Corrosion-Fatigue Evaluation of Uncoated Weathering Steel Bridges
applied sciences Article Corrosion-Fatigue Evaluation of Uncoated Weathering Steel Bridges Yu Zhang, Kaifeng Zheng, Junlin Heng * and Jin Zhu Department of Bridge Engineering, School of Civil Engineering, Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu 610031, China * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-182-8017-6652 Received: 19 July 2019; Accepted: 19 August 2019; Published: 22 August 2019 Featured Application: The new findings highlight the enhancement in corrosion-fatigue performance of steel bridges by using the uncoated weathering steel. Besides, an innovative approach has been established to simulate the corrosion-fatigue process in uncoated weathering steel bridges, providing deep insights into the service life of the bridges. The approaches suggested in the article can be used (not limited to) as a reference for the research and design of uncoated weathering steel bridges. Abstract: Uncoated weathering steel (UWS) bridges have been extensively used to reduce the lifecycle cost since they are maintenance-free and eco-friendly. However, the fatigue issue becomes significant in UWS bridges due to the intended corrosion process utilized to form the corrodent-proof rust layer instead of the coating process. In this paper, an innovative model is proposed to simulate the corrosion-fatigue (C-F) process in UWS bridges. Generally, the C-F process could be considered as two relatively independent stages in a time series, including the pitting process of flaw-initiation and the fatigue crack propagation of the critical pitting flaw. In the proposed C-F model, Faraday’s law has been employed at the critical flaw-initiation stage to describe the pitting process, in which the pitting current is applied to reflect the pitting rate in different corrosive environments. -

Lopez Received: 21 September 2016; Accepted: 8 December 2016; Published: 16 December 2016 Abstract: Significant structural steels for nuclear power engineering are chromium-nickel austenitic stainless steels. The presented paper evaluates the kinetics of the fatigue crack growth of AISI 304L and AISI 316L stainless steels in air and in corrosive environments of 3.5% aqueous NaCl solution after the application of solution annealing, stabilizing annealing, and sensitization annealing. Comparisons were made between the fatigue crack growth rate after each heat treatment regime, and a comparison between the fatigue crack growth rate in both types of steels was made. For individual heat treatment regimes, the possibility of the development of intergranular corrosion was also considered. Evaluations resulted in very favourable corrosion fatigue characteristics of the 316L steel. After application of solution and stabilizing annealing at a comparable DK level, the fatigue crack growth rate was about one half compared to 304L steel. After sensitization annealing of 316L steel, compared to stabilizing annealing, the increase of crack growth rate during corrosion fatigue was slightly higher. -

10Th International Congress on Marine Corrosion and Fouling, University of Melbourne, February 1999
10th International Congress on Marine Corrosion and Fouling, University of Melbourne, February 1999 Additional Papers John A Lewis (Editor) Maritime Platforms Division Aeronautical and Maritime Research Laboratory DSTO-GD-0287 ABSTRACT This volume contains nineteen papers from the 10th International Congress on Marine Corrosion and Fouling, held at the University of Melbourne in Melbourne, Australia, in February 1999. The scope of the congress was to enhance scientific understanding of the processes and prevention of chemical and biological degradation of materials in the sea. Papers in this volume range across the themes of marine biofilms and bioadhesion, macrofouling processes and effects, methods for prevention of marine fouling, biocides in the marine environment, biodeterioration of wood in the sea, and marine corrosion.

Fouling growth can interfere with the operation of submerged equipment, impose increased loading stresses and accelerate corrosion on marine structures, and adversely affect the performance of ships by increasing hydrodynamic drag, which necessitates the use of more power and fuel to move the ship through the water. Similarly, marine corrosion and biodegradation of materials can compromise the operation and structural integrity of vessels, structures and other immersed equipment. -

You Can Judge an Artist by an Album Cover: Using Images for Music Annotation
You Can Judge an Artist by an Album Cover: Using Images for Music Annotation Janis¯ L¯ıbeks Douglas Turnbull Swarthmore College Department of Computer Science Swarthmore, PA 19081 Ithaca College Email: [email protected] Ithaca, NY 14850 Email: [email protected] Abstract—While the perception of music tends to focus on our acoustic listening experience, the image of an artist can play a role in how we categorize (and thus judge) the artistic work. Based on a user study, we show that both album cover artwork and promotional photographs encode valuable information that helps place an artist into a musical context. We also describe a simple computer vision system that can predict music genre tags based on content-based image analysis. This suggests that we can automatically learn some notion of artist similarity based on visual appearance alone. Such visual information may be helpful for improving music discovery in terms of the quality of recommendations, the efficiency of the search process, and the aesthetics of the multimedia experience.
