Fatigue failure is a significant problem in the structural safety of engineering structures.
Human inspection is the most widely used approach for fatigue failure detection, which is time …

Non-uniform airflow over a wing causes distortion in real time optically recorded images,
which can lead to the erroneous displacement or strain measurement. This situation is more …

The accurate and efficient segmentation of large-scale urban point clouds is crucial for
many higher-level tasks, such as boundary line extraction, point cloud registration, and …

3D geometric capturing technologies based on camera and laser scanning have undergone
huge advances. However, accurate 3D displacement measurement especially for in-plane …

A major concern for in-flight wing deformation measurement using optical methods is the
influence of the aero-optical environment around the wing because the quality of the images …

The stereo-vision methods have been developed and used for measuring the wing deformation
while the aircraft is in flight. However, it is difficult to achieve accurate measurement in …

Z-pinned joints prepared by chemical vapour infiltration are widely used in ceramic matrix
composite components. Excellent fatigue behaviour is important for structural safety. In this …

For the requirement of 3D coordinate measurement of structures, a novel non-concentric
measurement system is proposed. This measurement system consists of a laser rangefinder …

This work proposes a defects localization method based on the combination of laser Doppler
vibrometry (LDV) and Digital image correlation (DIC). DIC and LDV are the dominant non-…

Ablation material is at the base of the entire aerospace industry. The ablation process is the
primary mechanism of thermal protection provided by the ablation material. The mechanical …
