The growing interest in timber construction and using more wood for civil engineering
applications has given highlighted importance of developing non-destructive evaluation …

Acoustic emission monitoring is widely used for damage detection in materials research and
for site monitoring. Its use for masonry structures is however challenging due to the highly …

Many existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures are suffering from corrosion damage. The
development of reliable tools to characterise and localise such damage is essential to …

Literature on the crispy/crunchy behavior of cellular solid foods with a crust is discussed. The
emphasis is on products with a dry crispy or crunchy crust as bread and various snacks and …

Railways serve as a vital link for global trade and transportation in any country, but the rail
sections are susceptible to damage due to factors such as traffic, extreme environment, and …

Moisture is known to decrease the mechanical properties of brittle construction materials.
The present study focuses on the influence of moisture on the mechanical behavior of …

This paper reports on the monotonic and cyclic bending behaviour and damage evolution of
steel fibre reinforced concrete (SFRC), by three-point bending tests assessed with acoustic …

Almost all countries are using railways to transport passengers and freight. Due to heavy
