Abstract:
Characterization of materials properties is critical for the understanding of materials behavior and performance under operating conditions. Tailoring materials properties, which are functions of the materials states, is essential for advanced product design. The need to characterize materials for a myriad of applications has spurred the development of many new methods and instruments. Unfortunately many of these characterization tools require destructive sectioning. Also many characterization techniques do not provide key information about material parameters in their operating environments. An ideal characterization tool would provide data about the material properties that are related to micro-and macrostructure without destructive sectioning. Such data can only be obtained using nondestructive-evaluation (NDE) methodologies. Therefore NDE is essential for almost any industrial product. Nondestructive evaluation has become an integral part of materials research because it enables the determination of material parameters (such as micro- and macrostructure, stress, physical properties, and defects) at nearly any point, line, surface, or volume element of interest and at nearly any state during the life of the material. Nondestructive evaluation is based on many different methods that rely on elastic waves, penetrating radiation, light, electric and magnetic fields, chemical sensing, etc. The large number of potential methods makes NDE not a single field but a synergism of many scientific and engineering disciplines. Since it would be impractical here to present all the new NDE methodologies with application to materials research, this issue of MRS Bulletin focuses exclusively on those ultrasonic techniques that are increasingly important in materials characterization.

Abstract:
Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques are used in many industries to evaluate the properties of components and inspect for flaws and anomalies in structures without altering the part’s integrity or causing damage to the component being tested. This includes monitoring materials’ condition (Material State Awareness (MSA)) and health of structures (Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)). NDE techniques are highly valuable tools to help prevent potential losses and hazards arising from the failure of a component while saving time and cost by not compromising its future usage. On the other hand, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques are useful tools which can help automating data collection and analyses, providing new insights, and potentially improving detection performance in a quick and low effort manner with great cost savings. This paper presents a survey on state of the art AI-ML techniques for NDE and the application of related smart technologies including Machine Vision (MV) and Digital Twins in NDE.

Abstract:
In the field of structural health monitoring (SHM), innovative methods of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) are currently being investigated with the purpose of providing prognostic information toward safer, longer lasting structures. Therefore, it is desirable to integrate NDE techniques with existing structural reinforcement techniques for in situ measurement capability, increasing service life. Magnetic shape memory alloys (MSMAs) offer the potential for NDE via magnetic sensing, while further offering the multi-functionality of crack closing and structural reinforcement. The current research proposes a novel SHM approach for concrete structures using embedded MSMAs for magnetic sensing, and investigates the properties of such a system.

Abstract:
The aim of this work is to achieve reliable nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of adhesively bonded aerospace components by developing novel multidimensional data fusion techniques, which would combine the information obtained by ultrasonic and X-ray NDE methods. Separately, both NDE techniques have their advantages and limitations. The integration of data obtained from pulse echo immersion ultrasound testing and radiography holds immense potential to help improve the reliability of non-destructive evaluation. In this study, distinctive features obtained from single techniques, traditional ultrasonic pulse echo testing, and radiography, as well as fused images, were investigated and the suitability of these distinctive features and fusion techniques for improving the probability of defect detection was evaluated. For this purpose, aluminum single lap joints with brass inclusions were analyzed using ultrasound pulse echo and radiography techniques. The distinctive features were extracted from the data obtained, and images of features obtained by both techniques were fused together. Different combinations of features and fusion algorithms were investigated, considering the desire to automate data evaluation in the future.

Abstract:
The thesis presented here comprises the work undertaken for research into novel NDE techniques in the power generation industry. This has been undertaken as part of the Engineering Doctorate Scheme run by the Research Centre for Non-Destructive Evaluation (RCNDE), which aims to bridge the technological gap between university research and industrial application. In this case, the scheme consisted of two projects completed in conjunction with RWE npower looking at current NDE problems in steam turbine and steam-raising plant. The first project was concerned with detecting microstructural transformation in steam turbine blades, which can act as a precursor to failure by environmentally assisted cracking. This project, and indeed, this entire thesis is principally based on electromagnetic testing methods. An eddy current technique for mapping the microstructural phases was produced and validated as far as was achievable; this offered a significant time-saving advantage over the previous method, by reducing inspection time from 5 man days to just 1.5. The technique has novelty in producing a 2-dimensional map of the blade surface which highlights areas where microstructural phases differ. The second project focuses on the detection of microstructural damage associated with material creep life expiry. This forms a review of the current state of technology and highlights potentially useful paths for future research in both established and emerging NDE technologies, including Magnetic Barkhausen Noise testing and laser-generated ultrasound. Both projects have provided tangible benefit to the sponsoring company and have pushed forward research in a number of technological applications.

