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 ...

Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without ...

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 ...

The principles of the magnetic-perturbation method of flaw detection and the Barkhausen noise residual stress measurement method are briefly reviewed. It is suggested that they provide very powerful ...

Steel wire ropes are critical components in a wide range of industrial and infrastructural applications. Their integrity is paramount to the safe and continuous operation of systems such as cranes, ...

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 ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Researcher David Moore holds a rectangle of hard carbon composite material, smooth with a faint woven pattern on its surface. The sample shows normal wear and tear until he turns ...

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 ...
