Description
This series provides a comprehensive review of the latest research results in quantitative nondestructive evaluation (NDE). Leading investigators working in government agencies, major industries, and universities cover a broad spectrum of work extending from basic research to early engineering applications. The current volume, consisting of Parts A and B, collects edited versions of most of the papers presented at the 18th Annual [title], held at Bowdoin College, Brunswick, Maine, July/August 1991. Part A details the development of NDE techniques, with chapters devoted to fundamentals of standard techniques; evolving techniques; interpretive signal processing and image reconstruction; and sensors and standards. Part B of volume 11 addresses advances in materials characterization, with chapters devoted to engineered materials; material properties; stress, nonlinearity, and deformation; and new techniques and systems.
