Phase Coherence Imaging, or PCI, is a technique proposed in 2009 to improve resolution and contrast in ultrasonic testing images. It is based on evaluating the coherence between the signals detected by all the elements of phased array ultrasonic testing probe. The intensity of a PCI image depends on the nature of the indications. Omnidirectional sources [...]

Although some types of microwire sensors and their applications in composites have been discussed previously by CW (see "Measuring temperature inside composites and bondlines" and "Contactless monitoring of temperature and pressure inside composites"), the present state-of-the-art, as well as current and future applications of magnetic microwires, are much broader. It is worth noting that researchers in [...]
Friction stir welding is a solid-state joining process frequently used in the aerospace industry. Depending on manufacturing parameters such as rotation and translation speed, the friction stir welding process sometimes creates discontinuities within the weld; therefore, a non-destructive testing method must be applied to ascertain weld integrity. High productivity, efficiency, and accuracy are at the core [...]
Maintenance can be a complex undertaking, requiring thorough planning and an astute understanding of a facility’s risk profile. This is particularly true of high-risk facilities. Maintenance does not occur in a ‘vacuum’ and can result in costly downtimes if it is unexpected or unplanned. Even planned maintenance can lead to lengthy downtimes resulting in huge losses. [...]