Abstract:
Three active thermal methods capable of detecting surface breaking cracks in metals are considered in this Thesis. The three thermal methods exploit different means of excitation, each with practical advantages and varying abilities to detect specific types of crack morphology. Thermosonics uses a broadband, high power ultrasonic input to vibrate the test-piece. Defects damp the vibrational energy into heat which is imaged by a thermal camera. Laser-spot thermography uses a short laser pulse to spot heat the surface of the test-piece, and the subsequent radial heat diffusion is then observed. Defects can cause both increased emission of infrared and localised increases in thermal impedance, both effects causing distortion of the radial heat diffusion. Eddy-current induced thermography uses a high power magnetic field to induce a flow of current inside the test-piece. Defects create a localised increase in electrical impedance, diverting the electric field around the defect. This diversion of current flow causes neighbouring regions of high and low current density, the corresponding Joule heating imaged by a thermal camera. In this Thesis the three methods are explored experimentally. For laser-spot thermography and eddy-current induced thermography the physical phenomena are characterised and experimental best-practice for short pulse excitation determined. The effect of crack opening on each of the three methods is found to give insight into which applications the methods are most suited. It was found that the relationship between crack opening and detectability was complex for thermosonics, relatively linear for laser-spot thermography, and that eddy-current induced thermography is largely insensitive to crack opening. The methods are tested for the feasibility of detecting cracks in Inconel buried beneath metallic and ceramic coatings typical of gas turbine blades, with thermosonics and eddy-current induced thermography found to be viable methods. A study of the detectability of a large number of cracks in steel, titanium and Waspaloy by eddy-current induced thermography is detailed, and from this data the probability of detection is established. Eddy-current thermography is shown to be an extremely sensitive method capable of detecting fatigue cracks of approximately 0.25 mm in steel and 0.50-0.75 mm in titanium and Waspaloy. The practicality of the thermal methods is discussed, and the methods put into the context of the wider field of NDE. Based on the works in this Thesis it was found that for most applications eddy-current induced thermography is the most appealing thermal method since it is highly sensitive, rapid, non-contacting and relatively easy to validate. However, both thermosonics and laser-spot thermography remain useful alternative inspections for more niche applications.

