The current work experimentally determined how the initial resistance and gauge factor in
additively manufactured piezoresistive sensors are affected by the material, design, and …

The objective of this study was to investigate the influences of the main parameters of friction
stir welding (FSW) on the residual stresses remained in the FSW of Al 2024-T6. The main …

In order to prepare cement concrete with high mechanical properties and durability, nano-
stainless steel powder reactive powder cement concrete (RPC) was manufactured. The …

Piezoelectric (PZT) sensors employed in the electro-mechanical impedance/admittance
(EMI/EMA) technique are vulnerable to temperature variations when applied to concrete …

This work deals with the evaluation of adhesive single-lap joints using ultrasound guided
waves; in particular, it is intended to characterize the signal propagation when defects are …

Stockouts constitute a major challenge in the retail industry. Stockouts are caused by errors
related to manual stockkeeping and by the misplacement of items on shelves. Such errors …

Friction stir welding was performed on AA2024-T6 aluminum plates using different rotation
and traverse speeds with the objective of improving the mechanical strength and …

Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are ideally suited to be employed for damage sensing in fiber rein-
forced composite structures. In this work, the capability of CNTs for crack extension of a …

In this study, nanofibers obtained through the electrospinning process are explored for strain-
sensing applications. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) flexible structures were fabricated …
