Abstract: Structures made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) bars encased in seawater and sea-sand concrete (SSC) have received significant attention in recent years owing to the high corrosion resistance of FRP, and the environmental ...

Abstract: A microstructure-based finite element analysis model was developed to predict the effective elastic property of cellulose nanowhisker reinforced all-cellulose composite. Analysis was based on the ...

Abstract: Advancement on modeling, microstructure characterization, property measurement, and processing in polymer based advanced materials raised interest to integrated computational materials engineering. How ...

Abstract: Recently, the wavelet finite element has been introduced to solve wave propagation problems because of its outstanding compact support, multiscale, and multiresolution characteristics. In this research, the accuracy of a ...

Abstract: The damage monitoring and evaluation of a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)/steel–concrete hybrid box girder subjected to four-point bending is reported in this paper. The target is to integrate the improved mechanical behavior ...

Abstract: The rapid and accurate identification of steel strand tension is critical in ensuring the safety of load-bearing structures and structural members, such as bridge cables. Ultrasonic-guided waves (UGWs) have a reasonable ...

Abstract: Microstructure sensitive design was used in this study to design a textured soft magnet material to meet a range of magnetic properties. The evolution of microstructure and magnetic properties ...

Abstract: Shape sensing, which is the real-time monitoring of deformed shapes using discrete surface strain, is a fundamental approach to ensure structural safety, reliability, and affordability. Large deformation shape sensing is ...
