This text on numerical methods applied to the analysis of
electromagnetic nondestructive testing (NOT) phenomena is the first
in a series devoted to all aspects of engineering nondestructive
evaluation. The timing of this series is most appropriate as many
university engineering/physics faculties around the world,
recognizing the industrial significance of the subject, are
organizing new courses and programs with engineering NOE as a
theme. Additional texts in the series will cover electromagnetics
for engineering NOE, microwave NOT methods, ultrasonic testing,
radiographic methods and signal processing for NOE. It is the
intended purpose of the series to provide senior-graduate level
coverage of the material suitable for university curricula and to
be generally useful to those in industry with engineering degrees
who wish to upgrade their NOE skills beyond those needed for
certification. This dual purpose for the series reflects the very
applied nature of NOE and the need to develop suitable texts
capable of bridging the gap between research laboratory studies of
NOE phenomena and the real world of certification and industrial
applications. The reader might be tempted to question these
assertions in light of the rather mathematical nature of this first
text. However, the subject of numerical modeling is of critical
importance to a thorough understanding of the field-defect
interactions at the heart of all electromagnetic NOT phenomena.
Microwave testing has been paid only scant attention in the
literature as a method for nondestructive testing of materials, yet
it offers some attractive features, especially for the testing of
composite and other non-metallic materials. Microwave techniques
have been used in a large number of applications that can be
classified as nondestructive testing applications, ranging from
large scale remote sensing to detection of tumors in the body. This
volume describes a unified approach to microwave nondestructive
testing by presenting the three essential components of testing:
theory, practice, and modelling. While recognizing that each of
these subjects is wide enough to justify a volume of its own, the
presentation of the three topics together shows that these are
interrelated and should be practiced together. While few will argue
against a good theoretical background, modelling and simulation of
the testing environment is seldom part of the NDT training in any
method, but particularly so in microwave testing. The text is
devided in four parts. The first part presents the field theory
background necessary for understanding the microwave domain. The
second part treats microwave measurements as well as devices and
sources and the third part discusses practical tests applicable to
a variety of materials and geometries. The fourth part discusses
modelling of microwave testing. Each chapter contains a
bibliography intended to expand on the material given and, in
particular, to point to subjects which could not be covered either
as not appropriate or for lack of space. For engineers, applied
physicsts, material scientists.
