In this paper, the effect of microstructure on the thermal conductivity of plasma-sprayed Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) is investigated. Nine freestanding samples deposited on aluminum-base superalloy are studied. Cross-section morphology such as pores, cracks, m-phase content, grain boundary density of the coated samples are examined by scanning electron microscopy...

A new algorithm is described which extends the material point method (MPM) to allow explicit cracks within the model material. Conventional MPM enforces velocity and displacement continuity through its background grid. This approach is incompatible with cracks which are displacement and velocity discontinuities. By allowing multiple velocity fields at special nodes near cracks, the new method (...

The crack breathing model and identification method for rotors using nonlinearity induced by cracks are studied in this work. Firstly, the finite element is utilized to a rotor–bearing system with response-dependent obtain numerical data identification. During modelling, an improved proposed, focused on unreasonable assumption about closure line original position (CCLP) model. Compared model, c...

Abstract A new crack identification method that estimates the cracks in invisible locations based on surface deformation measured by digital image correlation (DIC) is developed. An inverse problem setup to estimate such from deformations. The has an ill-condition because of noise contained Our proposed regularization uses prior information and Expectation a Posteriori (EAP) estimation. Prior i...

Typically, the Electromechanical Impedance (EMI) technique does not use an analytical model for basic damage identification. However, an accurate model is necessary for getting more information about any damage. In this paper, an EMI model is presented for predicting the electromechanical impedance of a cracked beam structure quantitatively. A coupled system of a cracked Timoshenko beam with a ...

the cracked brazilian disc (cbd) specimen is widely used in order to determine mode-i/ii and mixed-mode fracture toughness of a rock medium. in this study, the stress intensity factor (sif) on the crack-tip in this specimen is calculated for various geometrical crack conditions using the extended-finite element method (x-fem). this method is based upon the finite element method (fem). in this m...

The problem of the underwater structure disease bridge is increasingly obvious, which has seriously affected safe operation structure, so it necessary to detect regularly. There are many kinds diseases. This paper targets structural crack diseases adopts multiple image recognition networks for verification, compares advantages different networks, and takes YOLO-v4 network as main body build a l...

The objective of this investigation was to develop an innovative methodology for life and reliability prediction of hot-section components in advanced turbopropulsion systems. A set of generic microstructure-based time-dependent crack growth (TDCG) models was developed and used to assess the sources of material variability due to microstructure and material parameters such as grain size, activa...

Perturbation of a steadily propagating crack with a straight edge is solved using the method of matched asymptotic expansion (MAE). This provides a simplified analysis in which the inner and outer solutions are governed by distinct mechanics. The inner solution contains the explicit perturbation and is governed by a quasistatic equation. The outer solution determines the radiation of energy awa...

the prevalent method of irrigation in paddy fields in iran is continuous ponding, which changes to intermittent method at the time of water shortage. soil cracks are the main problem in intermittent irrigation. in this study, effects of adding rice straw on some soil physical characteristics and cracks were studied in paddy soils of the guilan province of iran. the experiment was performed as s...
