The generation of EMR signals in hydrated samples is primarily driven by the accelerated motion of charged particles through the pore spaces and the time-dependent variation in dipole moments formed at the electrical double layer. As the hydration (curing) progresses, there is a noticeable decrease in EMR voltage, average EMR energy release rate, and dominant frequency. However, these EMR parameters exhibit an increasing trend with the application of higher mechanical impact energy. It was further observed that as hydration advances, the non-evaporable water content and degree of hydration increase, whereas the evaporable water content decreases. Additionally, EMR voltage recorded after fracture was consistently lower than that measured before fracture across all curing days, indicating that crack formation during repetitive loading suppresses EMR emissions. This suggests that cracks formed in the cement-mortar do not facilitate EMR generation. Moreover, the study found an inverse relationship between impact-dependent mechanical parameters and EMR voltage, highlighting that as mechanical resistance to impact increases, EMR voltage decreases. These findings suggest that the EMR technique has significant potential for non-contact, early-age monitoring of civil structures, providing critical insights into their mechanical integrity and performance under load.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142598923","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 signal-to-noise ratio of the AE signal is low. The bearing periodic fault pulse is weak, and fault feature extraction is challenging. To address these issues, combined with the characteristics of impulsiveness and rapid attention of the AE signal, an enhancement of the bearing weak fault signal based on the autocorrelation function (ACF) and improved multipoint optimal minimum entropy deconvolution adjusted (MOMEDA) method is proposed in this contribution. Firstly, in low signal-to-noise ratio, the target vector of the MOMEDA method is not optimal, and the diagnostic accuracy is low. To address this problem, this paper improves MOMEDA by using the gradient descent method, called GMOMEDA. Rolling bearing fault AE pulse signals are enhanced. Then, a method combination of ACF and GMOMEDA highlights the periodic elastic wave in the signal. Finally, the enhanced AE signal is processed by envelope demodulation to extract the frequency of the bearing fault signal.

Thus, accurately identifying damage and stress conditions in these materials is crucial. In this study, martensitic stainless steel, a type of ferromagnetic material, is chosen as the subject for investigation. A weak magnetic detection device is engineered specifically for this purpose, and tests are conducted on the material using this device. The stress value of the material is determined using X-ray diffraction, while magnetic induction intensity is simultaneously recorded with a weak magnetic detection device along the same path. The stress value and magnetic induction intensity are normalized, and the results are analyzed to establish a correlation between weak magnetic signals and stress. Then, a signal processing technique combining blind source separation and eigenvalue recognition is introduced to achieve stress concentration and microdefect location identification. This method is based on the correlation analysis results between weak magnetic signals and stress, as well as supporting evidence from prior studies. The experimental results demonstrate that the location of stress concentration can be accurately determined by identifying the peak or valley value of weak magnetic signals, with an error range of less than 30%. The algorithm of blind source separation and eigenvalue recognition can pinpoint the location of stress concentration and microdefects from the obtained signal.

Although solutions to this issue have been sought for decades, no widely employed technique for monitoring growth of inorganic deposits (or ‘scaling’) in pipelines exists. In this research, a means of detecting the onset of scaling growth, by processing resonance testing data, was sought. For the resonance testing measurements the pipeline segment of interest is equipped with acceleration sensors which record signals generated by impacting the pipeline with a steel tip. The signals are Fourier transformed and analysed in the frequency domain, where a clear shift in frequency peak positions can be observed as the scaling thickness changes. How best to extract quantitative information from the generated frequency data is an open question. In this research, two data analysis approaches for scaling thickness prediction are compared: a supervised (binary classification) machine learning approach as well as a comparison-based change detection approach using cross-correlation. The supervised machine learning approach yields generalizable results for different acceleration sensors and impactor diameters whilst the change detection approach is sensitive from a scaling thickness of 0.5 mm. Whilst this research is specific to the pipe–scaling geometry—and type used in the experiments conducted, resonance testing can be applied to any pipe–scaling combination. The robustness of the data processing approaches presented in this work, when applied to other pipe–scaling materials and geometries, is the next point of research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"43 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10921-024-01132-2.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142434799","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}

By harnessing the unique ability of THz radiation to penetrate timber wood and AI algorithms, defect classification, segmentation, and characterization can be made possible. Here, a custom-made convolutional neural network has been optimized for the classification of the defects in timber wood into four classes – no defect, knot, small knot, and decay, yielding a classification accuracy of over 96%. Further, the custom classification model has been extended for thicker wooden samples with internal hidden defects using transfer learning and has yielded a classification accuracy of over 93%. Following classification, a U-Net-based segmentation algorithm has been developed to delineate the defect boundaries in THz images accurately with a high dice coefficient of over 0.90. Further, a YOLO-based algorithm has been utilized to characterize the defects by localizing the position of the defect using bounding boxes with a high F1 score of over 0.97. An accurate prediction of the defect dimension has been demonstrated using this algorithm with a percentage error of less than 4% for all the types of defects in the timber wood.
