This paper describes the detectability of eddy current testing (ECT) using directional eddy current for detection of in-plane fibre waviness in unidirectional carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) laminate. Three different types of probes, such as circular driving, symmetrical driving and uniform driving probe, were proposed, and the waviness angle was extracted from the contour map of the ECT signal by applying a Canny filter and a Hough transform. By comparing both the waviness angle estimated by ECT and that obtained by an X-ray CT image, the standard deviation (precision) and root mean square error (accuracy) were evaluated to discuss the detectability of these probes. The directional uniform driving probe shows the best detectability and can detect fibre waviness with a waviness angle of more than 2° in unidirectional CFRP. The probe shows a root mean square error of 1.90° and a standard deviation of 4.49° between the actual waviness angle and the angle estimated by ECT. This article is part of the theme issue 'Advanced electromagnetic non-destructive evaluation and smart monitoring'.

Laser based-powder bed fusion (LB-PBF) enables fast, efficient, and cost-effective production of high-performing products. While advanced functionalities are often derived from geometric complexity, the capability to tailor material properties also offers significant opportunities for technical innovation across many fields. This study explores the optimization of the LB-PBF process parameters for producing Ti6Al4V titanium alloy parts with controlled porosity.

In this paper, we present the identification of polymorphisms at an early stage, identified by applying non-standard methods such as SAXS. We provide an analytical approach to polymorphism in the quality/purity of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), supplied to a generic company by two different suppliers (i.e.

Magnetorheological polishing (MRF) has emerged as a critical non-contact sub-aperture polishing technology due to its notable attributes of high precision and minimal damage. However, MRF's inherent D-shaped removal function leads to reduced convergence efficiency of surface form error and introduces mid-spatial-frequency (MSF) waviness. To address these challenges, we propose magnetorheological precession finishing (MRPF) technology, which ingeniously combines MRF with bonnet precession polishing to generate a Gaussian-like removal function.

Most frequently used structure-based constitutive models of arterial wall apply assumptions on two symmetric helical (and dispersed) fibre families which, however, are not well supported with histological findings where two collagen fibre families are seldom found. Moreover, bimodal distributions of fibre directions may originate also from their waviness combined with ignoring differences between local and global fibre orientations. In contrast, if the model parameters are identified without histological information on collagen fibre directions, the resulting mean angles of both fibre families are close to ±45°, which contradicts nearly all histologic findings.
