Nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) are commonly used in the industry for their ability to identify damage and assess material conditions. Ultrasonic testing (UT) is one of …
Composite materials are those formed by combining two or more different materials to take advantage of the best characteristics of each one. However, due to this heterogeneity …
Computational models are crucial in applied science and engineering, offering valuable insights on the behavior of strutures and mechanical systems. However, their effectiveness …
Machine learning methods used in Structural Health Monitoring applications still have generalization difficulties among structures, even when structures are nominally and …
Fibre ropes with the latest technology have emerged as an appealing alternative to steel ropes for offshore industries due to their lightweight and high tensile strength. At the same …

Quantitatively and accurately monitoring the damage to composites is critical for estimating the remaining life of structures and determining whether maintenance is essential. This …
The success of detecting damage robustly relies on the availability of long periods of past data covering multiple weather scenarios and on the information contained in the data used …
This paper presents a feasibility study on damage size quantification throughout the damage expansion procedure using the integral differential method based on the developed …
Abstract Ultrasonic Guided Waves (UGW) offer the possibility of inspecting a strip across a structure rather than just the point under a traditional bulk wave transducer. This can …
