Large errors can be introduced in traditional acoustic emission (AE) source localization
methods using extracted signal features such as arrival time difference. This issue is obvious …

In the Netherlands, many prestressed concrete bridge girders are found to have insufficient
shear–tension capacity. We tested four girders taken from a demolished bridge and …

Cementitious brittle construction materials are susceptible to fracturing due to their
heterogeneous material composition and relatively weak bond between the aggregates and …

We investigate energy partitioning using seismological methods of seismic ruptures with
estimated submicron levels of slip in the laboratory. Estimates inferred from recorded …

Additive manufacturing transforms the industry by integrating innovative and intelligent
technology, resulting in less material waste and faster prototyping. However, qualitative …

Time-of-flight measurement is a critical step to perform ultrasonic non-destructive testing of
standing trees, with direct influence on the precision of defect detection. Aiming to increase …

This paper proposes a new damage identification method, namely, the probability density
field of acoustic emission (AE) events. This new method provides a different perspective to …

The interpretation of unlabeled acoustic emission (AE) data classically relies on general-
purpose clustering methods. While several criteria have been used in the past to select the …

While hydraulic fracturing (HF) is a widely employed process, the underlying fracturing
processes are still heavily contested. The attributes of the HF generated fracture network can …

Corrosion of the reinforcement is a major degradation mechanism affecting durability and
safety of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. As the corrosion process starts internally, it can …
