Corrosion of the reinforcement or damage to the material structure can occur in the sleeper without any visible external signs. Therefore, non-destructive testing methods are required to reliably assess the condition. In this work, six prestressed concrete sleepers of type B70 are examined using the impact-echo method. Three different actuation methods are applied: a manually operated impact-hammer, an electromechanically mounted impact-cylinder and an air-coupled supersonic jet flow. All three actuation types show similar and consistent spectrograms. In intact rail sleepers, a dominant frequency above 10 kHz is always visible. In contrast, damaged sleepers show a dominant frequency significantly below 10 kHz. This simple threshold analysis can already be used for a condition assessment of the sleepers. Since the supersonic jet flow is continuous, an air-coupled inspection during travel at up to 80 km/h is theoretically possible. Since the nozzles are inexpensive, robust and virtually maintenance-free, a multi-channel actuation could be realised with little effort. In the future, the entire sleeper could be inspected non-destructively in a single high-speed pass, including a real-time condition assessment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10921-026-01404-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148613760","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}

Vibration-based structural health monitoring (SHM) has emerged as a promising technique for reliably detecting and assessing such damage. This approach leverages the principle that damage induces local stiffness discontinuities, altering vibrational parameters such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, and damping. Research in this area has focused on using frequency shifts across multiple modes and applying inverse algorithms like Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) or Genetic Algorithms (GA) to predict the location and extent of damage. Training these machine learning algorithms (MLAs) requires extensive databases of frequency shifts corresponding to various damage parameters. To address the computational demands of database generation, numerical models offer an economical alternative. This study introduces a novel numerical methodology for evaluating frequency shifts in FRP composite laminates subjected to impact damage, facilitating machine learning-based non-destructive evaluation. The approach employs finite element modelling with restart analysis to efficiently simulate multiple damage scenarios without the need for complex parametric mappings. Simulations of composite plates under various impact energies demonstrate the method's effectiveness in characterizing cumulative damage through frequency shifts, particularly at higher energy levels, where it outperforms conventional techniques. The study also examines the influence of different damage criteria, including two-dimensional and three-dimensional Hashin models, on frequency shifts and mode shapes, showcasing the versatility of the proposed method. By streamlining the generation of extensive frequency shift databases, this approach significantly enhances the training of MLAs for inverse damage identification. The methodology has the potential to advance SHM techniques for composite structures across aerospace, automotive, and wind energy applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148466216","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 DI derived from PLB-AE characteristics can be correlated with damage and used to identify the transition in damage mode. Likewise, the acoustic nonlinearity coefficient obtained from nonlinear ultrasonic testing (NLUT) shows higher sensitivity to impact damage and reflects changes in damage modes. A pronounced shift in the trends of both the DI and the nonlinearity coefficient occurs around 30 J, indicating that a transition in damage mechanisms takes place near this impact energy in the tested laminated structures.

Repeated filling and discharging in use may cause material fatigue, leading to plastic deformation and eventual failure. Permanent volumetric expansion is a key safety and quality indicator for cylinders. Traditional methods, whether direct expansion method or water jacket method, require dedicated equipment and sites, cannot realize in-situ inspection, and cannot capture localized plastic deformation. They are also inefficient and costly. To enable accurate in-situ measurement of permanent volumetric expansion, this paper proposes a method based on 3D point cloud modeling, combining laser scanning with theoretical analysis and experimental comparison. Using 3D laser scanning, point cloud data of five cylinders were collected before and after hydraulic testing. Triangular mesh models were constructed from the data, and permanent volumetric expansion was derived from volume change calculations. Experimental results compared with the water jacket method show that the proposed method uses fewer devices, is simple to operate, and yields small errors, confirming its feasibility. More importantly, unlike existing methods that only reflect overall deformation, this method accurately and intuitively reveals deformation at each local section of the cylinder. This is significant for precisely assessing cylinder safety. The method demonstrates clear advantages over similar techniques and offers engineering practicality. Future work may establish corresponding measurement and evaluation standards based on this method’s technical features.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148465668","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}

One potential application of such task is the management of the in-service HDRBs in base-isolated civil infrastructures. This article examined the potential of the Electro-Mechanical Admittance (EMA) method to provide an identification of shear deformation levels in HDRBs by using piezoelectric ceramic (PZT). A novel electro-mechanical coupling model that integrated structural mechanical impedance with two-spring model theory was proposed to analytically resolve the correlation between the EMA spectrums and vertical stiffness/damping associated to shear deformations in the HDRB, which was further validated by generating a full-scaled three-dimensional finite element (FE) model and performing experimental tests on an identical HDRB subjected to different shear deformations from 0% to 60% and constant compressive stress of 12 MPa. Theoretical, numerical and experimental investigations consistently revealed that the resonant peaks in the EMA signatures of PZT transducers bonded on the rubber layer exhibited gradual reduction of the resonance frequency accompanied with magnitude increase with increasing shear deformations, while that of the transducers bonded on steel end plate behaved inverse characteristics. Extraction of the resonance parameters favorably confirmed the EMA signatures as a linear function of the shear deformations in the HDRB, thus providing quantifiable estimation.

Under extreme loads such as explosive impacts and falling object impacts, they are prone to sudden structural collapse due to the continuous accumulation of internal damage. However, traditional detection methods can only obtain macroscopic mechanical responses and cannot realize real-time dynamic monitoring of the entire process of damage initiation and propagation. As a passive dynamic non-destructive testing method, acoustic emission (AE) technology can achieve real-time characterization of internal damage by capturing elastic wave signals released by material damage. Nevertheless, its application under impact load conditions still suffers from the lack of a systematic correlation mechanism between damage and parameters. This paper proposes a multi-parameter fusion analysis method based on AE information entropy CV. By conducting increasing-amplitude drop weight impact tests on RC slabs with three thicknesses (80, 100 and 120 mm), the mechanical responses, stiffness degradation and AE characteristics were systematically investigated. The results show that the cumulative displacement-stiffness degradation model proposed in this paper can effectively quantify the degradation rate through the attenuation index α after component failure, and this parameter decreases with increasing slab thickness. This corresponds to different failure modes: the 80 mm slab exhibits rapid stiffness degradation and damage-accumulative punching shear failure, the 120 mm thick slab undergoes a more ductile punching shear failure, and the 100 mm thick slab presents a transitional response. In addition, AE information entropy CV can serve as an early warning indicator for component damage and failure. The evaluation system constructed by combining multi-dimensional signal characteristics including AE activity analysis, AE information entropy CV, RA-AF distribution and b-value with macroscopic data such as displacement can accurately characterize damage stages, crack modes and failure precursors, providing a quantitative basis for damage identification and health monitoring of RC structures under impact loads. Unlike single-parameter methods, which may fail when damage becomes complex, the proposed multi-parameter fusion strategy overcomes this limitation, and simultaneous anomalies across multiple parameters provide stronger evidence of impending failure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148465118","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}
