This book provides basic theoretical knowledge about NDT and also discusses its practical applications. Non-destructive testing (NDT) aids scientists to assess the structures and properties of the materials and components that they are using. NDT techniques and models are economical and guarantee the quality of engineered systems and products. NDT methods use various procedures ranging from several contact methods, such as eddy current, magnetic particle and liquid penetrant testing, to contact-less method, such as radiography, thermography, and shearography. The book also covers several latest developments and applications of this technique in different fields, including evaluation of civil structures and its application in medicine.
In the generation of X-rays with an X-ray tube, the minimum wavelength?min that is produced is given by?min=hc/eV where h=Planck's constant,6.62611034Js, c=speed of light,2.9979108m/s, e=elementary charge,1.60221019C, and V=the tube voltage ...
This book provides an overview and up-to-date synthesis of the previously mentioned techniques to the field of civil engineering and includes topics relating to infrastructure and structures.
This book, titled Non-destructive Testing Techniques meets the requirement for a text book on Non-Destructive Testing and also a support text for courses on Materials Science and Technology/Materials Testing and Technology.
