Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) procedures are needed for materials
processing, as well as for post-process materials testing. They
play important roles in product design, analysis of service-life
expectancy, manufacturing and quality control of manufactured
products. They are also essential to on-line monitoring of the
integrity of structural elements and complex systems. Rational
accept and reject criteria should be based on NDE tests. Critical
safety, efficiency and operational features of large-scale
structures depend on adequate NDE capabilities. The lectures
presented in this volume are concerned with quantitative ultrasonic
NDE. They present fundamental concepts and basic theory, as well as
applications to the detection of cracks and the evaluation of
material properties. The following topics are discussed: basic wave
propagation theory for ultrasonic NDE; piezoelectric transducers,
EMATS and ultrasonic spectroscopy; laser-based ultrasonics;
acoustoelasticity; ultrasound in solids with porosity,
microcracking and polycrystalline structuring; the determination of
mechanical properties of composite materials; inverse problems and
imaging.
