The term NDE 4.0 originates from the idea of the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0. It is defined as the cyber-physical confluence between non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) and digital technologies including Artificial Intelligence, Digital Twins, Robotics, Advanced Sensing, and Sensor Networks. These ideas have the potential to become a cyber-physical NDE ecosystem (similar to the ongoing transformations in the medical and mobile communication sectors) that reshapes many traditional NDE, structural health monitoring, and prognoses. NDE 4.0 is also about the inspection of new generations of multi-functional components like additively manufactured parts and about fully automated inspection systems integrated into smart factories. Interest in this interdisciplinary field is growing and has the potential to involve all aspects of NDE. This special issue is focused on NDE 4.0, especially from a physics perspective.
