Methodical approaches to destructive and non-destructive testing application in forensic construction and technical expertise

Non-Destructive Testing

This book consists of a collection of 27 articles dealing with the subject of probabilistic engineering mechanics with special emphasis on the ensuing computational issues. The book has two parts. The first part is meant as a tutorial on the basic aspects of probabilistic mechanics, whereas the second part is an overview of some of the applications that rely on probabilistic concepts for their ...

Non-destructive Testing

This section contains a review of physical fundamentals and results of practical implementation of methods of nondestructive testing (NDT) and evaluation. It also presents relevant information on magnetic, electrical, eddy current, HF electromagnetic, infrared, optical, acoustic, radiographic, penetrant and other (such as vibration, leakage testing and integrated) methods of NDT and evaluation ...

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...

Non-destructive Testing: Neutron Radiography

Measurement and Modelling of the Rubber Resilience based on Ultrasonic Non-destructive Testing in Tires

In tire industry, it is very crucial to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of the rubber which is used for production of the tire, to ensure the quality of the final product. Resilience is an important property of a rubber, which cannot be evaluated through direct measurement in production cycle in this industry. Therefore, non-destructive ultrasonic testing, which has been used in man...
