

open access: yesAdvanced Photonics Research, Volume 6, Issue 12, December 2025.
Finite‐element finite‐difference time domain, eigenmode‐expansion, and volume‐current simulations are benchmarked against cut‐back, ring‐resonator, and OFDR measurements to quantify waveguide propagation loss in integrated photonic circuits. Scattering, absorption, leakage, and back‐reflection contributions are dissected; error sources are ranked; and ...

Tightly‐Confined and Long Z‐Cut Lithium Niobate Waveguide with Ultralow‐Loss

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 19, Issue 21, November 6, 2025.
A z‐cut lithium niobate waveguide is demonstrated with ultra‐low loss of 5.8 dB/m in a decimeter‐long LN spiral waveguide. This study is focused on Z‐cut LN waveguides with TE mode to avoid the material birefringence. Utilizing the third order nonlinearity, it is demonstrated that the first all‐normal‐dispersion coherent supercontinuum frequency comb ...

A MHz−Level Swept Source by Time Stretching the Shot−Noise Limited Supercontinuum Based on a Mode−Locked Laser and the Application in Optical Coherence Tomography

open access: yesLaser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 19, Issue 22, November 19, 2025.
This work pioneers a 5.7 MHz all−fiber mode−locked laser−based broadband swept−source OCT system, achieving record−breaking performance: 11.4 µm axial resolution and 119 mm detection range. The system demonstrates exceptional coherence and stability, overcoming traditional trade−off between imaging speed and detection range.

Deformation monitoring at shield tunnel joints: Laboratory test and discrete element simulation

open access: yesDeep Underground Science and Engineering, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 149-157, March 2025.
The optical frequency domain reflectometry technique is applied in laboratory tests to monitor the shear process and center settlement process of shield tunnel segments. Two kinds of quantitative calculation methods are put forward, and the discrete element numerical analysis method is utilized to verify these two methods.

Using the inverse finite‐element method to harmonise classical modal analysis with fibre‐optic strain data for robust population‐based structural health monitoring

open access: yesStrain, Volume 61, Issue 1, February 2025.
Abstract Vibration‐based approaches to structural health monitoring (SHM) gained increasing significance for assessing the behaviour of existing structures because of their non‐intrusive nature and high sensitivity to damage. However, data availability often limits the application of SHM approaches.

Design and Experimental Analysis of Heat‐Pipe‐Integrated Heat Exchanger for Heat Pipe Nuclear Microreactor

open access: yesInternational Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
With the advantages of high inherent safety, simple design, and small volume, the heat pipe reactor (HPR) is considered one of the nuclear power systems suitable for the distributed electricity generation market. The HPR transfers heat generated from the reactor core through heat pipes to an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) connected to power ...
