Construction and Application of an AI-Agent-Based Workflow for the Rapid Survey of Building Damage and Functionality

This paper presents an AI-agent-based workflow that integrates on-site evidence, code-grounded reasoning, and Bayesian inference to rapidly and objectively assess post-earthquake building functionality at the room level, overcoming the limitations of traditional component-level damage grading by explicitly modeling the relationship between physical damage and operational resilience.

Structure-Sensitive Characterization of Additively Manufactured IN718 Using Hybrid Ultrasonic SPC-I and XCT-Derived Porosity Features

This study proposes and validates a novel, physics-informed framework integrating hybrid ultrasonic SPC-I metrics with X-ray computed tomography (XCT)-derived porosity features to characterize structure-sensitive defect interactions and identify distinct porosity regimes in additively manufactured IN718, demonstrating that pore size, variability, and spatial clustering drive acoustic responses more significantly than porosity volume fraction alone.
