Study of Lamb Waves for Non-Destructive Testing Behind Screens

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 ...

Microwave Interferometer for Non-destructive Testing

A K-band microwave interferometer for non-destructive sensing of high frequency low amplitude (nm) vibration is demonstrated. This sensor uses direct-conversion receiver architecture with a phase shifter to adjust its sensitivity while varying the target distance. Detection of nanoscale vibration and laser-generated ultrasound waves through thin aluminum plate are measured and then compared wit...

Non-destructive Testing: Neutron Radiography

An Outline of Applications of Ultrasonic Guided Waves in Non-destructive Testing of Large Strutures*

Guided waves have been the attractive ways for the nondestructive inspection of the large structure because of their many advantages. The characteristics of guided waves are presented; some consideration of guided waves in the large structure inspection is stated; excitation methods and their merits and shortcomings are introduced. Several typical applications of guided waves in the large struc...
