While research on ultrasonics has been covered in earlier volumes
of the Physical Acoustics series, Volumes 23 and 24 demonstrate the
successful commercialization of devices and instruments arising
from research in this area. These volumes will assist in the
process of bringing research output into the marketplace to the
benefit of customers.
The chapters are liberally illustrated with pictures of actual
commercial objects which have been or are in use. Included are
Medical Ultrasonic Diagnostics, Nondestructive Testing (NDT),
Acoustic Emission, Process Control, Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW)
Devices, Frequency Control Devices, Research Instruments,
Transducers, and Ultrasonic Microscopes. Also contained in the text
are six essays covering technology transfer and commercialization.

Finance is not, in general, a part of the curriculum for
scientists, engineers, and even nondestructive testing (NDT)
specialists. Therefore, justifying proposals for new methods and
equipment that may seemingly add a modicum of cost to the
production process can be problematic. Financial Justification of
Nondestructive Testing not only explains how 100% inspection by
high-tech methods can save money for a manufacturing organization,
but also explains how to justify this cost to upper management.
Placing NDT in the historical context of quality and inspection,
the author demonstrates three methods of calculation for proving
the validity of NDT. He includes a forum of arguments, for and
against, on the use of NDT; covers how NDT relates to quality
standards like ISO-9000; and provides new examples of successful
NDT. The book draws on examples from real life, demonstrating use
of 100% NDT in factory situations when proven justified by
financial calculations. It also describes high-tech inspection
technology in the context of modern ISO Quality Standards, Total
Quality Management theory, and Statistical Process Control.
Inspection by means of NDT is a process that has a definite place
in the big picture of quality and cost-effective manufacturing.
Obtaining finance is key to the implementation of NDT, yet
financial calculations are often the stumbling block to getting the
needed approvals. Demonstrating how to apply financial formulas to
prove or disprove the utility of 100% NDT, Financial Justification
of Nondestructive Testing helps you build the financial case for
your NDT projects.
