The Role of Non-Destructive Testing of Composite Materials for Aerospace Applications

Thiago Luiz Lara Oliveira, Maha Hadded, Saliha Mimouni et al. · 3 Jan 2025

This review examines the essential application of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques in assessing the integrity and damage of composite materials used in aerospace engineering, focusing on polymer matrix composites (PMCs), metal matrix composites (MMCs), and ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). As these materials increasingly replace traditional metallic and alloy components due to their advantageous properties, such…

Review of Ground Penetrating Radar Applications for Bridge Infrastructures

Paola Boldrin, Giacomo Fornasari, Enzo Rizzo · 21 Mar 2024

Infrastructure bridges play a crucial role in fostering economic and social development. However, the adverse effects of natural hazard and weather degradation, coupled with escalating rates of traffic, pose a significant threat. The resultant strain on the structure can lead to undue stress, elevating the risk of a critical asset failure. Hence, non-destructive testing (NDT)…

Assessment of Special Rubberized Concrete Types Utilizing Portable Non-Destructive Tests

Amr El-Nemr, Ibrahim G. Shaaban · 21 Jun 2024

Concrete is the second most common material demanded over the world. Recently, a trending issue is the vast tracking in constructing infrastructure to ensure traffic movement and life quality. Concrete types such as self and rolled compacted concrete offer magical solutions ensuring vast infrastructure and life quality. However, these structures must be assessed using non-destructive…

Precision Weed Control Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Robots: Assessing Feasibility, Bottlenecks, and Recommendations for Scaling

S Vijayakumar, P Shanmugapriya, P. Saravanane et al. · 16 May 2025

Weeds cause significant yield and economic losses by competing with crops and increasing production costs. Compounding these challenges are labor shortages, herbicide resistance, and environmental pollution, making weed management increasingly difficult. In response, precision weed control (PWC) technologies, such as robots and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have emerged as innovative solutions. These tools offer farmers…

Wind Turbine Surface Defect Detection Method Based on YOLOv5s-L

Chang Liu, An Chen, Yifan Yang · 13 Oct 2023

In order to solve the problems of low efficiency, time consumption and high costs in the detection of defects on wind turbine surfaces in industrial scenarios, an improved YOLOv5 algorithm for wind turbine surface defect detection is proposed, named YOLOv5s-L. Firstly, the C3 module of YOLOv5s is replaced with the C2f module, which is more…

NDT template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the NDT format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the NDT template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does NDT use?
NDT uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. NDT 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to NDT?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready NDT document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the NDT template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the NDT format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is NDT?
NDT - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready NDT PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official NDT template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the NDT template cost?
You can start writing in the NDT template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready NDT PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
