Potential drop measurements are routinely used in the non-destructive evaluation of
component integrity. Potential drop measurements use either direct current (DC) or …

This paper will demonstrate the use of a potential drop sensor to monitor strain. In particular,
the suitability of the technique to high temperature or harsh environment applications …

The potential drop method (PDM) is employed for defect detection in conductive specimens
by measuring the change in impedance. Due to its ability to comprehensively monitor large …

Welds of high-temperature pressurised components act as preferential sites for creep
damage accumulation and will frequently be the life limiting feature. Type IV failures, where …

Currently, structural health monitoring (SHM) systems are not in widespread use for
monitoring civil structures because of low defect sensitivity and high cross-sensitivities of …

Corrosion of metals in the presence of high temperature flue gases and deposits has long
been a challenge in boilers, furnaces and industrial process plants. The maximum …

For practical engineering applications creep occurs in an inherently harsh, high-temperature
environment. There is a strong industry demand for continuous measurements to allow a …
