International Advances In Nondestructive Testing

International Advances in Nondestructive Testing

This volume presents original research in the broad areas of technical design and nondestructive testing procedures. It provides critical information for managers, materials scientists, quality control specialists and engineers who must stay abreast of rapidly advancing methods for the detection and measurement of the performance capabilities for parts, equipment and structures. Papers of special interest to the aircraft, nuclear and automotive industries include adhesive bonding of lap joints, nuclear radiography, nuclear tomography, use of hte leaky lamb wave technique to determine the dynamic elastic moduli of a fiber-reinforced composite, and a comparison of the resonant technique with the impact-echo technique.

Handbook of Advanced Nondestructive Evaluation

This handbook is a comprehensive source of information on all aspects of non-destructive testing (NDT), for use by professionals, educators, and most of all, by the practitioners of testing. The art of NDT consists of dozens of methods, some classical, and some emerging. As the pace of industrial work and discovery intensifies and materials are utilized to their physical limits, the role of NDT becomes ever more important. As a result, the methods of testing are themselves evolving, and it is the intent of this book to capture this evolution. Handbook of Modern Non-Destructive Testing broadens the scope from traditional books on the subject. In addition to classical, emerging and exotic methods of evaluation, the book will also cover the use of NDT techniques in other fields, such as archaeology or resource exploration. With contributions from experts in all areas of the field, the reader will find balanced coverage of a variety of testing methods, with no bias against or endorsements of any particular method. The book treats many areas in depth, covering all aspects of testing, and will include case studies where appropriate. Additional coverage of statistical methods and their use, as well as simulations‘ role in testing and test design, are included.
