Subsurface Defects

Detection of subsurface defects is undeniably a growing subfield of infrared non-destructive testing (IR-NDT). There are many algorithms used for this purpose, where non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) is considered to be an interesting alternative to principal component analysis (PCA) by having no negative basis in matrix decomposition. Here, an application of Semi non-negative matrix factorization (Semi-NMF) in IR-NDT is presented to determine the subsurface defects of an Aluminum plate specimen through active thermographic method. To benchmark, the defect detection accuracy and computational load of the Semi-NMF approach is compared to state-of-the-art thermography processing approaches such as: principal component thermography (PCT), Candid Covariance-Free Incremental Principal Component Thermography (CCIPCT), Sparse PCT, Sparse NMF and standard NMF with gradient descend (GD) and non-negative least square (NNLS). The results show 86% accuracy for 27.5s computational time for SemiNMF, which conclusively indicate the promising performance of the approach in the field of IR-NDT.

Among widely used non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, infrared thermography (IRT) has gained importance due to its fast, whole-field, remote and quantitative inspection capabilities for the evaluation of various materials. Being fast and easy to implement, pulsed thermography (PT) plays a vital role in the infrared thermographic community. This paper provides a physical insight into the selection of empirical orthogonal functions obtained from principal component pulsed thermography for the detection of subsurface defects located inside a mild steel specimen.

In recent years, due to the shortage of timber resources, it has become necessary to reduce the excessive consumption of forest resources. Non-destructive testing technology can quickly find wood defects and effectively improve wood utilization. Deep learning has achieved significant results as one of the most commonly used methods in the detection of wood knots. However, compared with convolutional neural networks in other fields, the depth of deep learning models for the detection of wood knots is still very shallow. This is because the number of samples marked in the wood detection is too small, which limits the accuracy of the final prediction of the results. In this paper, ResNet-34 is combined with transfer learning, and a new TL-ResNet34 deep learning model with 35 convolution depths is proposed to detect wood knot defects. Among them, ResNet-34 is used as a feature extractor for wood knot defects. At the same time, a new method TL-ResNet34 is proposed, which combines ResNet-34 with transfer learning. After that, the wood knot defect dataset was applied to TL-ResNet34 for testing. The results show that the detection accuracy of the dataset trained by TL-ResNet34 is significantly higher than that of other methods. This shows that the final prediction accuracy of the detection of wood knot defects can be improved by TL-ResNet34.

Scanning Acoustic Microscopy (SAM) has been a powerful non-destructive testing tool used in electronic packaging and material characterization. With the development of 3D electronic packaging, internal dimensions of electronic packaging are getting more and more smaller, and the detection accuracy of existing non-destructive testing technology is far behind the requirements of manufacturing technology. In this study, a set of practical SAM system was developed independently by our Lab. And its detection resolution was analyzed using high frequency focused transducers with center frequency ranging from 20 MHz to 100MHz. The experimental results show that the lateral resolution of the ultrasonic transducer with 100MHz central frequency can reach about 40 microns, which is consistent with calculated resolution. Comparing with Sparrow criteria, Rayleigh criteria is more coherent with the experimental results.

Prestressed concrete (PSC) is widely used for the construction of bridges. The collapse of several bridges with PSC has been reported, and insufficient grout and tendon corrosion were found inside the ducts of these bridges. Therefore, non-destructive testing (NDT) technology is important for identifying defects inside ducts in PSC structures. Electromagnetic (EM) waves have limited detection of internal defects in ducts due to strong reflections from the surface of the steel ducts. Spectral analysis of the existing impact echo (IE) method is limited to specific conditions. Moreover, the flexural mode in upper defects of ducts located at a shallow depth and delamination defects inside ducts are not considered. In this study, the applicability of the elastic wave of IE was analyzed, and multichannel analysis of surface, EM, and shear waves was employed to evaluate six types of PSC structures. A procedure using EM waves, IE, and principal component analysis (PCA) was proposed for a more accurate classification of defect types inside ducts. The proposed procedure was effective in classifying upper, internal, and delamination defects of ducts under 100 mm in thickness, and it could be utilized up to 200 mm in the case of duct defect limitations.

In this paper the specimens of Aluminum 2024 with 5 millimeter in thickness are joined together by friction stir welding with travel speed of 100 mm/min and tool rotational speeds of 450, 900 and 1800 rpm and a tool were made of hot working steel, H13, firstly. Thus three kinds of welds are produced. Radiography and ultrasonic (UT) non-destructive testing (NDT) procedure were applied to characterize the presence and geometry of possible weld defects prior to mechanical destructive testing. A Echograph Model 1090 digital UT instrumentation and a 4 MHz angle beam probe (refraction angle α = 70°) was used for C-scan of UT contact testing of welded samples (transverse UT velocity 2850 m/s and signal amplification 40 dB). The detection accuracy of defects can be improved by image fusion of ultrasonic and radiography data. For this reason, the data of the two sensors are transformed into a same scale images (length, width and also depth). Pixel by pixel image fusion is used for fusion and analysis. Comparing these results with the destructed part shows that the fusion of two tests improves the results.