Full text
Abstract:
Non-destructive testing (NDT) of glass-fibre reinforced polyester (GRP) composite materials has been becoming increasingly important due to their wide applications in engineering components and structures. Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) has promising potential in this context because it is a non-contact, whole-field and real-time measurement system. This potential has never been fully exploited and there is only limited knowledge and understanding available in this area. This reality constrains the wide popularity and acceptance of ESPI as a novel NDT technique. Therefore it is of considerable importance to develop an understanding of the capability of ESPI with respect to damage evaluation in GRP composite materials. The research described in this thesis is concerned with an investigation into the applicability of ESPI in the NDT of GRP composite materials. Firstly, a study was carried out to determine excitation techniques in terms of practicality and effectiveness in the ESPI system. Three categories of defects were artificially introduced in GRP composite materials, namely holes, cracks and delaminations each with different geometrical features. ESPI was then employed to evaluate the three kinds of defects individually. It has been found that cracks and holes on back surfaces can be defined when the technique is used in conjunction with thermal excitation. Internal Temperature Differential (ITD) induced fringe patterns were more efficient than External Thermal Source (ETS) induced fringe patterns with regard to detecting the presence of holes and cracks. In the case of delamination, ESPI was found to be capable of detecting the damage when used in combination with mechanical excitation originating from a force transducer hammer. The geometrical features and magnitudes of delaminations were also established as being quantifiable. The validation of ESPI as an NDT technique was carried out in an attempt to establish a better understanding of its suitability and have more confidence in its applications. Four damaged specimens were Subjected to ESPI examination in conjunction with visual inspection, ultrasonic C-scan and sectioning techniques. The geometrical features and magnitudes of damage evaluated using ESPI showed a good correlation with those evaluated by conventional techniques. Poor visibility and readability is an inherent problem associated with ESP! due to an overlapping between the noise and signal frequencies. An improvement of image quality is expected in an attempt to achieve a wide acceptance of ESPI as a novel NDT technique. It has also been demonstrated that this problem can be tackled using optical phase stepping techniques in which optical phase data can be extracted from the intensity fringes. A three-frame optical phase stepping technique was employed to produce the "wrapped" and "unwrapped" phase maps which are capable of indicating internal damage with high visibility and clarity. Finally ESPI was practically employed to evaluate damage in GRP composites introduced by quasi-static and dynamic mechanical loading. It was found that ESP! was capable of monitoring the progressive damage development of specimens subjected to incremental flexural loading. The initial elastic response, damage initiation, propagation and ultimate failure of specimens were clearly characterised by the abnormal fringe pattern variations. In a similar manner, ESPI was employed to evaluate the low velocity falling weight impact induced damage. A correlation was established between the magnitude of damage and the impact event parameters as well as the residual flexural properties.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the development and characterization of a novel NDE methodthe Capacitive Imaging (CI) technique. The CI technique employs a pair of (or multiple) electrodes to form a co-planar capacitor, and uses the fringing quasi-static electric field established across the electrodes to investigate specimens of interest. In general, the CI probe is sensitive to surface and hidden defects in insulating materials, and surface features on conducting materials. The CI technique is advantageous for its non-contact and non-invasive nature, and the capacitive coupling allows the CI technique to work on a wide variety of material properties. The theoretical background to the CI technique has been developed. It is shown that in the frequency range of operation (10 kHz to 1 MHz), the quasi-static approximation is valid and the Maxwell’s Equations describing the general electromagnetic phenomena can be simplified. The practical implementation of the CI system is based on this analysis, and it is shown that the CI technique has features that can complement techniques such as eddy current methods that are already established in NDE. The design principles of the CI probes that are required for an optimum imaging performance have been determined, by considering the key measures of the performance including the depth of penetration, the measurement sensitivity, the imaging resolution and the signal to noise ratio (SNR). It has been shown that the operation frequency is not an influential factor - the performance of the CI probe is determined primarily by the geometry of the probe (e.g. size/shape of the electrodes, separation between electrodes, guard electrodes etc.). Symmetric CI probes with triangular-shaped electrodes were identified as a good general purpose design. Finite Element (FE) models were constructed both in 2D and 3D in COMSOLTM to predict the electric field distributions from CI probes. Effects of thickness of specimen, liftoff distance and relative permittivity value etc were examined using the 2D models. The sensitivity distributions of different CI probes were obtained from the 3D models and were used to characterize the imaging ability of the given CI probes. The fundamental concepts of the CI technique have been experimentally validated in a series of scans where the defects were successfully imaged in insulating (Perspex) and conducting (e.g. Aluminium, Steel and carbon fibre composite) specimens. The detection of corrosion under insulation (CUI) has also been demonstrated. The imaging abilities were assessed by investigating various standard specimens under different situations. The CI technique was then successfully applied to various practical specimens, including glass fibre laminated composites and sandwich structures, laminated carbon fibre composites, corroded steel plate and pipe, and concrete specimens. Further measurements were also conducted using modified CI probes, to demonstrate the wide range of applications of the CI technique.

Abstract:
The possibility and feasibility of experimental detection of localized defects in tubes using laser-induced ultrasonic wave approach through Thermo Acousto Photonic Non Destructive Evaluation (TAP-NDE) and Signal processing through wavelet transform is examined in this research. Guided waves in cylindrical surfaces provide solutions for detection of different defects in the material. Several experiments were conducted to this respect. Wave propagation in both axial and circumferential directions was studied. The dispersive wave propagation of ultrasonic waves in hollow cylinders has been investigated experimentally, primarily for use in non-contact and nondestructive inspections of pipes and tubes. The laser ultrasonic waves propagated in cylindrical waveguides are particularly attractive because of their unique characteristics in the applications of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). Contrary to studies making use of only axially symmetric guided waves in hollow cylinders, here are analyzed also nonaxisymmetric waves. The analysis of data is made by using the Gabor wavelet transform. The capability of modeling the guided wave dispersion in hollow cylinders is used in developing guided wave experimental techniques for flaw detection. Good agreement was obtained when comparing the dispersion spectra between theory and experimentation. Measurement of group velocities of guided waves, which are obtained directly from the wavelet transform coefficients, can be used to determine allocation and sizing of flaws.

