One of the concerns about use passive Infrared Thermography (IRT) for structural health monitoring (SHM) is determination a favorable period to conduct inspections. This paper investigates numerical simulations find appropriate periods IRT-based detection subsurface damages in concrete bridge slabs under heating along 1 year time span. A model was built using Finite Element Method (FEM) and cal...

The characteristics of carbon fibre reinforced laminates have widened their use from aerospace to domestic appliances, and new possibilities for their usage emerge almost daily. In many of the possible applications, the laminates need to be drilled for assembly purposes. It is known that a drilling process that reduces the drill thrust force can decrease the risk of delamination. In this work, ...

In this paper, we describe the second part of an experimental investigation concentrating on the study of the effects of impact speed and interfacial bond strength on the dynamic failure of model sandwich structures. Results show that even small variations in impact speed and bond strength substantially influence the initiation behavior of delamination (location and nucleation time) and lead to...

We report a case of a chondral delamination lesion due to medial parapatellar plica friction syndrome involving the medial femoral condyle. This mimicked a torn medial meniscus in clinical and radiological presentation. Arthroscopy revealed a chondral delamination flap, which was debrided. Diagnosis of chondral lesions in the knee can be challenging. Clinical examination and MRI have good accur...

BACKGROUND Delamination of the anterior lens capsule producing a double-ring sign during continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis is commonly associated with true exfoliation syndrome. METHODS Previous studies have concentrated on light- and transmission-electron microscopic features and correlated this with the histopathology of these anterior capsules. To our knowledge, this is the first report...
