However, the inherent heterogeneity and rapid growth of raw timber frequently introduce structural defects, including knots, cracks, and voids, that severely compromise the mechanical integrity and load-bearing capacity of the final assembly. Traditional non-destructive evaluation (NDE) methods and standard convolutional neural networks (CNNs) often fail to distinguish these structural anomalies from complex natural grain patterns, leading to potential safety risks in construction applications. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a material-property-aware feature co-evolution network named Veneer-AEPNet (VAEPNet), specifically engineered for the high-precision non-destructive grading of structural veneers. The architecture explicitly integrates a dual-stage Transformer mechanism to establish a global texture baseline, effectively identifying macro-scale topological deformations. Simultaneously, we introduce the Adaptive Anisotropic Granular Pooling (AAGP) module to capture directional fiber perturbations and the Global-Contrastive Feature Refinement (GCFR) module to suppress natural background noise by modeling deviations from a global texture reference. The methodology was validated on a large-scale industrial dataset containing 25,000 high-resolution images. Experimental results demonstrate that VAEPNet achieves a test accuracy of 94.47% and an F1-score of 93.91%, achieved the best overall performance among the evaluated baseline models. Furthermore, visualization analysis confirms that the model effectively decouples structural defects from natural wood features, providing a robust solution for automated quality control in NDE 4.0 environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ultrasonic techniques are among the most effective inspection methods, but their limitations–such as the need for physical coupling with the axle and long inspection times–have encouraged the exploration of innovative, contactless solutions. This paper presents the setup and analysis of ultrasonic data collected using Gas-Coupled Laser Acoustic Detection (GCLAD), while employing a pulsed laser as the emitting source. GCLAD is a contactless technology that enables point detection of waves in transmission and reflection at once, offering multiple opportunities to identify defects and discontinuities. The present preliminary study demonstrates the feasibility of inspecting railway axles without disassembling wheelset components, through a fully optical system that acquires and detects ultrasonic waves without contact. This approach maximizes automation and reduces inspection-related times. The devised experimental layout successfully identified defects in the wheel seat area (down to 2.7 mm), brake seat area (7.5 mm), and axle body (0.95 mm), even with mounted wheels. An industrial application highlights the potential suitability of GCLAD-based instrumentation for integration into actual inspection apparatus, supporting efficient monitoring of railway axles while paving the way for improved automation and reduced inspection times.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10921-026-01440-9.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149190021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this issue, a physics-informed random forest compensation method is proposed, and the signal distortion mechanism induced by curvature variation is systematically investigated. Considering that non-differentiable models such as random forests cannot directly incorporate physical priors, a physics information embedding mechanism based on iterative target-value correction is developed. A curvature-domain Laplace operator is employed to construct the physical residual, which is subsequently fed back to the training labels to dynamically refine the prediction targets. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, comparative scanning simulations on curved and flat surfaces as well as experimental verification using Inconel 718 specimens with artificial defects were conducted. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared with the standard random forest model, the improved method reduces the root-mean-square error (RMSE) for flat reference signal compensation under varying curvatures by an average of 72.4% and decreases the standard deviation (STD) by 18.9%. Under the extreme curvature condition of 5 mm, the RMSE improvement reaches 75.5%. In experimental validation, the RMSE values of the compensated signals for different curvatures are reduced by 18% and 96.7%, respectively, while the STD values are reduced by 14% and 18.9%. The compensated signals obtained by the proposed algorithm exhibit substantially higher fidelity to the flat reference signal, effectively mitigating distortion phenomena and facilitating quantitative defect signal analysis. The algorithm demonstrates pronounced physical robustness in curved-surface eddy current signal compensation, providing an effective technical pathway for the correction of eddy current signals acquired on curved geometries.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149189081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method establishes a direct mapping between the wavelet scale factor and angular frequency, enabling time-domain reconstruction from discrete scale-dependent frequencies without global FFT sampling. An adaptive scale-truncation strategy further reduces computational cost by omitting negligible high-frequency components. Numerical results demonstrate that, with the optimal parameters (wavenumber 25 and discretization parameter 0.1), the proposed method requires only 96 frequency points, as opposed to 1000 at a sampling frequency of 1 MHz. This translates to a computational saving of over 90%, while maintaining relative errors below 1% at signal peaks.

Nevertheless, accurate image reconstruction remains difficult owing to the highly ill-conditioned inverse mapping and the diffuse nature of electromagnetic fields, which often result in distorted defect boundaries and unstable reconstructions. Although deep neural networks have demonstrated considerable potential in EMT imaging, their predictions may deviate from underlying physical principles when trained solely from data. To improve both reconstruction accuracy and physical reliability, a physics-guided image reconstruction framework named PI-TransUNet is developed. The framework integrates a TransUNet-based inverse solver with a pretrained differentiable forward surrogate model, forming a closed-loop learning architecture. Spatial positional information is incorporated into the measurement sequence to strengthen topological awareness, while a physics-consistency objective is introduced to regularize the reconstruction process. Furthermore, a progressive weighting strategy is employed to stabilize optimization and facilitate the incorporation of physical constraints. Numerical simulations and laboratory experiments conducted on a nine-coil planar EMT platform demonstrate that the proposed approach achieves superior defect localization, enhanced boundary preservation, and improved robustness against measurement noise.

Gas leaks from these pipelines can pose a significant safety hazard, impact the environment, and cause economic losses. When leakage occurs from the high-pressure pipeline, it creates stress waves due to localised energy release, which can be detected by using acoustic emission (AE) sensors. There have been considerable attempts made in literature to monitor leaks and perform source localisation of leaks in CO<sub>2</sub> pipelines using AE, as this technique is non-invasive and can be monitored in real-time. Most of these studies were performed using a straight CO<sub>2</sub> pipeline. However, most of the pipelines using CO<sub>2</sub> transportation will have bends, joints, and valves, which may impact the strength of the AE signal. Also, the economic viability of using the AE for commercial implementation for pipeline monitoring in industries is not well understood. Therefore, to address these knowledge gaps, this paper focuses on understanding the economic viability through an experimental study. Experiments were conducted on a six-meter pipeline with joints, bends and valves. Static test experiments were conducted under different flow coefficients. Also, attempts were made in the study to identify the source localisation of the leak by adjusting the sensor positions. From the experiments conducted, the minimum leak that could be identified from the valve was 0.5 L/min and from the pipeline was 42 L/min. It was also possible to identify the leak location with good accuracy. From the study conducted and based on international prices of CO<sub>2</sub> gas in December 2025, we observed that the industry could save at least $225,482 USD annually by monitoring leaks from a single valve and approximately 18.9 million USD by monitoring leaks from pipelines using acoustic emission.
