Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Magnetic Wheel Adhesion Force for Climbing RobotHaydn Welch, Shyamal MondalThis paper describes the aim of designing, building and testing magnetic wheel based an autonomous climbing robot, for use in conjunction with Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) inspection on vertical towers. Through extensive review of previous generations of climbing robot, a hybrid wheel and permanent magnetic adhesion system has been designed and discussed in this paper. Using mathematical modelling and Finite Element … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Aug 2019 · 8,283 accessesView PDFCite
Technical ReportOpen accessIn the abstractKnowledge Acquisition of Existing Buildings by Means of Diagnostic Surveying. Case StudiesGiovanna Concu, Nicoletta Trulli, Monica ValdésThe issue of assessing the structural safety of existing buildings involves several problems when a unique and reliable strategy of modelling and analyzing is looked for. This is mainly related to the peculiarity of each construction in a context of broad variety. In this light the structural model and consequently the judgment on structural safety should be derived from a … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 20 Feb 2018 · 7,320 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Defects in Composite Materials Using an Improved Wavelet Analysis AlgorithmYahiaoui Aicha, Si-Chaib Med, O.A. ChellilProblem statement: The present work carries on the use of a method based on the wavelet transform to detect internal flaws of composite materials. The objective of this work consists in working out a data processing sequence of an ultrasonic signal identifying nearly flaws in composite laminate materials and estimating their position. Approach: The use of a numerical signal processing … …Physics International, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 12 Mar 2012 · 8,163 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDetection of Subsurface Defects in Concrete Bridge Deck JointsWonchang Choi, Larry Rickard, Taher Abu-Lebdeh, Miguel PicornellProblem statement: The integrity of deck joints in highway bridges plays a major role to determine overall performance of bridge system. As the bridge maintenance program, the defects in deck joints have historically been detected by conventional non-destructive testing and evaluation methods such as visual inspection, chain-dragging and by the detecting sounds under the traffic. Future bridge maintenance challenges will … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2011 · 7,772 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCementation Analysis by Eddy Current MethodM. Zergoug, H. Oubouchou, N. AmimeurIncrease the hardness, the endurance and the life time of material can be realised by surface treatments and remetallings, the electromagnetic properties of steels depend on their composition, their microstructures and constraints applied. We can use the electric and magnetic parameters to evaluate their microstructure. The object of this work is the characterization of cementation by the non-destructive methods and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2009 · 7,565 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCalibration and Simultaneous Monitoring of Soil Water Content and Salinity with Capacitance and Four-electrode ProbesTadaomi Saito, Haruyuki Fujimaki, Mitsuhiro InoueNon-destructive monitoring of soil water content (W) and the electrical conductivity of the soil solution (ECw) has been desired for environmental evaluation and sustainable agriculture. Dielectric probes and four-electrode probes are widely used for the non-destructive determination of W and the soil bulk electrical conductivity (ECb), respectively. Since the output of dielectric probes is affected by soil salinity, the calibration … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Influence of the Climatic Factors on the Decay of Marbles: an Experimental StudyPaola Marini, Rossana BellopedeStone decay is affected by the influence of climatic factors. In particular marble degradation, that could be expressed by decohesion and /or bowing, is mainly due to the action of temperature and water (rains and relative humidity). In this work non destructive and destructive tests have been performed to evaluate the decay of marble slabs subjected both to natural exposition … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,123 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNon Destructive Tests of Structural Bonds by Guided Ultrasonic Waves: Effect of a Surface Pretreatment or a Localized DefectValentina Vlasie, Martine RousseauThe aim of this study was to propose a non destructive method to test the mechanical quality of a bond aluminium/epoxy/aluminium. Thus, for each aluminium/epoxy interface, an intermediate interface modelling between a simple geometrical interface and an interphase (3D material medium), i.e. a 2D material medium. In order to describe the surface stresses, we introduce the surface free energy (the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordDefect Classification of Reinforced Concrete Structures with Nondestructive Tests Using Statistical and Machine Learning MethodsSajjad Sayyar-Roudsari, Armaghan Shalbaftabar, Farshid Damirchilo et al.In this study, twelve reinforced concrete beams were constructed, each with specified dimensions and initial compressive strength. The beams were divided into four groups: A control group without any defect, a void group featuring a centrally located void, a corrosion group and a debonding group. The impact echo test was used for nondestructive testing, gathering data on compressive and shear … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 11 Jun 2024 · 5,258 accessesView PDFCite
