The composites patch is an effective method to repair metal and composite parts while
keeping the weight of repaired structures almost constant. This review focuses on the …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their distinctive
properties that are superior to those of traditional alloys. This review study investigates the …

The repair/reinforcement of construction structures have been a challenge due to hydration
termination of cement-based materials in an ultra-low temperature environment. This work …

Many manufacturing processes involve flow and cure of polymeric materials and
development of sensors to detect these phenomena in situ and in real-time is important to …

Active sensing using ultrasonic guided waves (UGW) is widely investigated for monitoring
possible damages in composite structures. Recently, a novel diagnosed film based on a …

This article describes research that investigated the ability of a carbon nanotube (CNT)
sensor to detect and monitor fatigue crack initiation and propagation in metal structures. The …

Composite patches are widely accepted as a useful practice for the repair of cracked aircraft
components and the repair method is of vital importance to the final performance of the …

Distortion-induced fatigue cracks represent the majority of fatigue cracks in steel bridges in
the United States. Currently, bridge owners, such as the state departments of transportation …

A novel electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique is developed to create uniform coatings
of functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on non-conductive fabrics. EPD enables the …

Multifunctional sensing layer (MSL) integrated with multiple sensors and transducers has
