Thermal Non-destructive Testing and Evaluation: Coming of Age

Non-destructive Testing and Evaluation of Metals

Advances in Non-Stationary Frequency Modulated Thermal Wave Imaging for Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation

Among the widely used Non-Destructive Testing and evaluation approaches, InfraRed Thermography has proven to be one of the vital NDT technique due to its inherent capabilities for testing and evaluation of various solid materials. Nevertheless, there are some limitations; depending upon the test approach used, as well as the adopted data processing method. In active approach of infrared thermog...

Quadratic Frequency Modulated Thermal Wave Imaging for Non-destructive Testing

Thermal non-destructive testing and evaluation of glass fibre reinforced plastic materials has gained more importance in aerospace industry due to low weight and high strength capabilities in severe environmental conditions. More recently, pulse compression favorable non-stationary excitation schemes have been exhibiting reliable defect detection capabilities in infrared non-destructive testing...

NON-DESTRUCTIVE THERMAL DAMAGE CHARACTERIZATION OF CORDIERITE-MULLITE REFRACTORIES

Abstract: Refractory materials containing cordierite (2MgO.2Al2O3.5SiO2) and mullite (3Al2O3.2SiO2) are used as support in furnaces, because of their low thermal expansion properties which confer them a very good ability to thermal shock resistance. Composed of two phases presenting very different CTE (1.5–3×10-6 for cordierite and 4–6×10-6 K-1 for mullite), these materials can develop damag...

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 ...
