Development of self-sensing and self-healing concrete is essential to minimize the labour-intensive monitoring repair activities conducted for maintenance structures. A type can be achieved by using microbial agents that induce calcium carbonate precipitation inside a crack. Recently, biogranules consist nitrate reducing microorganisms were presented as new generation healing agent biogranule c...

Self-healing and self-configuration are highly desirable properties in software systems so that components can dynamically adapt to changing environments and recover from failure with minimal human intervention. This paper discusses a model-based approach for self-healing and self-configuration using recovery connectors. A recovery connector extends connectors in component-based software archit...

As self-management features of computer systems depend on self-knowledge we have to cope with the issue that most large systems are not entirely known to the self-management software. Especially when system parts are supplied by external companies which want to preserve their intellectual property we have to cope with black-box components. This paper presents a novel approach for self-healing i...

Inspired by biological systems in which damage triggers an autonomic healing response, we have developed a polymer composite material that can heal itself when cracked. This paper summarizes the self-healing concept for polymeric composite materials and investigates fracture mechanics issues consequential to the development and optimization of this new class of materials. The self-healing mater...

Flexible self-healing pressure sensors were prepared by slot-die onto a flexible substrate, and characterized using multiple tools to investigate their response mechanical deformation properties before after self-healing.

Systems designed to be self-healing are able to heal themselves at runtime in response to changing environmental or operational circumstances. Thus, the goal is to avoid catastrophic failure through prompt execution of remedial actions. This paper proposes a self-healing mechanism that monitors, diagnoses and heals its own internal problems using self-awareness as contextual information. The se...

Using self-healing materials in commercial applications requires healing chemistry that is cost-effective, widely available and tolerant of moderate temperature excursions. We investigate the use of tungsten (VI) chloride as a catalyst precursor for the ring-opening metathesis polymerization of exo-dicyclopentadiene (exo-DCPD) in self-healing applications as a means to achieve these goals. The ...
