Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 6Defect Classification of Composite Materials Using Transfer Learning Methods(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024-11-07) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Kolukisa, Burak; Ozdemir, Ahmet Turan; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu; Gungor, Vehbi CagriNowadays, composite materials have become prevalent across various sectors, particularly finding usage in large-scale applications such as spaceships, automobiles, and aircrafts. The accurate detection of the defects in these materials is crucial, yet traditional methods often rely on human inspection, which is susceptible to errors. Recent advancements in machine learning have enabled defect detection using ultrasonic non-destructive testing methods. This paper introduces a new dataset named UNDT, which is obtained from the scans of 60 different composite materials, generating a total of 1150 images depicting both defective and non-defective areas. Several transfer learning methods are applied on the newly introduced UNDT dataset as well as the publicly available USimgAIST ultrasonic dataset. Comparative performance assessments illustrate the significance of utilising the transfer learning approach for defect classification on ultrasonic inspection images. Furthermore, the research emphasises the substantial benefits of employing these transfer learning methods. Notably, the DenseNet121 and VGG19 models achieve the highest accuracy rates, with 98.8% and 98.6% on the UNDT and USimgAIST datasets, respectively.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1A Federated Learning Framework for Classifying the Images in Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024-10-26) Gulsen, Abdulkadir; Hacilar, Hilal; Kolukisa, Burak; Bakir-Güngör, BurcuUltrasonic inspection is a critical technique in non-destructive testing that ensures the safety and integrity of the material by detecting internal defects. Defect classification within this context is vital for preventing failures and extending the lifespan of materials. However, the advancement of ultrasonic testing technology is hindered by a scarcity of publicly available, realistic datasets, which are essential for developing accurate models. To address these challenges, this paper introduces a Federated Learning (FL) framework employing a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model for defect classification using ultrasonic inspection images. This innovative approach allows for the decentralized training of models on private datasets without the need for data exchange, thus preserving data privacy. Our comparative analysis demonstrates that the FL achieves performance comparable to traditional methods while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive information. The framework also proves to be robust and scalable with an increase in the number of participating clients. This pioneering study highlights the potential of FL in transforming ultrasonic defect classification and suggests possibilities for its application in other areas of non-destructive testing where publicly available datasets are scarce. These findings would encourage researchers to develop a federated platform for enhanced collaboration and explore advanced CNN architectures to improve training efficiency. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
