✦ Synopsis

In this study, the possibility of continuously monitoring load-carrying cables in bridges is considered. A sending/receiving transducer is used to generate an ultrasonic, longitudinal, elastic wave through the cable. The interaction between the L(0, 1)-wave and vertical cracks in a single rod is investigated using the Waveguide-FE-Method to predict the reflection and transmission coefficients. Moreover, this work analyzes how the elastic energy of a propagating wave is distributed between adjacent rods via friction. An energy-based model is developed to approximate the coupling behavior in a two-rod system. Finally, the numerical predictions are verified by experimental data.

Experimental pressure histories, axial and circumferential strains, and crack-opening shapes were compared with the predictions of a simplified model of a fracturing pipe. This model, based upon previous analytical and numerical studies. assumed that the axial strains were negligible. The comparison

Crack closure measurements during fatigue crack propagation using the electrical potential drop (PD) technique is evaluated using a combination of experiments and simulations. From finite element simulations it is shown that variations in the potential drop value over a fatigue cycle can be explaine
