About this Research Topic
Applying nondestructive testing (NDT) to civil engineering materials allows for more effective quality management than conventional testing methods, which is why NDT has become the main method for civil structure testing. However, the data collected for quality control of civil engineering materials are becoming more complex and higher design goals are required. Therefore, a better way of evaluating test results is needed.
Deep learning, a new type of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm, uses multilayer neural networks to alleviate the local minima of traditional training algorithms effectively. Combining deep learning algorithms with advanced NDT is a growing area of development for modern civil engineering material testing.
This Research Topic aims to publish Original Research and Review articles exploring innovations in advanced nondestructive testing methods combined with AI for civil engineering materials. Subjects of interest include, but are not limited to:
• Innovation in advanced nondestructive testing method for civil engineering material
• Studying on the combination of nondestructive practice and AI
• Multi-sensor AI fusion in NDT of civil engineering materials
• Time-series signal analysis for NDT of civil engineering material
• Development of remote sensors and data processing algorithm for precision material property measures
• Theoretical, analytical, and experimental investigations covering all aspects of AI for NDT
