Film radiography is often used for welding inspection in offshore and onshore pipe laying, and for checking the reliability of defect detection using ultrasonic testing. However, it can be slow and ...

All over the world, pressure vessels are being pressed into service beyond their design lifetimes. Advances in machine learning can lead to the deployment of increasingly reliable non-destructive ...

Non-destructive testing methods are used in industry to evaluate the integrity and properties of material or components without causing damage to the tested object. Aside from industrial radiography, ...

Local stress parameters (hot-spot structural stress, notch stress, stress intensity factors and J-integral) at spot welds are preferred in fatigue assessments of spotwelded structures because these ...

Well-established regulations have been used worldwide to certify the mechanical characteristics of advanced materials like polymer nanocomposites across different industries. To establish a ...
