The assessment of cracks in engineering structures is critical for ensuring the integrity and safety of materials under service loads. In particular, stress intensity factors (SIFs) quantify the ...

Abstract: This study investigates crack detection in the turnout tip rails by analyzing the acoustic emission (AE) signals generated by crack propagation, which can help monitor turnout crack. As such ...

Abstract: Crack detection is of particular crucial for safety and cost-effective maintenance of concrete structures. Many image-based detection methods have been highly proposed for their automation, ...

A surgical procedure called "fetlock arthrodesis" can be a life-saving procedure for a horse with a serious sesamoid fracture; the procedure involves repair by fusing the bones of the ankle joint it's ...
