Multi‐level fatigue reliability assessment of reinforced concrete railway bridges

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a multi‐level reliability framework for assessing the fatigue life of reinforced concrete (RC) railway trough bridges subjected to cyclic loading. The framework incorporates increasing levels of analytical complexity and real‐world data in four steps. First, an analytical model applies S–N curves and the Palmgren–Miner rule

Drone‐based radiotelemetry and imagery systems provide an advantage over traditional techniques for estimating survival of dependent juveniles

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used drone‐based radiotelemetry and multispectral imagery to estimate detection and survival probabilities of blue‐winged teal broods in Saskatchewan, Canada. Weekly brood survival probabilities, estimated via Cormack‐Jolly‐Seber models, increased with age and were comparable between drone methods.

Non‐Destructive Inspection of TCPs Using Pulse‐Echo Ultrasound and X‐Ray Microcomputed Tomography Techniques

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs) have potential applications in offshore oil and gas industries because of their strength, lack of corrosion, and flexibility. Designed for fluid transportation in high‐pressure and high‐temperature environments, manufacturing defects and operational loads can compromise their performance.

Arc Resistance Enhancement of Converter Transformer Tank Through Structural Improvements: Simulation and Experimental Validation

open access: yesHigh Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Currently, limited research exists on the structural response and protection methods of the converter transformer tank for ± 800 kV ultra‐high voltage direct current transmission project to high energy arc faults. This research investigates the dynamic response and the vulnerable areas of the ultra‐high voltage converter transformer under the ...
