A comprehensive simulation dataset was generated using the finite element method (FEM) within the CST Studio Suite software environment for twelve materials exhibiting a wide dielectric spectrum. These data were used to train an XGBoost regression model designed to capture the nonlinear relationship between dielectric properties and microwave reflection behavior inside a rectangular waveguide. The model's prediction performance was evaluated using multiple error metrics, yielding high accuracy with R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9472, MAE = 0.1734, and MAPE = 2.52%. To assess the model's generalization capability, it was tested on an unseen simulation dataset, achieving an R<sup>2</sup> value of 0.9059 and confirming reliable interpolation capabilities within the evaluated parametric limits of the simulation space. Furthermore, a sim-to-real validation was conducted through experimental measurements using plexiglass, wood (Scots pine), and alumina ceramic surface plate (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>) samples in the 1.72–6 GHz frequency band. The experimental results demonstrated strong agreement with ground-truth dielectric constants, with an average MAPE of 9.46%. SHAP-based explainability analysis revealed that the reflection amplitude is the dominant feature guiding the model’s predictions, consistent with electromagnetic theory. Overall, the findings confirm that the proposed surrogate model serves as a computationally efficient proof-of-concept framework. While its full generalization requires wider empirical validation, this initial implementation demonstrates an agile alternative for specific material classes by bypassing computationally expensive analytical inversion techniques.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148909540","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, the presence of fatigue cracks remains a persistent threat to long-term structural safety. It is thus imperative to develop highly efficient and accurate methods for fatigue crack identification and location. In this context, a single-sensor acoustic emission (AE) damage location framework is developed based on continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and convolutional neural network (CNN), which leverages the high sensitivity of AE and the strong learning ability of artificial intelligence. CWT helps to represent the all-around propagation characteristics of AE signals in the time–frequency domain. CNN model then extracts those location sensitive features from CWT maps and predicts the location of AE damage sources. A field pencil lead break (PLB) experiment was conducted on an OSD segment in the operating status of the long-span bridge to validate the performance of the developed method, where a series of CNN models, including AlexNet, VGG19, and ResNet18, were established and compared.

The core issues lie in the fundamental trade-off between expanding the receptive field and preserving fine spatial details, as well as the background noise introduced by indiscriminate feature propagation during decoder fusion. To address these challenges, we propose a novel and improved U-Net architecture named DLE-UNet. First, we design a decoupled collaborative dual-path encoder. By structurally separating the contextual semantic stream from the spatial detail stream, it achieves synergistic optimization of large receptive fields and high-resolution details, thereby mitigating the loss of minute defect features in deep layers. Second, we introduce a cascaded boundary refinement decoder. In its initial stage, a Large-kernel Group Attention Gating module performs coarse feature screening to suppress background noise. Subsequently, a content-guided upsampling module conducts sub-pixel-level refinement of boundary features. Experiments on an aluminum casting defect dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms existing approaches on key metrics such as the F1-score (81.3%) and Intersection over Union (IoU, 68.4%). Notably, it maintains a superior recall rate while achieving high precision, validating its advanced capability and robustness in performing high-integrity, high-precision segmentation of minute defects in complex industrial scenarios.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148928092","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, in eddy current testing, lift-off disturbance significantly affects signals, causing nonlinear coupling between wire breakage severity and lift-off, which reduces evaluation accuracy and stability. To address this issue, a lift-off-resilient method for quantitative detection of broken-wire defects is proposed. First, a coaxial dual-receiver coil probe is designed to extract the minimum voltage values from the near and far receiver coils as dual features, thereby enhancing the system's capability to distinguish between lift-off variation and defect severity. Subsequently, a nonlinear relationship between voltage features and wire breakage severity is established based on finite element simulations under controlled lift-off conditions, and validated experimentally. Based on this, a forward model is constructed using natural neighbor interpolation, and a genetic algorithm is employed for global optimization, enabling the simultaneous inversion of wire breakage severity and lift-off value. The results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively mitigates the influence of lift-off variation on detection results, achieving a relative inversion error of less than 1%, while maintaining high accuracy and stability under varying defect severities and lift-off conditions. Compared with conventional single-coil methods, the proposed approach significantly improves inversion accuracy and stability, and effectively resolves the nonlinear coupling between lift-off effect and defect severity through a dual-feature and dual-parameter inversion framework. This study provides a reliable solution for high-precision quantitative detection of broken-wire defects in complex industrial environments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":655,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation","volume":"45 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148838285","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}

