Wind power technologies are being used as a mean of harvesting the energy from the wind with low carbon impact and with great potential to contribute to a new energy paradigm. Great benefits may arise from the use of offshore turbines…
Wavelet transforms are efficient tools for structural health monitoring (SHM) and damage detection. However, these methods are encountered with some limitations in practice. Thus, signal energy analysis is used as an alternative technique…
Residual stresses are often inevitably introduced into the material during the fabrication processes, such as welding, and are known to have significant effects on the subsequent fatigue crack growth behavior of welded structures. In this…
Nodular cast iron (GJS) represents one of the most widely used materials for vehicle, energy and heavy machinery industry. Nevertheless, foundries struggling with the influence of local material defects in GJS like pores, shrinkages and…
This study focuses on the development and integrated design over a 24-month period of a high efficiency energy-harvesting (EH) temperature sensor, based on piezoelectric materials, with applications for the sustainability of smart…
