... experimental unit intended for IR thermographic NDT of corrosion in metallic shells. Design/methodology/approach The basic theory relates to the analysis of heat conduction in a plate with rear-surface material loss subjected to pulse, thermal wave or arbitrary heating. Findings The amplitude...

...Guofu Qiao; Huigang Xiao; Yi Hong; Yuelan Qiu Purpose Corrosion sensors and networks are the most effective techniques to obtain the corrosion information and recognize the corrosion status of reinforced concrete structures. However, reference electrode is the key element to provide the baseline...

...Guofu Qiao; Huigang Xiao; Guodong Sun Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a novel five‐electrode electrochemical corrosion sensor. Health degradation by the corrosion of steel in civil engineering is a persistent problem. Structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques, including...
