This paper presents a framework to update and predict crack length as a function of the
number of cycles in structural elements subjected to fatigue. The framework has two main …

This work investigates acoustic emission generated during tension fatigue tests carried out
on a carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite specimen. Since massive fatigue …

This paper presents a structural health monitoring methodology that uses acoustic emission
(AE) features to predict crack growth in structural elements subjected to fatigue. This allows …

The association of acoustic emission (AE) signals with crack growth behavior in the material
of interest is the basis for monitoring the fatigue damage of in-service steel structures with …

Vegetable oil is one of the most widely available renewable sources of energy that can be
used to meet the world's demands. Many vegetable oils also have the advantage of …

This paper describes an IBM and the University of Miami joint research project providing
infrastructure and application components to advance structural health monitoring of civil …

Acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is desirable to nondestructively detect fatigue damage in
steel bridges. Investigations of the relationship between AE signals and crack growth …

It is widely acknowledged that bearing failures are the primary reason for breakdowns in
rotating machinery. These failures are extremely costly, particularly in terms of lost …

Monitoring of fatigue cracking in steel bridge structures using a combined passive and active
scheme has been approached by the authors. Passive acoustic emission (AE) monitoring is …

Catastrophic failure of steel bridge components can occur if the fatigue cracks reach critical
levels. The purpose of the study described is to characterize the acoustic emission (AE) …
