Abstract: Abstract The reduced-order modeling and performance of single-layered functionally graded piezoelectric energy harvesting systems are investigated. The choice of single-layered functionally graded materials gives the opportunity to minimize the volume of the energy harvesting system… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.engstruct.2019.109927
Abstract: Abstract The neutral axis depth is adopted by many codes of practice as an indicator of flexural ductility to quantify moment redistribution in continuous prestressed concrete (PSC) beams. Moment redistribution, however, does not only depend… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/13694332211073740
Abstract: This article proposes a new technique of monitoring neutral axis positions and deflection of Reinforced Concrete (RC) beam during corrosion of steel reinforcement using macro-strain measurements of distributed long-gauge sensors. A different group of distributed… read more here.
