ESR1 Advanced ultrasonic instrumentation for interferometric monitoring

Because I am in the European project ' INFRASTAR '. Each ESR should leave their host-labo and go to another country/city to work with the other ESRs. This is the so called 'Secondment'. So, I started my secondment and came to Nantes in April to work with ESR2 Antoine. Antoine works on fiber optics, and I work on ultrasonic sensors (CODA wave). So we will examine the complementarity of our two technologies by doing test on metric slab test. Manip: 1:  We install fiber optics and ultrasonic sensors to rebars: 2:We put the rebars into the formworks and wait for the concrete. 3: Preparation of concrete  4: Concrete pouring Then we need to wait for 28 days.

Hey. Everyone, welcome to my blog. I will introduce u myself and give you a quick view of my PhD topic. Who am I? Where do I come from? My name is Xin WANG. It is a typical Chinese name, and yes. I am from China. For the first year of my undergraduate, I studied underwater acoustics in China. Then I moved to France. I studied acoustics as an undergraduate in Université du Maine. Then, for my master, I changed my major to electronics and continued my study in Pierre and Marie Curie University.   Now I am working in a European project named  ' INFRASTAR ' and doing my PhD thesis in BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung), Berlin. What am I doing? My PhD topic is ' Advanced ultrasonic instrumentation for interferometric monitoring '. So what I do is to monitor the concrete using ultrasonic sensors. But why we do this? Concrete is the single most widely used material in the world especially for the civil infrastructures. T...
