“…These methods broadly include ultrasonic, X-ray radiography, neutron radiography, acoustic emission, nonlinear acoustic, infrared thermography, terahertz, shearography, and magnetic flux leakage testing. Nondestructive testing methods are routinely practiced in several industrial sectors including manufacturing of pipes, storage tanks, tubes [6], aerospace products [7], military and defense materials [8], nuclear industrials, automotives [9], stress testing in a rock bolt [10], biomedical materials, and composites [11]. As per the practice reported in a recent survey, NDT analytical tools are mainly terahertz, neutron imaging, digital correlation, X-ray imaging, and infrared imaging, and either one or more of these methods were typically used for inspection and evaluation of samples in a variety of industries.…”

Material failure may occur in a variety of situations dependent on stress conditions, temperature, and internal or external load conditions. Many of the latest engineered materials combine several material types i.e., metals, carbon, glass, resins, adhesives, heterogeneous and nanomaterials (organic/inorganic) to produce multilayered, multifaceted structures that may fail in ductile, brittle, or both cases. Mechanical testing is a standard and basic component of any design and fabricating process. Mechanical testing also plays a vital role in maintaining cost-effectiveness in innovative advancement and predominance. Destructive tests include tensile testing, chemical analysis, hardness testing, fatigue testing, creep testing, shear testing, impact testing, stress rapture testing, fastener testing, residual stress measurement, and XRD. These tests can damage the molecular arrangement and even the microstructure of engineered materials. Nondestructive testing methods evaluate component/material/object quality without damaging the sample integrity. This review outlines advanced nondestructive techniques and explains predominantly used nondestructive techniques with respect to their applications, limitations, and advantages. The literature was further analyzed regarding experimental developments, data acquisition systems, and technologically upgraded accessory components. Additionally, the various combinations of methods applied for several types of material defects are reported. The ultimate goal of this review paper is to explain advanced nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques/tests, which are comprised of notable research work reporting evolved affordable systems with fast, precise, and repeatable systems with high accuracy for both experimental and data acquisition techniques. Furthermore, these advanced NDT approaches were assessed for their potential implementation at the industrial level for faster, more accurate, and secure operations.

Various industries are considering metal product in lieu composite materials. Structural engineers appreciate glass fibre reinforced plastic/polymer (GFRP/GRP) because to its high modulus of elasticity, ratio of strength to weight, and corrosion resistance features. It has been discovered that structural engineering defects to be leading cause for the catastrophic consequences. This paper provides an overview of available NDT methods that can be employed to assess the quality of GFRP/GRP composite materials. The most common NDT method used by researchers and practitioners is also discussed, along with the advantages, disadvantages, characteristics, and potential applications of these materials. The review will lead the research using ultrasonic testing as a potential method employing low-frequency transducers with multielement architecture. This study will lead industry players, GFRP/GRP manufacturers, researchers, and NDT practitioners towards the development of technical standards for ultrasonic testing on GFRP/GRP in Malaysia.

Composite materials have been extensively used in different fields due to their excellent properties, among which carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is the representative. Especially in high-precision fields, such as aerospace, CFRP has become the main structural material for some core components instead of metal. The particularity of such materials and their components in terms of structure, material properties, and required detection conditions puts forward more stringent and targeted detection requirements for detection technology. Ultrasonic testing technology as one of the important means of composite defect detection, which is derived from advanced nondestructive testing (NDT), has also been a rapid development. The propagation behavior and variation of ultrasonic waves in CFRP composites can reveal defects and damages in CFRP composites. Moreover, by constructing reasonable defect identification technology and detection technology, not only the qualitative and quantitative positioning analysis of defects and damages in CFRP composites can be realized but also the automatic, visual and intelligent NDT, and evaluation of CFRP composites can be realized. This paper mainly reviews the innovative nondestructive ultrasonic testing technology for CFRP composites and briefly introduces the research progress and application of this technology in CFRP defect detection. Finally, advanced nondestructive ultrasonic testing technology is summarized, and the problems and development direction of this kind of testing technology are put forward.
