Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods include a wide range of analytical techniques that can evaluate various kinds of materials, elements, welds, systems, etc., without rendering any damage or harm ...

Figure 1. Ultrasonic testing using pulse echo and through-transmission methods. Pulse echo (left and center) uses a transducer that sends and receives ultrasound energy, producing both A- and B-scan ...

Nondestructive analysis is used for testing the soundness of a material for surface or internal flaws or biomechanical parameters without causing deterioration or suitability for function. There are ...

Well-established regulations have been used worldwide to certify the mechanical characteristics of advanced materials like polymer nanocomposites across different industries. To establish a ...

It’s commonly known that products need to be tested before they’re available for use. Across all industries, different mechanical components and materials need to undergo rigorous testing to ensure ...

The growing requirements and diversity of nanotechnology applications have motivated scientists and researchers to work on the development of nanomaterials. The evolution of science and technology ...

Nondestructive Testing for Additive Manufacturing provides an overview of the most common nondestructive testing (NDT) methods used in additive manufacturing (AM). Unlike destructive testing, NDT ...

As the newest generation of composites-intensive aircraft comes online — notably Boeing's 787, and Airbus' A380 and A350 — nondestructive testing (NDT) of composites will assume unprecedented ...

Unlike destructive testing, NDT inspects parts without affecting their future usability. As a result, it is frequently more practical for inspecting AM parts, which are often produced in small-batch ...