Abstract:
This research aims at modifying, improving and calibrating the Stress Wave Factor Nondestructive Evaluation (SWF NDE) technique and applying it to a fiber epoxy composite material and other composite structures. In order to access the composite's integrity the Energy of SWF within a selected Sub Frequency Range (SFR) instead of the whole measured frequency range as of conventional SWF is used. This technique, introduced and examined herein and is termed the Sub Frequency Range Stress Wave Factors (SFR-SWF) and is tailored to improve the conventional SWF technique with respect to sensibility and accuracy. A series of controlled damage tests were performed, and relevant acousto-ultrasonic observations were conducted. The overall property of the composites subjected to hygrothermal degradation, the localized defects such as the surface crack and the historical damage were assessed with conventional SWF and SFR-SWF. The two methods are compared in detail. The hygrothermal degradation and surface crack experiments were also simulated using the finite element method. Dynamic numerical analysis was conducted to simulate the wave propagation process, both in time domain and frequency domain using the commercial finite element code ABAQUS. The numerical results were also evaluated via both SWF and SFR-SWF, and were compared with the results of experiments. Thus, the potential of SFR-SWF was evaluated. A general conclusion from this research is that the SFR-SWF has the better capability than that of the conventional SWF in assessing the composite's overall condition, localized defects and historical damage. Since there are still open questions regarding the physical understanding of the SWF and SFR-SWF, the finite element analysis provides confirmation for certain observed behaviors of the Acousto-Ultrasonic and SFR-SWF technique.

This paper discusses a project to mitigate flange leaks through a non-intrusive nondestructive (NDE) technique by early detection and quantification of flange face corrosion. A case study of two amine units from a US gas plant is presented. Process leaks had occurred on piping and nozzle flanges due to CO2 corrosion and erosion of raised-face sealing surfaces. Several corroded flanges were removed and submitted for a study of advanced NDE detection and sizing techniques capable of in-service inspection prior to a scheduled plant maintenance shutdown. If possible, the NDE techniques were to use standard NDE test equipment and conventionally trained NDE technicians. During phase I of the project, a specialized manual ultrasonic shear wave (UT-SW) procedure was developed and used for the initial on-stream inspection. In phase II, an ultrasonic imaging technique was developed using an automated ultrasonic imaging system (AUT) and a special miniature scanner that rides on the outside diameter of the flange hub. After some successful field trials, both phase I and phase II test methods expanded to other petrochemical applications such as inspection of HF-Alky refinery pipe flanges, H2S, and other services where flange damage may occur. Other flange designs, such as ring type joints (RTJ’s) were also added to the project. After 18 months of use, the UT techniques were released to interested petrochemical companies within the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the Petroleum Environmental Research Forum (PERF) industry consortium. The techniques were also given to professional NDE training companies in the US and UK in order to promote its HSE benefits across the industry. As of this writing, 12 inspection companies have trained ultrasonic technicians on the manual technique.

Abstract:
PRCI commissioned this project (NDE-4-6) to further evaluate and accurately assess the current state (as of 2019) of NDE methodologies for characterizing Stress Corrosion Cracking. The NDE-4-6 project also conducted advanced Finite Element Modeling and flaw fabrication to help gain further insight on NDE performance and improve efficiency of conducting round robin evaluations. The project consisted of a round-robin type study, in which service and technology providers were asked to conduct NDE on several blind samples including actual SCC and fabricated flaw samples. Following completion of the NDE, select samples were destructively tested and characterized in a laboratory using metallurgical microscopy and X-ray computed tomography (XRCT). The results of the destructive testing were then used to characterize the performance of the NDE methods and technologies applied.

