The relevance. The development of technical means for non-destructive testing and remote sensing is an important practical task. This is primarily due to the fact that modern means of non-destructive testing open up ample opportunities for the introduction of new technologies and increase the economic efficiency of measures for the maintenance of various technical and construction objects at a relatively low cost of such work. In this regard, the development of computational algorithms for processing primary data and software products for the subsequent interpretation of the results obtained using computer engineering systems is of great importance. The purpose of the work is to review technical means, signal processing methods and some computer-oriented engineering systems for solving problems of detecting various defects in engineering structures and building structures. Materials and methods. The paper provides a brief overview of methods for processing primary data sets obtained using pulsed GPR. At the next stage, processing is carried out using the GeoVizy program. Finally, the main focus of the work is on the analysis of the capabilities of modern computer engineering tools. Also used the numerical - analytical methods of the modern theory of diffraction and methods of signal analysis in the space-time domain. Results. The results are based not only on scientific articles, but also on the analysis of the capabilities of modern computer modeling systems, as well as some mathematical models obtained by the author. Conclusions. The results presented in the article allow one to talk about a new direction in scientific research. This direction can be defined as combined multi-parametric analysis - CoMPA. The purpose of this direction is to conduct research of various interrelated processes in technical structures by using the methods of mathematical physics, combining not only the analysis of their interaction with fields of different physical nature, but also involving the appropriate models from various areas of mathematical physics. The significance of the results obtained consists not only of new models of data processing and interpretation, but also of the prospects for further progress in the field of technical means of control and diagnostics.

Relevance of the problem of the development of technical means (GPR) and algorithms for processing ultra-wideband signals follows from the wide range of possibilities that these means of non-destructive testing and remote sensing provides, together with the potential of modern computing tools and software. Of particular interest in this regard are the results obtained by using various effects associated with a change in the polarization state of both primary (probing) pulses and signals reflected from complex multilayer media to detect defects in them. This is due to the possibility of not only quickly detecting heterogeneities, but also with the relatively low cost of such work. The purpose of the work is a review of various technical means (pulsed georadars) and signal processing methods for detecting various internal inhomogeneities in plane-layered media. These heterogeneities include, in addition to various internal communications elements (cables) and technical elements (drainage pipes), also dangerous externally invisible defects - subsurface cracks and delamination (interruption of contact between the layers). Materials and methods. The paper provides an overview of methods developed by the author, among others, which are designed to solve primarily the practical problems of detecting subsurface inhomogeneities and defects in plane-layered media. The physical basis for the creation of these methods was the result of many years of research by the author related to the analysis of the polarization state of complex (including pulsed) signals scattered by various objects. Results. The basis of the considered results is made up of both scientific articles and patents of Ukraine for inventions and utility models obtained by the author. Conclusions. The review of the results and various methods presented in the article is another confirmation of the wide possibilities offered by new means of remote sensing and non-destructive testing. These tools include not only the devices themselves (elements for obtaining primary data), but also information processing algorithms and software, combined into a single methodology for collecting, processing and subsequent storage of data on the current state of the examined technical and natural objects.

Abstract The methods of non-destructive testing have an important role in the problem of maintenance of transport and transport infrastructure. They make possible the early detection of internal defects in engineering structures and elements of vehicle design. The samples of composite materials used in the construction of transport infrastructure elements and transport vehicles have been tested. This paper shows the features of AE, which may allow more efficient and accurate analysis of the state of composite objects. The relation of the intensity and frequency characteristics of signals has been revealed. This work discusses the possibility of unambiguous identification of the stage of composite object destruction on the basis of these parameters.

A computer model and the results of a numerical experiment for a sensitive element on a planar mushroom-shaped metamaterial with cells of the “Maltese cross” type are presented. The proposed electrodynamic structure is shown to be applicable for nondestructive testing of geometric and electrophysical parameters of technological media, as well as searching for inhomogeneities in them. Resonant frequency shift and change of the attenuation coefficient value of the structure serve as informative parameters.
