Non-destructive testing (NDT) is one of the key method developed for the safety mechanism of many industrial fields, e.g. aerospace, oil and gas and power industries. Among the NDT techniques, eddy current testing belongs to the well-established ones and h ...
Titanium alloys manifest low thermal conductivity and high work hardenability in machining. These alloys are thus considered as difficult-to-machine at higher cutting speeds and pose serious problems in machining such as degraded machined surface and rapid ...
Rock mass boreability is a comprehensive parameter reflecting the interaction between rock mass and a tunnel boring machine (TBM). Many factors including rock mass conditions, TBM specifications and operation parameters influence rock mass boreability. In ...
It is important to reliably characterize cracks in metallic mechanical parts in order to assess the serenity of damage due to fatigue. The most important parameter for this is the crack depth. This is notoriously difficult with standard Eddy current techni ...
Eddy current techniques are often used to detect and, in some advanced applications, to characterize fatigue surface-breaking cracks appearing in mechanical parts. One of the major difficulties in this approach is to reliably separate the crack contributio ...
Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are an essential ingredient in many technological innovations and a source of game-changing inventions in the automotive industry, space exploration, consumer electronics and medical applications due to its capability ...
Photodegradation of wood leads to discolouration and delignification, inducing damage to the cellular structure. This study is an investigation of the damage and loss of tensile strength of the cellulose fibres in spruce (Picea abies). Microtensile tests i ...
The purpose of this review is to present the state-of-the-art in dynamic fracture testing methods and fracture behaviour of rock materials. The review begins by briefly introducing the history of rock dynamic fracture and explaining the significance of stu ...
Body-centered cubic metals are of high technological interest: for example tungsten as potential plasma facing component in future fusion reactors, molybdenum employed in aircraft parts, niobium as superconducting magnets, etc. The characteristics of their ...
A split Hopkinson pressure bar system with a special shape striker has been suggested as the test method by the International Society for Rock Mechanics (ISRM) to determine the dynamic characteristics of rock materials. In order to further verify this test ...