Firstly, rotors under normal(<i>N</i>), cracked(<i>C</i>), and reversed-blade(<i>R</i>) conditions are separately assembled into the same pump. Under identical operating conditions, 4-channel AE signals are collected near the inlet and outlet with a sampling frequency of 1 MHz. Secondly, single-cycle sub-signals are extracted from the acquired raw signals. After wavelet denoising(WD) and whitening processing, a feature matrix is constructed and decomposed by SVD to obtain four orthogonal modes. Subsequently, each orthogonal mode is processed using 3-layer wavelet packet decomposition(WPD), and the CF values of the first four nodes are calculated. Through preliminary screening based on the relative increase and dual-threshold verification combining the silhouette coefficient and coefficient of variation, third-layer WPD Node (3,1) is determined as the optimal sensitive feature node. Finally, discrimination thresholds are established based on the Shapiro–Wilk normality test and the 99% two-sided confidence interval. The experimental results show that, after WPD of the orthogonal modes, the CF feature of Node (3,1) provides the best state discrimination capability. Using <i>T</i><sub><i>N-C</i></sub> = 115.0 kHz and <i>T</i><sub><i>R-N</i></sub> = 118.0 kHz as the core thresholds, the proposed method accurately identifies the three rotor states, with an identification accuracy close to 100%.

Given the wide variety of brands and the considerable variation in product quality in the current market, there is an urgent need for a rapid, non-destructive, and brand-independent universal detection technology to regulate the market, protect consumer rights, and strengthen quality control during production. This study aims to develop a quantitative prediction model for the infrared rejection rate of automotive window films based on hyperspectral imaging technology. A total of 765 window film samples from five major brands were collected, and their visible-near-infrared hyperspectral data were acquired. To optimize spectral quality, six preprocessing methods-none, Savitzky-Golay smoothing, standard normal variate (SNV), baseline correction, detrending, and Normalization-were applied. Feature wavelength selection was performed using three algorithms: successive projections algorithm (SPA), competitive adaptive reweighted sampling (CARS), and uninformative variable elimination (UVE). The optimal number of principal components was determined using ten-fold cross-validation, the one-standard-error (1-SE) rule, and a threshold of CV R<sup>2</sup> ≥ 0.80 to avoid overfitting. Subsequently, a partial least squares regression (PLSR) model was established for quantitative prediction of the infrared rejection rate. The results indicated that SNV and Normalization preprocessing yielded the best performance, significantly improving prediction accuracy and model stability. The CARS algorithm achieved the best balance between dimensionality reduction and prediction accuracy. The final optimal detection scheme was determined as Normalization preprocessing combined with CARS feature extraction and PLSR modeling. A total of 140 feature wavelengths were selected, reducing the dimensionality by 65.1% compared to the full spectrum. The model achieved a test set R<sup>2</sup> of 0.9344, RMSEP of 5.03, and RPD of 3.92, with a strong fit between predicted and measured values, a uniform residual distribution, and no significant overfitting.

The excitation sequence is designed using a brute-force optimization framework to achieve favourable pulse-compression characteristics and an enhanced matched-filter response, enabling effective concentration of thermal energy within a narrow main lobe while suppressing sidelobe energy distribution. Experimental investigations are carried out on a mild steel pipeline specimen containing multiple artificial defects representing localized material loss.

The performance of the proposed excitation scheme is quantitatively evaluated and compared with Linear Frequency Modulated Thermal Wave Imaging (LFMTWI) using spatial and temporal signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) as the primary figures of merit. The results demonstrate that the optimized 15-bit coded excitation, particularly when combined with CCC processing, provides significantly higher SNR, improved defect contrast, and superior detectability of deeper defects compared to LFMTWI and phase-based processing methods.
