Current economics often dictate the use of structures well beyond
their design lives. Today, there is an increased reliance on
nondestructive evaluation (NDE) to provide accurate data about the
health of materials in these aging systems. Examples of such
structures include aircraft, bridges, nuclear reactors, roads,
ships, industrial manufacturing facilities, storage vessels for
both toxic and nontoxic substances, electronic hardware, etc. This
book looks at ways to develop new NDE techniques for aging
materials. Special emphasis is given to the structural health of
concrete, defects in high-strength aircraft materials and the
characterization of steels in nuclear reactors. One intriguing new
technology, borrowed from the semiconductor industry, is the use of
very small micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) to monitor
materials properties in situ. Using these devices in networks
should permit both real-time monitoring of materials properties
during operation and the anticipation of component failure. The
book also explores the many potentially fertile collaborative
research opportunities between NDE and noninvasive medical
diagnostic procedures.
