In recent years, composite materials have gained popularity in numerous high-tech and
engineering applications, owing to their outstanding physico-mechanical properties. They …

Integrity assessment of metallic structures requires inspection tools capable of detecting and
evaluating cracks reliably. To this end, many microwave and millimeter-wave nondestructive …

Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have become one of the most important
strengthening and retrofitting materials for reinforced concrete structures. However, these …

Automatic defect detection on the steel surface is a challenging task in computer vision,
owing to miscellaneous patterns of the defects, low contrast between the defect and …

In this paper, we propose a new methodology for crack detection and monitoring in concrete
structures. This approach is based on a multiresolution analysis of a sample or a specimen …

This study presents an investigation of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of carbon fiber
reinforced polymer (CFRP)-concrete interfacial debonding using a novel technology referred …

Microwave thermography (MWT) has many advantages including strong penetrability,
selective heating, volumetric heating, significant energy savings, uniform heating, and good …

Barely visible impact damage (BVID) is inevitable during either fabrication or lifetime of a
carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) component. These flaws are usually difficult to be …

Thermography is widely used to detect delamination defects in carbon fiber-reinforced
plastics (CFRPs). This article proposes a model to detect defects automatically by extracting …
