The possibility of nondestructively characterizing the microstruc ture, morphology or mechanical properties of materials is certainly a fascinating subject. In

Materials Characterization Using Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Methods discusses NDT methods and how they are highly desirable for both long-term monitoring a

Engineering structures for reliable function and safety have to be designed such that operational mechanical loads are compensated for by stresses in the compon

With an emphasis on aircraft materials, this book describes techniques for the material characterization to detect and quantify degradation processes such as co

Ultrasonic methods have been very popular in nondestructive testing and characterization of materials. This book deals with both industrial ultrasound and medic
