Image-Based Crack Morphology Characterisation for Electrical Failure Analysis in Conductive Polymer Composites
Abstract: Electrical performance in conductive polymer composites is strongly governed by crack-network evolution, yet failure analysis typically relies on qualitative image inspection or electrical anomaly detection in isolation. This work proposes an end-to-end framework that converts optical/SEM crack imagery into a standardised crack morphology signature and quantitatively links it to electrical degradation indicators. A two-stage learning strategy is adopted: crack-representation pretraining using the public Concrete Crack Images for Classification dataset, followed …

Analysis of Elevated Liquid Storage Tank on Sloping Ground with Variable Heights
Abstract: Past earthquake events have shown that even well-designed elevated water tanks can suffer severe damage or collapse. Much of this damage occurs due to a limited understanding of the behavior and appropriate selection of supporting systems during the design process. With a large mass concentrated at the top of slender supports, these tanks are especially vulnerable to horizontal seismic forces. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate the strength and performance …
