Application of SQUID to Nondestructive Evaluation

Ninth International Symposium on Nondestructive Testing of Wood Application of ultrasound nondestructive evaluation to grading pallet parts

High-quality pallets are easier to repair and last longer. To obtain the high-quality parts necessary to build durable pallets requires grading and sorting by an automated inspection system. Ultrasonic sensing was selected for this application because 1) it is relatively inexpensive; 2) it can penetrate and characterize internal features of wood specimens; and 3) its effectiveness has been demo...

Nondestructive Evaluation of Coatings

Bulk and Rayleigh (or surface wave) velocities of ultrasonic waves in chromium coatings on steel were measured and an experimental correlation was found between the surface velocity and the hardness. Since qualitative coating evaluation is commonly made using hardnesses as a guideline, the possibility is herewith presented of using the so und velocities of surface ultrasonic waves for this purp...

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Nondestructive Evaluation: Wood

Preservationists look to methods of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) to answer questions about the condition, strength, and construction details of wood in historic buildings in the interest of saving historic fabric and reducing or eliminating damage to significant historic features or materials caused by investigative probes. Many times, a basic wood inspection can answer questions posed when ...
