In this paper a new electromagnetic nondestructive system for inspection of train hollow axle is presented. The system allows to observe changes of vector AC fields in order to enhance the probability of proper classification. The performance of the system is verified using hollow axle sample with artificial notches of different depths. The experimental results are presented and discussed. Keyw...

This letter draws attention to a previously unnoticed artifact associated with the most common type of thermoelectric nondestructive materials characterization technique. It is shown that contact heating between the specimen to be tested and the reference electrode gives rise to a considerable offset in the measured thermoelectric voltage. The resulting bias significantly reduces the feasibilit...

abstract the assessment of ripeness is a major part of quality evaluation and depends on several factors such as soluble solid content (ssc), acidity and firmness. most of the methods that measure these qualities are destructive. so it is essential to develop an efficient and nondestructive method for measuring internal attributes of fruit. the objective of this study was to investigate visible...

The detection, isolation, and characterization of flaws in components represent a critical need in manufacturing and quality control. Nondestructive testing (NDT) provides an effective way of inspecting materials for ensuring the quality and integrity of products and systems. Consequently, nondestructive inspection finds extensive application in several industries such as steel, nuclear and ele...

Electromagnetic nondestructive tests are important and widely used within the field of nondestructive evaluation (NDE). The recent advances in sensing technology, hardware and software development dedicated to imaging and image processing, and material sciences have greatly expanded the application fields, sophisticated the systems design and made the potential of electromagnetic NDE imaging se...

Quality control in the orthopedical diagnostics according to DIN EN ISO 9000 ff requires methods of nondestructive process control, which do not harm the patient neither by radiation nor by invasive examinations. To gain an improvement of health economy quality controlled and nondestructive measurements have to be introduced in the diagnostics and the therapy of human joints and bones. There is...

http://ammtiac.alionscience.com The AMMTIAC Quarterly, Volume 1, Number 3 INTRODUCTION Visual inspection is by far the most common nondestructive testing (NDT) technique [1]. When attempting to determine the soundness of any part or specimen for its intended application, visual inspection is normally the first step in the examination process. Generally, almost any specimen can be visually exami...

the aim of this study was to evaluate sound and decayed wood of iranianbeech (fagus orientalis) with a nondestructive stress wave method. wood samples,with dimensions of 9 by 19 by 200 mm were decayed in laboratory soil-bed tests,based on european pre-standard env-807. the decay was evaluated by measuringbending dynamic modulus of elasticity (moed) and longitudinal dynamicmodulus of elasticity ...
