Stain Distribution in a Biaxially Loaded Cruciform Composite Specimen Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Monitoring of crack propagation in reinforced concrete beams using embedded piezoelectric transducers. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
for the last thirty years. The main goal is to reduce inspection costs and risks of unexpected failure
using real-time on-line monitoring systems. In this paper, Non Destructive Testing is applied using
piezoelectric transducers embedded in the structure. Embedded piezoelectric transducers (Smart Aggregates)
have been recently ...
Estimation of pre-stress in tendons using elastic wave propagation in the anchor head Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Application of pre-stress on a structure is a way to reinforce materials with low tensile strength like concrete and soil against tensile overload. After years in service, the strands may lose the pre-stress due to corrosion or other reasons endangering the whole structure. Since the strands inside the structure are not easily accessible, any inspection should be conducted on the anchor head. In this study, elastic waves are numerically ...
Multiaxial damage identification of angle-ply laminates using acoustic emission and other online monitoring techniques Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The aim of this research is the combined use of acoustic emission with other online monitoring techniques in order to identify the damage sequence of carbon fiber reinforced epoxies. Initially, common lay-ups were tested and their acoustic emission was monitored and analyzed with respect to the developing damage, in order to identify basic damage modes. Following this, angle-ply laminates were tested to characterize the damage evolution under ...
