Content: M5 method modal analysis measurements on a reinforced concrete sample with a single rebar to detect rebar corrosion.

The purpose of these measurements is to evaluate the corrosion level of reinforced bars in concrete samples. The method employs modal analysis and reduces damping in the concrete through electromagnetic excitation, transferring vibrations of the rebar via magnetic coupling to the magnet on or above the sample surface.

File: wynikiM5.mat - contains the range of used frequencies in variable 'f' (in Hz) and measured data, with sample parameters encoded in the variable name.

waveforms data name:
first sign - B - field sample, or A - laboratory sample
2nd sign - corrosion level - 1: rebar in the sample is not corroded; 2: rebar in the sample is partially corroded; 3: rebar fully corroded/structural debonding
3rd sign - sample identification code that ranges from 'a' to 'j'.
next signs - number of the measurements from 'v2' to 'v10' (optional).
