Development of the technique for determination the rate of oxidation of structural steels in heavy liquid metal coolants

The article considers the main methods for studying the process of oxidation of structural steels and evaluating their corrosion resistance in heavy liquid metal coolants (HLMC) under static and dynamic conditions.It is shown that the main disadvantage of these methods is the impossibility of evaluating the results in real time.The authors propose

Improved 3D Pavement Texture Reconstruction Method Based on Interference Fringe via Optimizing the Post-Processing Method

The surface quality of pavement has a significant influence on the driving comfort and the skid resistance performance of roads.The 3D pavement texture measurement provides the basis for engineers to calculate the pavement performance index, such as the international roughness index (IRI), the texture depth (TD), and the rutting depth index (RDI),
