An estimation method includes: an acquisition step (S101) of acquiring deflection stress information that indicates a relationship between a deflection and a tensile stress of a specimen (200) of a reinforced concrete structure; and a derivation step (S102) of deriving an estimation formula for estimating a depth of a crack generated in the reinforced concrete structure when a deflection of the reinforced concrete structure is no less than a first deflection of the specimen at a start of a generation of the crack, and is no greater than a second deflection of the specimen at an end of the generation of the crack.

Use of traceable micro-electro-mechanical systems (“MEMS”) in subterranean formations. A method may comprise introducing a treatment fluid comprising a traceable micro-electro-mechanical system into a wellbore, wherein the traceable micro-electro-mechanical system comprises a micro-electro-mechanical system and a tagging material.

Through-tubing, cased-hole sealed material density can be evaluated using gamma ray measurements. Density evaluation comprises detecting, by at least one detector positioned within a casing of a wellbore including a sealing material positioned between the casing and a subsurface formation, electromagnetic radiation generated in response to nuclear radiation being emitted outward toward the subsurface formation, determining an electromagnetic radiation count based on the detected electromagnetic radiation, selecting at least one of a first reference material having a density that is less than a density of the sealing material and a second reference material having a density that is greater than the density of the sealing material, adjusting the electromagnetic radiation count based on the density of the at least one of the first reference material and the second reference material, and determining a density of the sealing material based on the adjusted electromagnetic radiation count.

Methods, systems, and program products are disclosed for implementing acoustic logging and determining wellbore material characteristics. In some embodiments, a method may include determining a polar differential signal for each of one or more pairs of azimuthally offset acoustic measurements within a wellbore. A reference azimuth is identified based, at least in part, on comparing the polar differential signals to a modeled bonding differential signal within a target response window. The method further includes determining differences between an acoustic measurement at the reference azimuth and acoustic measurements at one or more other azimuths and determining a wellbore material condition based, at least in part, on the determined differences.

Various aspects of the disclosure relate to evaluating the electromagnetic impedance characteristics of a material under test (MUT) over a range of frequencies. In particular aspects, a system includes: an electrically non-conducting container sized to hold the MUT, the electrically non-conducting container having a first opening at a first end thereof and a second opening at a second, opposite end thereof; a transmitting electrode assembly at the first end of the electrically non-conducting container, the transmitting electrode assembly having a transmitting electrode with a transmitting surface; and a receiving electrode assembly at the second end of the electrically non-conducting container, the receiving electrode assembly having a receiving electrode with a receiving surface, wherein the receiving electrode is approximately parallel with the transmitting electrode, and wherein the transmitting surface of the transmitting electrode is larger than the receiving surface of the receiving electrode.

A device for inspection and authentication of gemstones (diamond pieces) includes a first member having a plurality of gemstone receiving portions, a second member having a plurality of diamonds covering portions which correspond to the gemstone receiving portions; each of the diamond covering portions having a viewing and inspection opening formed therein, a connection member disposed between end portions of the first and second members, a seal placement area formed on each of the first and second members; and an authentication seal configured to be placed on the seal placement area. The authentication seal is provided on the seal placement area without obstructing the viewing and inspection openings. The size of the viewing and inspection openings is less than size of gemstones placed in the gemstone receiving portion. The viewing and inspection opening includes one or more elongated portions for inserting a twizzer therethrough for holding and rotating diamond.
