Experimental results and modelling of corrosion-damaged concrete beams strengthened with externally-bonded composites by Elghazy M.

“…The FE models were able to capture the non-linear behavior of the strengthened beams. The interfacial bond stress-slip models at the fabric/matrix and composite/concrete interfaces and the number of composite layers had the most significant impact on the predicted response of the strengthened beams whereas the corrosion level, modeled as a reduction in the steel reinforcement cross-section, showed a slight effect on their performance. …”

The Formation of Sulfide Scales on Carbon Steel in Saturated H2S by Alqahtani, Noora

“…The electrochemical reaction commonly contains three stages: first, the reactant transported from the solution (bulk) to the metal surface; then the transfer of the charge reaction on the surface, followed by the reaction product transported away from the iron surface to the bulk solution or the formation and development of the corrosion product which then can decrease the corrosion rate. Development of a robust corrosion model to predict the corrosion process in H2S these requires a mechanistic understanding of all these elements. …”

Impact of time synchronization error on the mode-shape identification and damage detection/localization in WSNs for structural health monitoring by Abdaoui, Abderrazak

“…In this paper, we characterize the impact of TSE on the modal analysis, damage detection and damage localization using frequency domain decomposition (FDD) implemented in a semi-local manner. In order to decrease the size of the transmitted data by the sensor nodes and reduce the processing load and the needed storage capacity on the central unit, we adopt a semi-local processing approach where each sensor node partially processed data and transmit it to a central unit for further processing such as mode shape identification, damage detection and damage localization. …”
