Intelligent Operator‐Independent Flexibility in Robotic Non‐Destructive Evaluation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
Non‐destructive evaluation of high‐value components remains a manufacturing bottleneck due to rigid robotic calibration and fixturing. This study presents a flexible, adaptable system integrating 3D vision and force‐position control with a collaborative KUKA LBR robot. The geometry‐agnostic system enables pose‐independent ultrasonic inspection, detects

Anchorage System Contribution to Post‐Tensioned Bridge Collapse

Engineering Reports, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
This paper presents an experimental investigation of a 1960s precast post‐tensioned girder bridge in Trstena, Slovakia, revealing severe corrosion and anchorage degradation that ultimately led to its collapse. The findings highlight critical vulnerabilities in obsolete anchorage systems and emphasize the need for proactive assessment and maintenance of

Non‐Destructive Inspection of TCPs Using Pulse‐Echo Ultrasound and X‐Ray Microcomputed Tomography Techniques

X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 443-453, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Thermoplastic composite pipes (TCPs) have potential applications in offshore oil and gas industries because of their strength, lack of corrosion, and flexibility. Designed for fluid transportation in high‐pressure and high‐temperature environments, manufacturing defects and operational loads can compromise their performance.

Innovating Aircraft Repair Processes: The Role of Digitalization in Sustainability

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 7, 8 April 2026.
This research explores how digitalization—by storing detailed non‐destructive testing data in structured DICONDE databases and creating a standard data model of the component—innovates aviation maintenance and repair processes. Coupled with a developed state‐based simulation model, it enables data‐driven, sustainable repair strategies that reduce waste,
