Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The monitoring of bonded insulated joints makes it possible to overcome the limits dictated by cyclical scheduled maintenance, helping the infrastructure manager to anticipate the formation of possible failures. A field monitoring system that measures the joint gap opening variation was investigated, using optical fibres with Bragg gratings placed at the head of the two adjacent jointed rails. Through the application of the Zimmermann analytical model, a first quantitative validation of the data recorded by the monitoring systems measuring the joint gap opening variation was proposed. Based on the different types of failure of a bonded insulated joint, the debonded of insulating element of the joint was identified as a typical condition. Starting from this through a finite element analysis, some characteristic limitations of these monitoring systems were identified by assuming four different bonding scenarios.
