Among active methods, pulsed thermography (PT) and lock-in thermography (LT) are widely used, while frequency-modulated thermal wave imaging (FMTWI) offers superior defect detectability and depth resolution through pulse compression. This study presents an experimental evaluation on a hardened steel specimen, commonly used in the shipbuilding industry, containing a flat-bottom hole defect, using PT, LT, and FMTWI. The defect detection potential of FMTWI is further assessed through three post-processing strategies: frequency domain phase (FDP), time domain phase (TDP), and cross-correlation coefficient (CCC). Results demonstrate that the FMTWI, CCC combination yields the most reliable and high-contrast defect visualization, outperforming other approaches in both clarity and depth sensitivity. The study emphasizes the critical role of optimizing excitation-processing pairs to enhance the performance of thermal NDT&E techniques.","PeriodicalId":764,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing","volume":"62 1","pages":"96 - 110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147714858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This will significantly restrict the scope of EMAT applications. Therefore, this study proposes a novel wavelength-tunable Rayleigh wave EMAT (WT-RW-EMAT) with high conversion efficiency. This transducer consists of a periodic permanent magnet (PPM) and a coil array (CA). The PPM consists of five rectangular permanent magnets arranged side by side in opposite polarity, with the CA wound separately between adjacent magnets. This configuration generates strong horizontal magnetic fields periodically at the junctions of neighboring magnets. This allows the CA to fully utilize these strong horizontal magnetic fields for exciting Rayleigh waves to improve conversion efficiency. The wavelengths of Rayleigh waves excited by WT-RW-EMAT are tunable through phase control. A finite element model of the WT-RW-EMAT is established using COMSOL Multiphysics, and the performance of the proposed WT-RW-EMAT is studied. The effectiveness is verified by experiments. The proposed EMAT configuration improves the amplitude of the Rayleigh wave by 74.2%. The simulations and experiments showed that the wavelength of Rayleigh waves excited by WT-RW-EMAT is tunable by controlling the time delay of the excitation signal of each coil. With an increase in time delay, the wavelength linearly decreases, and the center frequency nonlinearly increases. This transducer has significant potential applications in detecting gradient properties of a medium.","PeriodicalId":764,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing","volume":"62 1","pages":"28 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147714852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While ultrasonic testing is widely used, the precision of common manual sizing techniques varies significantly. This study establishes controlled benchmark data for three established methods: distance amplitude correction (DAC), distance gain size (DGS), and the 20-dB drop technique, tested under strictly controlled laboratory conditions. Artificial defects were embedded in shielded metal arc welds and verified by radiography before ultrasonic inspection with 45° and 70° probes. DAC signals often exceeded reference levels, making sizing impossible. DGS was limited to flaws smaller than 10 mm and consistently underestimated size. The 20-dB drop method achieved the highest accuracy, measuring a 4.00 mm defect as 4.02 ± 0.02 mm, with stable results across probe angles. The findings demonstrate that a simple geometric approach can yield reliable, repeatable sizing under laboratory conditions. The study’s scope was limited to lateral sizing by a single operator; future work should expand to multi-operator trials, height measurements, and field conditions for full validation.","PeriodicalId":764,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing","volume":"62 1","pages":"57 - 67"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147714857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although dry coupling offers a more practical alternative, static models are insufficient to describe the fluctuating interface conditions encountered during scanning inspections. To address this limitation, we develop a dynamic dry-coupling model that incorporates time-varying contact stiffness, linking applied pressure, surface roughness, and material properties within the classical acoustic reflection framework. Finite element simulations using COMSOL Multiphysics were employed to determine the empirical scaling factor α, ensuring that the formulation remained physically consistent while avoiding arbitrary parameter fitting. Experimental validation was performed on a robotic ultrasonic testing platform equipped with a 5 MHz dual-element probe and a stepped 1018 steel block prepared with multiple surface roughness levels. By systematically varying scanning speed, contact pressure, and interface roughness, a comprehensive set of dynamic ultrasonic data was obtained. The results demonstrated clear periodic modulation of reflection amplitudes consistent with theoretical predictions, with discrepancies generally within ±10%. Collectively, these findings establish a robust and predictive framework for modeling ultrasonic reflection under dry-coupled conditions, providing a reliable basis for evaluating coupling quality in practical inspection scenarios.","PeriodicalId":764,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing","volume":"62 1","pages":"68 - 80"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147714800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is established that a number of internal defects are not identified by the methods used for testing targets (these defects appear only during vidicon operation). For the targets, a study of the substrate structure and the formed topology, as well as the surface of the photosensitive elements, was carried out using X-ray diffractometry and a developed optical microscope with the formation of a diffraction image. A substrate strain was established that led to the formation of mechanical stresses with an increase in the concentration of charge carrier generation centers. A significant violation of the (111) orientation in the structure of the Si target substrate was detected. A new result was obtained that explains the formation of white illumination in the recorded images during vidicon testing, and two reasons for the formation of an internal defect in the target, which led to its appearance, were established. These are: uneven impact along the edges of the target when pressing it onto the indium ring and uneven application of layers during the manufacture of its structure. A new nondestructive method for testing silicon targets has been developed to detect this internal defect and others during their manufacture before installation in the vidicon. A number of measures have been proposed to eliminate these defects during the implementation of the technological process.","PeriodicalId":764,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing","volume":"62 1","pages":"111 - 122"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147714801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors explore the method of active thermal control as a promising alternative to traditional methods (visual, multispectral, hyperspectral). The main idea of the method is to periodically heat the tuber surface with infrared radiation and then analyze not only the amplitude but also the phase of temperature fluctuations on the surface using a thermal imaging camera. Numerical modeling in the COMSOL environment and subsequent experiments on real samples have shown that the proposed method makes it possible to effectively detect both surface and subsurface defects (for example, dry rot) at a depth of up to 2 mm, while reducing the influence of contamination, glare, and uneven illumination due to the curvature of the surface. It has been established that low periodic heating frequencies (less than 0.1 Hz) and a heat flux density of up to 1700 W/m2 should be used for optimal detection of defects at various depths. The use of an artificial neural network to classify images based on amplitude and phase components has made it possible to achieve 88% error detection accuracy.","PeriodicalId":764,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Nondestructive Testing","volume":"62 1","pages":"81 - 95"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147714851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
