High-Density Distributed Crack Tip Sensing System Using Dense Ultra-Short FBG Sensors

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Crack generation starts at the crack tip, which bears the highest stress concentration. Under further stress, the crack propagates and leads to severe structural damage.

Reflective cracking behavior for traffic and temperature effects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
This paper presents a study on the influence of the effects of temperature variations, in comparison with traffic effects, on the reflective cracking overlay behavior. It is intended to contribute to the improvement of the pavement overlay design methods which consider reflective cracking as one among distress criteria.

Study on Composition Design and Performance Characteristics of Warm-Mixed Rubber–Asphalt Mixture for Cold-Region Stress Absorption Layers

open access: yesBuildings
Reflection cracks significantly compromise the service life of half-rigid asphalt pavements in cold regions. This study introduces SAKIII warm-mixed rubber–asphalt mixture (SAKIII WMRA Mix) as a stress absorption layer to address this issue.

Fatigue fracture surface analysis in C45 steel specimens using X-Ray fractography [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
X-Ray fractography is a useful technique to analyse the mechanisms operating in fracture and involves an examination of the fracture surface. In the present investigation, this technique has been employed to study the fatigue fracture behaviour of a ...

The Analysis of FBG Central Wavelength Variation with Crack Propagation Based on a Self-Adaptive Multi-Peak Detection Algorithm

open access: yesSensors, 2019
We propose a peak seeking algorithm to extract the damage characteristic-variation of central wavelength to monitor the crack damage status in aluminum alloy plates using surface bonded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors.

Neural Networks Modeling of Stress Growth in Asphalt Overlays due to Load and Thermal Effects during Reflection Cracking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Although several techniques have been introduced to reduce reflective cracking, one of the primary forms of distress in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlays of flexible and rigid pavements, the underlying mechanism and causes of reflective cracking are not yet

Continuous monitoring of an intentionally-manufactured crack using an automated welding and in-process inspection system

open access: yesMaterials & Design, 2020
Automated weld deposition coupled with the real-time robotic Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is used in this paper. For performance verification of the in-process inspection system, an intentionally embedded defect, a tungsten rod, is introduced into ...
