Reducing residual artefacts while preserving the integrity of defect signals presents a significant challenge. To address this, a framework for artefact suppression based on a 3D denoising autoencoder is proposed, comprising two key developments: (1) The artefact rather than defects is reconstructed for the gradient vanishing issue in 3D denoising autoencoders when processing high-dimensional data, which results in excessive residual artefacts. Subsequently, a network framework based on multilayer bidirectional long short-term memory is proposed for tomographic image processing, enhancing reconstruction accuracy. (2) A cross-modal temporal-spatial attention module is developed to assist 3D autoencoders in identifying latent patterns of artefact. Particularly, their periodic differences are captured, regarded as the intrinsic distinction between defects and artefacts in tomographic detection. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework effectively suppresses the side-lobe artefact and those caused by multiple reflections and mode conversions. While this approach is primarily designed for metal welds, it also shows promise for artefact suppression in metal castings and potential applications in medical imaging.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18868,"journal":{"name":"Ndt & E International","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 103423"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143898647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Limited information can be found in existing literature regarding the use of SHM on glass elements. However, recent technological advancements have significantly improved our understanding in this area. Both SHM and the utilization of laminated glasses (LGs) for structural purposes are relatively new concepts with a short history. To conduct a comprehensive assessment of glass elements, it is crucial to have a solid understanding of both glass and SHM sciences. This research aims to explore various approaches for implementing SHM on structural glass elements, with a specific focus on the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques. By harnessing the power of ML, the SHM system can analyze large amounts of data collected from sensors placed on glass structures. Furthermore, the application of AI in SHM can facilitate real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and risk assessment for glass structures. The findings emphasize the critical role of early detection in preventing damage to glass elements and demonstrate the effectiveness of SHM in achieving this objective. The use of AI features, such as ML, presents promising opportunities for advancing the capabilities of SHM in the structural glass domain.

To address this issue, this study develops a non-equilibrium sensing mode of enhancing electromagnetic field adjustments to balance the induction field due to an uneven distribution. Specifically, it builds upon differential eddy current probes by adaptively constructing Gaussian compensate distributed hollow-core copper coils with varied structural parameters, forming a receiving array that enhances the probe's discriminative ability as well as maintaining sensitivity. To strengthen the induced eddy current, the excitation coil is relocated from above the receiving coil to the same plane as the receiving coil array. This adjustment mitigates the sensitivity reduction caused by the resolution enhancement. A theoretical equivalent circuit model of the proposed method is established. Both simulation and experiments on vary defects in pipeline have been conducted to validate the reliability and efficiency of the proposed system.

This study deals with thermal burn during grinding cycles of two different roll-bearing steels, case-carburised (CC) steel and 100Cr6 bearing steel, with different carbide structures. Thermal stability of steels is analysed with many different characterization and visualisation methods to link the structural features affecting the observed magnetic Barkhausen noise signal changes. Due to the different manufacturing operations and compositions of the studied steels, the carbide structure and produced magnetic domain structure, were observed to vary in addition to their different MBN behaviour against thermal burn. Larger and more stable carbides in 100Cr6 bearing steel were noticed to tolerate better the thermal load whereas case-carburised steel underwent more changes in the microstructure and also in the MBN. The work explores the role of structure on carbide stability and discusses the correlation between Barkhausen noise signals and key factors, such as dislocation density, retained austenite fraction, residual stress state, domain wall thickness, and particularly carbide size.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18868,"journal":{"name":"Ndt & E International","volume":"155 ","pages":"Article 103416"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
