This is the first review of the emerging field of capacitance-based self-sensing in structural
materials. Capacitance-based self-sensing is rich in both science and applications. It is …

Self-sensing cement composites are widely used to monitor structural performance by
measuring its electrical resistivity/conductivity. Hence, this study examines the choice of …

Abstract Self-Sensing Cement Composites (SSC) made from cementitious composites with
electrically conductive elements have many applications in structural health monitoring …

Asphalt road gradually deteriorates in serviceability with insignificant damage. The
deterioration begins with microcracks and continues until structural failure. To facilitate early …

Piezopermittivity refers to the reversible change of the electric permittivity (the main material
property that describes the dielectric behavior) with the elastic strain. This paper addresses …

Collocated control has the advantages of robustness and guaranteed stability. In collocated
control, the sensor and actuator are placed close to each other. True collocation can be …

The arrangement of carbon fibers in the cement matrix affects the stability and sensitivity of
the composite. This study investigated the effects of bath pH and electroless plating time on …

This work reports for the first time the effect of cold work (mechanical rolling) on the dielectric
behavior of a conductive dielectric, namely copper (not poled). The positive end of the …

Asphalt pavements expose early damage during their service life. The early damage grows
internally until it accumulates and transforms into macro-damage that leads to structural …

A structural material is called self-sensing when it is able to reveal its own state without the
need for any external sensors. Self-sensing for steel is valuable for the control and safety of …
