A Solitary Wave-Based Sensor to Monitor the Setting of Fresh Concrete

A Solitary Wave-Based Sensor to Monitor the Setting of Fresh Concrete

We present a proof-of-principle study about the use of a sensor for the nondestructive monitoring of strength development in hydrating concrete. The nondestructive evaluation technique is based on the propagation of highly nonlinear solitary waves (HNSWs), which are non-dispersive mechanical waves t...
