Absztrakt (kivonat)

This study presents a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research trends in evaluating the mechanical properties of timber structures, with a particular emphasis on the modulus of elasticity (MOE) assessed through non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, especially ultrasonic waves. Using VOSviewer software to analyze 129 Scopus-indexed publications, the analysis reveals a marked increase in research activity since the early 2000s and the formation of distinct thematic clusters. The keyword ’non-destructive examination’ consistently emerges as the dominant term, underscoring a sustained and focused scientific interest in this field. Despite this growth, significant gaps remain, notably the lack of standardized methodologies and limited application of ultrasonic NDT techniques for in-service timber structures. This underscores the urgent need for targeted research efforts, including integrating machine learning with ultrasonic analysis, developing standardized testing protocols, exploring hybrid diagnostic approaches, and extending ultrasonic methods to aged and recycled timber. Furthermore, advancing portable, in-situ ultrasonic systems is essential to enable real-time, field-based assessments. This study not only maps the current research landscape but also highlights strategic opportunities to improve the accuracy, reliability, and sustainability of timber mechanical property evaluations, thereby supporting the advancement of timber engineering.
