FEBI alleviates the extra computational costs of truncation region in finite element method (FEM) and the difficulty in derivation of the Green’s function in boundary element method (BEM). The boundary integral equation (BIE) selected is the combined field integral equation (CFIE) in the TENH (tangential testing of electric field and normal testing of magnetic field) form, which shows better convergence compared with other forms. In BEM, the equivalent electric and magnetic surface currents are expanded by Rao-Wilton-Glisson (RWG) vector basis functions. While in FEM, the electric field and electric surface current are expanded by tetrahedron-based edge elements and RWG vector basis functions, respectively. The discretized matrix achieved by BEM and FEM is coupled by the field continuity conditions. For ECNDT problems, inhomogeneous meshes are required due to the small size of cracks or slots than the whole solution domain. It makes the convergence for solving the coupled matrix formed by the sparse matrix generated by FEM and the dense matrix produced by BEM worse, thus, precondition is required for FEBI solution in iterative method, which complicates the solving procedure. To alleviate the cumbersome solving process, the inward-looking formulation method is studied to work as precondition by solving the inverse of FEM matrix directly, and then the coupled discretized matrix is solved iteratively. By evaluating several ECNDT benchmark cases involving the cylindrical flaws and surface slots, the predicted impedance changes achieved by FEBI method are compared with those by semi-analytical method, FEM, and experiment which demonstrates that the proposed FEBI method based forward solver can simulate the ECNDT problems both accurately and efficiently.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778165","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 service environment involves harsh conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, corrosion, and fatigue, placing high demands on structural safety. Due to the complex surface defects of steel pipes and the similarity of defect types, the assessment of the surface quality of steel pipes still relies on manual visual inspection. Based on these issues, this paper proposes a semi-bilateral efficient self-attention network (SBSANet) for quantifying the severity of internal surface defects in steel pipes. Firstly, a semi-bilateral and jump connection structure was designed to effectively compensate for information loss during the encoding process. Then, a multi-head attention encoding (MHAE) module was proposed to enable long-distance pixel interactions. Finally, a multi-scale residual context extraction (MSRCE) module was designed at the end of the encoder, effectively extracting multi-scale contextual information and enhancing the network’s segmentation capability. Experimental results show that compared to other networks, the proposed method exhibits superior performance. SBSANet achieves a mean intersection over union (mIoU) of 78.48% on a self-made dataset and a running speed of 91.62 FPS, with mIoU of 81.28% and a running speed of 92.70 FPS on the NEU-Seg strip steel dataset.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749213","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}

However, EIT is an ill-posed inverse problem and requires regularization to achieve a physically meaningful solution. Many materials-based practitioners of EIT make use of relatively simple regularization methods. This is important because the choice of the regularizer <i>significantly</i> impacts final image quality. Choosing poorly can misrepresent the damage state of the material to the inspector, ultimately undermining the potential of this modality. This manuscript thus serves as a primer for researchers using EIT for damage detection and localization by applying several common regularization techniques and one new technique to six experimental data sets. Notably, experimental data is taken from components of representative complexity and/or subject to non-trivial loading or realistic damage in an effort to transition the research away from the overly-simplified shapes and conditions that permeate the current state-of-the-art. It is shown that there is no one-size-fits-all regularization method; materials-based EIT practitioners must guide selection of the appropriate regularization method with knowledge of what they intend to image.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749212","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}

Therefore, many studies can be found that focus on measuring the volume fractions of multiphase flows without any interruption or separation in the process. One of the key factors highly impacting on the accuracy of the measurements is the scale layer formed in the pipelines. When there is a scale in the transmission lines, it significantly affects measurement accuracy, sensor performance, and fluid dynamics. In this paper, a new approach, including two distinct sensors, photon-attenuation-based and capacitance-based, in conjunction with an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), is presented to measure scale thickness in multiphase oil-gas-water homogeneous fluids. The intelligent model has 2 inputs. While the first input is generated by simulating a capacitive sensor, the concave type, in the COMSOL Multiphysics software, the second input comes from counting rays traveling from a Cobalt-60 source to a detector. This counting is calculated using the Beer-Lambert equations. By considering an interval equal to 10% of material in each ratio, in total, 726 data are accumulated resulting in collecting enough data to measure the scale thickness with a high level of precision. The investigated range for the thickness of the metering scale inside a pipe with a gas-oil-water homogeneous fluid is from 0 cm to 1 cm. Moreover, to reach the lowest amount of Mean Absolute Error (MAE), a number of networks with various hyperparameters were run in MATLAB software, and the best model had MAE equal to 0.46 illustrating the accuracy of the proposed metering system in predicting scale thickness.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749211","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 MBN amplitude spectrum is obtained using the Short Time Fourier Transform (STFT) method under various mechanical conditions. The relationship between the amplitude spectrum and stress (or hardness) is analyzed in a point-by-point manner within the spectrums. A linear equation is employed to fit the dependence of mechanical property on the amplitude spectrum. Subsequently, the slope of the linearized equation is calculated to construct a sensitivity matrix. The optimal region is selected based on the amplitude spectrum region exhibiting high sensitivity. Goodness of fit, rate of change, and absolute error are employed as indicators to assess the parameters’ capability in characterizing mechanical properties.
