The detection of product defects is essential in quality control in manufacturing. This study
surveys stateoftheart deep-learning methods in defect detection. First, we classify the defects …

As the application of composite materials in structural parts continues to increase, so does
the importance to monitor the structure's health condition during their entire service life. This …

The usual way to evaluate the fracture toughness of bonded joints is via experimental
characterization of the critical strain energy release rate. Different test procedures and data …

The feasibility of applying Optical Backscatter Reflectometry as a backface strain monitoring
method for bonded joints subjected to mode I fatigue crack propagation was studied. Visual …

The relationship between the response of backface strain distributed sensing by Optical
Backscatter Reflectometry and the damage in the adhesive was studied using double …

Piezoelectric, piezoresistive, and optical fiber sensors have attracted considerable attention
in structural health monitoring (SHM) applications for strain/temperature measurements in …

Fatigue crack growth in composite, single lap bonded joints is analysed by back face
distributed strain sensing, using optical backscatter reflectometry. Crack growth is inferred …

Mechanoluminescent (ML) studies were investigated for double cantilever beam (DCB) and
tapered-DCB (TDCB) tests, and the following information was recorded.(1) The ML behavior …

The increasing energy demand has led to more explorations in the oil and gas industry. To
achieve this, marine risers and pipelines are used to convey fluid and other resources to …

In view of an extensive literature about guided waves–based structural health monitoring of
plate-like structures made of metallic and composite materials, a lack of information is …
