... of transportation. Corrosion adversely impacts the steel structure strength of bridges. Accurate detection methods within the environment of Internet of Things can help to find the corrosion of bridges in time, take maintenance measures in advance, and delay the decay of bridge life. At present, the inspection...

...R. Muralimohan; U. N. Kempaiah; G. B. Veeresh Kumar The remarkable characteristics of aluminum alloys, like their hardness, strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue, corrosion resistance, play a decisive role in the aeronautical and automotive industries. However, scientists are on the lookout...

...Eric McDermott; Shiril Sivan; Matthew Di Prima ABSTRACT Corrosion within the crevice of modular tapers is one of the major mechanisms that leads to orthopedic device failures. However, the currently used fretting corrosion test methods involve extended test durations and are often burdensome...

... %, and 1.25 % silver. For the suitability of a composite as an implant material, corrosion rate, hemolysis, and antibacterial activity were investigated with pure magnesium as the control. Pure magnesium shows a corrosion rate of around 5 mm/year, while magnesium-silver composites show around 1.2 mm/year...

...T. Azizzadeh; M. S. Safizadeh Neighboring corrosion pits are one of the most frequently found defects in gas pipelines. Because of the interaction with each other, these defects accelerate the corrosion growth rates in the wall of the pipelines. Hence, it is meaningful to discriminate multiple...

...Dewei Meng; Shibin Lin; Hoda Azari Concrete corrosion induced by deicing agents can decrease the durability of concrete bridge decks by causing cross-sectional loss of reinforcement, concrete delamination, and spalling owing to the expansion of corroded reinforcement. The installation of overlays...

... Nb). These stainless steels are also susceptible to stress corrosion cracking. The induced residual stress in the material in turn reduces its creep strength. The strain beyond a certain limit affects its creep-resistant property appreciably, and hence, beyond a certain strain, these stainless steels...

Effective combination of specific Lamb wave modes leads to comprehensive inspection of the submerged plate structures. The developed methodology is successfully applied for monitoring notches and corrosion in plate...

...Gerald S. Frankel The corrosion of metals occurs primarily by electrochemical processes involving metal oxidation and simultaneous reduction of some other species. The fundamental understanding of these processes has allowed the development of a number of electrochemical techniques for the study...

...Manote Sappakittipakorn; Nemkumar Banthia Recent studies have shown that fiber reinforcement of concrete reduces its permeability to water and enhances its service life. In this study, this finding was extended to determine if fiber reinforcement can also control corrosion of reinforcing steel...

...Douglas R. Rammer; Samuel L. Zelinka Accurate determination of corrosion rates for threaded fasteners hinges on the ability to determine the surface area on which corrosion is occurring. Currently, no general analytical expression of surface area exists for the threaded fastener types. A recent...

...SL Zelinka This paper evaluates the effect that uncertainties in measurements of time, weight, and surface area have on the determination of the corrosion rate of metal fasteners in contact with wood. Three different types of nails were driven into alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ)-treated wood...
