Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) plays an increasing role in the modern industry. if compared to the traditional NDT&E approaches (such as X-ray, ultrasonic, and eddy current, etc.), thermography have advantages such as fast, safe, inexpensive, and large detection area. Recently thermography techniques expecially the active infrared thermography are extremely attractive to scientists and public. Thermography techniques have been widely used in aerospace, petrochemical, automotive and other fields, becoming a key way to solve some difficult engineering problems. This Special Issue is focused on non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) via mid-infrared and far-infrared thermography. Both theoretical research and industrial application are welcome, which are within but not limited to the following fields:

  • Multimode thermography techniques.
  • Interaction between physical field and material.  
  • Applications in material evaluation field.
  • Signal analysis and feature extraction algorithms.
  • Advanced industrial applications
  • Image processing.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Metals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

This report is on convolution neural network (CNN) fusion lock-in thermography, which can implement the intelligent identification of defects for aviation honeycomb sandwich composites (HSCs). First, HSCs specimens with subsurface delamination defects were fabricated and stimulated by halogen lamps according to sinusoidal modulation, and the defects were reliably inspected using lock-in thermography. The amplitude and phase images (commonly referred to as feature images) were obtained by using a digital lock-in correlation algorithm. Furthermore, these feature images were changed into gray or color-level image formalism datasets, which is pre-processed in ways including contrast enhancement, threshold segmentation as well as mosaic data augmentation. Finally, the four-layer feature pyramid structure and ransformer are combined and introduced to the popular YOLOv5 CNN model, and a YOLOLT CNN model is formed to realize the defect identification. The average precision (AP) in the defect identification of HSCs in complex environments (contains noise and other objects) reached 93.2% and achieved an average recognition speed of 0.6 s/image.
