A complete surveillance strategy for wind turbines requires both the condition monitoring
(CM) of their mechanical components and the structural health monitoring (SHM) of their …

Corrosion is considered a destructive phenomenon that affects almost all metals. There is a
variety of corrosion monitoring and measurement techniques being deployed across …

Composites, such as glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon fiber reinforced
polymer (CFRP), and adhesive bonding are being increasingly used in fields of aerospace …

This paper presents findings of delamination detection using infrared thermography (IRT) in
five in-service bridges using an unmanned aerial vehicle system. The authors have used …

Most common types of defects for composite are debond and delamination. It is difficult to
detect the inner defects on a complex shaped specimen by using conventional optical …

Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energy resources. It is distinctly
important to increase reliability and availability of wind turbines and further to reduce the …

Pulsed thermography is a contactless and rapid non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique
that is widely used for the inspection of fibre reinforced plastic composites. However, pulsed …

Eddy current pulsed thermography (ECPT) has been used in the characterization of Rolling
Contact Fatigue (RCF) cracks in rail by taking advantage of electromagnetic thermal …

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been widely applied in different industrial
fields, thereby necessitating the employment of non-destructive testing (NDT) methods to …

Infrared thermography testing (IRT) has been widely used in the defect detection of
composite materials. However, the identification of defects characteristics is unsatisfying due …
