Feasibility study into the use of digital image correlation for creep strain monitoring of fossil power plant welds by Cardenas, Nicolas

“…This is a quasi NonDestructive Examination (NDE) technique that looks at the microstructure of the sample in question. Although well-known and used extensively, replicas, as with any technology, have their shortcomings. …”

The Arbitrage pricing theory: an assessment of the robustness of empirical techniques employed under conditions of thin trading and in the presence of non-normalities by Page, Michael J

“…On the basis of an extensive simulation study the statistical procedures of principal components analysis, principal factor analysis and generalised least squares regression are shown to produce results that appear independent of the true number of underlying factors generating risky asset returns. When market microstructure effects and significant levels of thin trading are simulated into the data the power of the procedures is further reduced. …”

Mechanical and Electromagnetic Properties of Incorporating Graphene Oxide in Cementitious Mixtures by Khalil, Cherif

“…This multidisciplinary study aimed at investigating the impact of incorporating graphene oxide (GO) on the mechanical properties and electromagnetic (EM) shielding effectiveness of cementitious mixtures, as well as critically examining the mechanism with which GO affects their microstructure properties. Analysis of the literature review showed that there are discrepancies in reporting the impact of GO on the mortar mix. …”

Examination of flexural crack width prediction in concrete: comparison of analytical and numerical models by Fredericks, Brandon

“…The analytical equations in design codes focus on the bond relationship and ignore the size effect of concrete inherent in its microstructure. The concentration of flaws increases in larger members; hence size effect would play a greater role. …”
