Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without ...
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 ...
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, ...
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 ...
Strike a bell, and the bell rings at its resonance modes. Strike it harder and the bell rings at the same tone, only louder. Now imagine a small crack in the bell, perhaps invisible to the eye. We ...
Nondestructive testing (NDT) refers to the inspection of materials to ensure their integrity and serviceability without damaging the components in the process. There are various NDT methods used by ...
The American Concrete Institute (ACI) has announced the launch of its Nondestructive Testing Specialist – Concrete Strength certification program. The program will certify individuals who successfully ...
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 ...
