Nondestructive Evaluation: A Tool in Design, Manufacturing, and Service Book

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) inspection schemes are important in design, manufacturing, and maintenance. By correctly applying techniques of NDE, we can reduce machine and system failures and increase reliability of operating systems over an extended lifetime. Nondestructive Evaluation: A Tool in Design, Manufacturing, and Service introduces and discusses primary techniques used in the field, including ultrasonics, acoustic emission, magnetics, radiography, penetrants, and eddy currents. Examples of each of these techniques are included, demonstrating typical applications. With the information in this book, NDE inspection schemes and results can be proposed and evaluated with confidence. Practicing engineers and scientists will find the material in Nondestructive Evaluation: A Tool in Design, Manufacturing, and Service useful, interesting, and easy to read. It's also a great textbook for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate courses that focus on calculus and engineering materials. The problems and suggested experiments make this the ideal teaching tool.Read More
