Abstract The ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E) has been widely
used for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). The conventional linear ultrasonic technique …

This work presents a nonlocal theory based on ordinary state-based (OSB) peridynamics for
numerical modeling of crack propagation under loadings and peri‑ultrasound modeling for …

Ultrasonic testing is a robust non-destructive evaluation method frequently employed in the
health monitoring of concrete structures. Cracking in concrete can be one of the most critical …

Ultrasonic wave based techniques are widely used for damage detection and for
quantitative and qualitative characterization of materials. In this study, ultrasonic waves are …

Welding is a commonly used method for joining two or more parts together in steel
construction. Various defects in weld regions such as cracks, pores, and slag inclusion can …

Aluminum structures are routinely used in aircraft due to their lightweight and corrosion
resistance properties. Multi-layered aluminum plates are generally joined by rivets forming …

Timely and appropriate retrofitting of existing structures holds paramount importance to
ensure the structural integrity and sustainability. Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites …

Increasing the service life and therefore the efficiency of a structure can be achieved by
implementing appropriate Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation techniques. Detecting …

Propagating guided waves in a homogeneous, isotropic, prestressed, hyperelastic plate
show nonlinear characteristics that depend on the state of initial prestress. These nonlinear …

Ductile metallic materials such as aluminum alloy, brass and steel are widely used in
engineering structures. Monitoring elastoplastic deformation in these materials is important …
