A novel bending approach for crack determination and location by Wong, Wei Song

“…Three point bending tests using SAE 304 stainless steel plates with machined cracks were studied. Theoretical deflection of the plate was derived using standard formula for uniform load and point load and compared to experimental deflection of the plate with loads keeping the material in its plastic region. …”

Influence of non-linear wave load models on monopile supported offshore wind turbines for extreme conditions by Ryan, GV, Tang, T, McAdam, RA, Adcock, TAA

“…These models are compared to the widely used constrained wave approach, showing that significant differences are predicted for steel and geotechnical design checks. This suggests that the industry standard approach may be inappropriate for the design of monopile structures against extreme wave loads.…”

Synthesis of robust and multifunctional microcapsules for protective coatings used in marine and offshore environments by Sun, Dawei

“…During service, anticorrosion coatings in seawater are susceptible to wear and scratched damages resulting in the re-exposure of steel substrates. Smart coatings are prepared by formulating microcapsules in polymeric coatings, where healing agents can be released to seal scratches or as lubricant to mitigate wear damages after the microcapsules are broken. …”

J-integral analysis: an EDXD and DIC comparative study for a fatigue crack by Koko, A, Earp, P, Wigger, T, Tong, J, Marrow, TJ

“…Synchrotron Energy Dispersive X-ray Diffraction (EDXD) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) have been applied to map simultaneously the 2D elastic strain and displacement fields of a propagating fatigue crack in the HAZ of a welded Cr2Ni4MoV bainitic steel. The position of the crack tip was tracked via a phase congruency analysis of the displacement field, and also by detection of its cyclic plastic zone. …”
