A Review on Integrated Acoustic Emission and Piezoelectric Sensing for Real-Time Damage Characterization of Polymer Composite-Enhanced Concrete: Advances, Challenges, and Future Perspective
Abstract: Polymer composite reinforced concrete has been identified as an efficient material system that can enhance the mechanical properties, durability, and service life of modern structures. The combination of fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs), polymer modifiers, and hybrid composite reinforcements increases structural effectiveness. However, these systems are still vulnerable to damage processes, including matrix cracking, fiber breaking, interfacial debonding, and delamination. Thus, there is a need for structural health monitoring (SHM) strategies …

ML-Enhanced Self-Healing Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites with Embedded IoT Sensors for Damage Prediction
Abstract: Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites are widely used in aerospace and structural systems; nevertheless, the potential for microcracking and fatigue-induced performance degradation remains an obstacle with respect to improved service life. Traditional self-healing methods, while performing well on a chemical level, often lack real-time diagnostic awareness and adaptive control. To circumvent this, we developed a machine-learning augmented self-healing FRP composite, in which a DCPD–Grubbs catalytic matrix was combined with IoT sensor …

Parameters of “Safety” in the Food Additive Industry: A Review of Risks and Benefits
Abstract: “Safety is in the eye of the beholder.” What is deemed “safe” by one observer may seem dangerous or risky to others. To approach this apparent quandary and assure ongoing scientific input, most food additives should be tested on laboratory animals and subsequently monitored if approved for human or animal consumption (i.e., parallel to the pathway for the approval of drugs). The term “safety” in the study of the toxicology …

Evaluating Delay Impacts: From Root Cause Analysis to Dispute Resolution
Abstract: Construction projects inherently involve complex coordination among multiple stakeholders, interdependent tasks, and unpredictable external challenges, which frequently cause schedule overruns and disputes. Traditional contractual mechanisms—such as extensions of time (EoT), liquidated damages, and force majeure clauses—serve to define responsibilities, allocate risk, and establish formal dispute pathways when delays arise. For example, EoT provisions protect contractors from penalties when delays are beyond their control, provided proper notice and evidence are submitted …
