Abstract The mechanical properties and failure mechanism of lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC) is a hot topic in the engineering field, and the relationship between its microstructure and macroscopic mechanical properties is also a frontier research topic in the academic field. In this study, the image processing technology is used to establish a micro-structure model of lightweight aggregate concrete. Through the information extraction and processing of the section image of actual light aggregate concrete specimens, the mesostructural model of light aggregate concrete with real aggregate characteristics is established. The numerical simulation of uniaxial tensile test, uniaxial compression… More >

Abstract Currently, worldwide industries and communities are concerned with building, expanding, and exploring the assets and resources found in the oceans and seas. More precisely, to analyze a stock, archaeology, and surveillance, several cameras are installed underseas to collect videos. However, on the other hand, these large size videos require a lot of time and memory for their processing to extract relevant information. Hence, to automate this manual procedure of video assessment, an accurate and efficient automated system is a greater necessity. From this perspective, we intend to present a complete framework solution for the task… More >

Abstract This paper investigates the failure behaviors of stratified rocks under uniaxial compression using a digital image processing (DIP) based finite difference method (FDM). The two-dimensional (2D) mesostructure of stratified rocks, represented as the internal spatial distribution of two main rock materials (marble and greenschist), is first identified with the DIP technique. And then the binaryzation image information is used to generate the finite difference grid. Finally, the failure behaviors of stratified rock samples are simulated by FDM considering the inhomogeneity of rock materials. In the DIP, an image segmentation algorithm based on seeded region growing… More >
