Specially designed pass-through electromagnetic–acoustic transducers of transverse waves of axial polarization and transducers of longitudinal waves on the basis of flexible piezoelectric film of polyvinylidene fluoride provide multiple reflection of volume waves along the cross section of the coiled coil of the spring. The elasticity, shear moduli, and Poisson’s ratio are calculated based on the results of wave velocity measurements. It was established that the nonuniformity of acoustic and elastic properties along the length of the bar differs for automotive and railway springs. A linear variation of acoustic and elastic properties along the length of the coiled wire was observed in the railway spring (from one end to the other), caused by the technology of high-temperature mechanical processing.

In order to achieve more efficient detection of micro-cracks in silicon wafers, a scanning laser thermal nondestructive testing system was developed. Using the pseudo static matrix reconstruction algorithm, the experimental data has been converted into static images to provide easier defect detection and evaluation. The influence of geometric characteristics (length, width and depth) of micro-cracks and laser excitation power on surface temperature signals in the laser scanning tests has been studied. The image enhancement techniques, such as linear gray scale transformation, basic function transformation and histogram equalization have been compared. The effectiveness of using super-pixel segmentation, dual threshold segmentation, iterative threshold segmentation and UNet3+ network for improving micro-crack detection efficiency has been explored. Common segmentation techniques have not proven to be useful in the image enhancement because of the presence of noise.

It considers both analytical and finite element (FE) methods to analyse the vibration response of a simply supported beam carrying a moving mass and suffering from an open crack. Timoshenko beam theory has deliberated to investigate the dynamic behavior of a discretely simply supported beam with including shear deformation and rotational inertia under various configurations of open crack and moving mass conditions. The beam was divided into two segments, which obeyed the Timoshenko beam theory and the crack was modeled by a torsional spring with local elasticity at the connecting region of the two segments. The governing equations of the beam transverse vibration were solved based on Hamilton’s principle, and the obtained results are validated with previously published works, including numerical and experimental works. The effect of crack depth (CD) and crack location (CL) with the amount and speed of the moving mass on the dynamic response of the beam have been investigated, where the presence of the crack plays a key role in both free vibration characteristics and dynamic response of the Timoshenko beam. Hence, more nonlinearity and higher deflection in the dynamic behavior have perceived at CL = 0.5 and CD > 0.3 h. The obtained natural frequencies are generally decreased with increasing CD, in which significant drop in the 1st and 3rd natural frequencies have been identified when the crack is located at the mid-span of the beam. A frequency-domain representation under various mode excitations of moving load has evaluated to indicate the presence of the crack within the Timoshenko beam.
