Modeling of Viscoelastic Phenomena in Concrete Structures. Pomarico, A, Roselli, G, & Caltabiano, D
abstract   bibtex   
A growing demand is recently emerging of sensors to be integrated in the concrete in order to measure some critical parameters, such as humidity and temperature and the internal pressure of the material. For example, by monitoring the pressure in various strategic points of the structure and their evolutions over time it is possible to understand the health of the structure and the needs for maintenance intervention. The modeling of viscoelasticity is one of the most relevant challenges for a reliable analysis of a concrete structure and its embedded sensors. COMSOL Multiphysics®, thanks to its strong multiphysics capabilities, is particularly useful for modeling any kind of sensor functionality. Being able to use COMSOL also to model concrete peculiarities and in particular its viscoelasticity characteristics would provide a complete tool for reliable simulations of various types of sensors in concrete structures.
