ClearReview of Fatigue Crack Initiation Mechanisms Development and Monitoring in the Very High Cycle Fatigue Regime
This review covers how fatigue cracks initiate and grow in materials under very high cycle loading conditions, with implications for engineering design. Understanding material fatigue mechanisms helps develop longer-lasting products that reduce the need for replacement, thereby reducing manufacturing waste and plastic use.
Enhancing High-Performance Concrete with Waste Rubber Tyre Aggregates: A Sustainable Approach
Researchers investigated the mechanical properties and sustainability performance of high-performance concrete incorporating waste rubber tyre aggregates, finding that rubber additions improve toughness and reduce environmental impact while meeting structural performance requirements.
A Step towards Sustainable Concrete with Substitution of Plastic Waste in Concrete: Overview on Mechanical, Durability and Microstructure Analysis
This review evaluates the use of plastic waste as a substitute material in concrete, analyzing its effects on mechanical strength, durability, and microstructure to assess its viability as a sustainable construction approach.
A Bibliometric Analysis of the Studies on Self-Healing Concrete Published between 1974 and 2021
This bibliometric analysis of self-healing concrete research from 1974-2021 identified key research trends, productive authors, and collaboration patterns, highlighting gaps in the literature and future directions for the field.
Multiaxial Fatigue Life Assessment of Integral Concrete Bridge with a Real-Scale and Complicated Geometry Due to the Simultaneous Effects of Temperature Variations and Sea Waves Clash
This engineering study modeled fatigue stress in a real-scale concrete bridge with steel piles under combined loading from temperature changes and sea wave impacts, identifying steel piles as the most vulnerable structural component. While focused on structural engineering, the study demonstrates analytical approaches to predicting wear and degradation of materials in marine environments — relevant to understanding how structural materials release microplastic-like particles.
Utilization of plastic waste as replacement of natural aggregates in sustainable concrete: effects on mechanical and durability properties
Researchers tested concrete made with recycled polyethylene and PET plastic aggregates substituted for natural sand and gravel, finding that while plastic additions reduced compressive strength and increased water permeability, they improved impact resistance and chloride resistance, with PET concrete showing no microplastic leaching.
Meso-Scale Simulation of Concrete Uniaxial Behavior Based on Numerical Modeling of CT Images
This study used X-ray computed tomography and computer modeling to simulate how concrete cracks and fails at the microscale. It is a structural engineering paper not related to environmental microplastics.
Performance Study of Sustainable Concrete Containing Recycled Aggregates from Non-Selected Construction and Demolition Waste
Researchers investigated the mechanical performance of sustainable concrete made with recycled aggregates from non-selected construction and demolition waste in Iran. The study evaluates how incorporating waste materials into concrete production can reduce construction debris in landfills while maintaining acceptable structural performance.
Fatigue Damage Evaluation of Aviation Aluminum Alloy Based on Strain Monitoring
Researchers developed a metal fatigue damage model for aerospace aluminum alloy using real-time strain monitoring combined with crystal plasticity finite element analysis, establishing a constitutive relationship between strain and damage prior to microcrack initiation. Electron backscatter diffraction analysis validated the model's accuracy in predicting fatigue damage states under various stress conditions.
Fatigue Failure Assessment in Ultrasonic Test Based on Temperature Evolution and Crack Initiation Mechanisms
This study examined how temperature changes and crack formation can be used to detect fatigue failure in materials during ultrasonic testing. Researchers found that thermal imaging can identify fatigue damage earlier than conventional methods. The work advances non-destructive testing techniques for structural materials.