Full text
Abstract:
The objective includes: Assess commercially available inspection methods to validate integrity of composite repair systems. Identify applicability to inspect composite overwrap and parent metal for both onshore and sub-sea pipelines (where information is available). Identify sources of data to include other users of composite materials(aerospace/aircraft, naval/ship repairs). Identify procedures and technologies to assess inspection effectiveness and provide a gap analysis. Interface with other PRCI projects on long-term testing of composite repairs and other joint industry projects on composite repairs to improve our understanding of long term durability of repairs. Identify global experience with composite repairs; not just North America. For general wall loss, radiography or electromagnetic techniques appear to be the best candidates. Standard radiography techniques can detect changes in wall thickness over a large area. Saturated low frequency systems, e.g. SLOFEC are good for a quick rapid scan of the area of interest. Pulsed eddy current, e.g. PEC, is also available for a general survey of the underlying substrate. For pinhole leaks, the electromagnetic techniques do not have sufficient resolution to detect defects of order 20 mm (0.8 in.) diameter and less. Standard radiography techniques can detect pinhole leaks down to diameters of 3 mm (0.12 in.) or less. Tangential radiography techniques are generally good for defect sizing but there are practical limitations with chord length (i.e. beam path through the pipe wall). Ultrasonic techniques could offer a potential solution but is currently limited due to the high attenuation of the composite repair material where through the repair inspection could only detect large diameter defects greater than 25 mm (1 in.) diameter on thin repairs less than 5 mm (0.2 in.). Detecting pin hole defects by applying the ultrasound along the axial direction of the substrate, effectively skipping the ultrasound under the repair, showed more promise. For delamination or debonding of the interface between the composite laminate and the steel substrate, laser shearography and microwave inspection appear to offer the best solution. Currently there is no single inspection technique that can be applied with confidence to the inspection of interfacial delaminations. Further developments are on-going to provide a solution to this challenging inspection problem. Acoustic emission is able to give an overall picture of the damage within the composite under live loads. It can be used as a QA tool to test the integrity of the repair. However, it is difficult to interpret the signals to gain any quantitative information about a particular defect.

Full text
Abstract:
Experimental work was conducted on two girth welds in large diameter steel pipes. By a proper selection of welding consumables, yield strength mismatch was obtained from 5 to 12% undermatching and 45% overmatching. The girth welds were non-destructively tested using the time of flight diffraction technique by three NDE companies. The verification of the detection and sizing capabilities of TOFD inspection techniques has shown that the performance levels varied widely. This finding confirms the need to validate the NDE techniques. Tensile specimens, Charpy and CTOD specimens, and curved wide plate testes were taken out of the welded pipes for testing the mismatch ratio, fracture toughness behavior and failure mechanisms. The wide plate tests were supported by an ECA using BS 7910. This work has reconfirmed the validity of the basic toughness and overmatch requirements given by EPRG for the application of the Tier 2 defect limits. The wide plate tests demonstrated that failure to satisfy one (or both) of these requirements results in a significant reduction of the acceptable defect length limit. The derivation of ECA-based NDE acceptance criteria is not specified in the present standards. The way to deal with the performance of welding technique, the NDE systems and its relation to ECA-based acceptance criteria is not prescribed. In the present Dutch project the derivation of ECA-based acceptance criteria will be validated by a probabilistic approach. This approach is based on Monte Carlo simulations by which the effects of weld defect population; the NDE performance and acceptance criteria on the repair rate and integrity level can be investigated.

Abstract:
In the current extension of the work, three additional inspection trials were successfully completed by two NDE vendors, Sonomatic Ltd and Testex, Inc. The Sonomatic inspection team used two advanced ultrasonic techniques, M-skip and Dynamic Response Spectroscopy (DRS). The Testex team used an existing Low Frequency Electromagnetic Technique (LFET) and a recently developed Off-Surface Electromagnetic Technique (OSET). Both electromagnetic tests are complementary. The LFET was designed to scan bare metals as well as through paints and protective coatings. OSET has been specifically developed for inspection of corrosion (and girth weld location) under insulation (CUI). Both M-skip and LFET/ OSET successfully reported the correct axial/ circumferential location and extent of the external pipe wall defects as well as the location of the longitudinal ERW seam welds. The DRS technique, successfully detected the debonded regions that contained interlaminar and interfacial debonding.
