About

B. I. Shagdyrov is a leading researcher in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT), specializing in the thermal diagnostics of advanced composite materials. His work centers on the development of integrated thermographic methods, particularly combining optical and ultrasonic stimulation to improve defect detection in complex-shaped carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP). Shagdyrov’s major contribution is the proposal of a combined method that synthesizes data from active infrared thermography under both optical and ultrasonic stimulation. By fusing individual thermograms obtained at corresponding time points, his technique yields sequences that enable more efficient identification of diverse defects. This innovation is critical for ensuring the structural integrity of large, intricate composite products used in aerospace and other high-stakes industries. His 2020 paper on this method has garnered 12 citations, while his subsequent 2021 work detailing robotic equipment for zone-by-zone combined testing—showcasing the effectiveness of infrared and ultrasonic thermographic fusion—has received 5 citations. Shagdyrov’s research directly addresses the practical challenge of inspecting large-scale, complex-shaped components, offering a robust pathway toward automated, high-reliability NDT. His achievements represent a significant step forward in the safety and quality assurance of modern composite structures.
