Inhaltsangabe

This book meets the requirements of students taking either full courses or a portion of the courses in Non-Destructive Testing Techniques on Materials Science and Technology/Materials Testing and Technology. Besides serving the primary purpose of providing a textbook on the subject, it also provides a much-needed reference to various engineers and research-scientists that use Non-Destructive Testing Techniques for inspection purposes or for material behavioral research studies. The subject has been introduced in a very lucid manner. It provides a comprehensive view of Ultrasonic Testing, Eddy-Current Testing, Magnetic Particle Flaw Detection, Liquid Penetrant Inspection, X-Radiography, Acoustic Emission Testing, Acousto-Ultrasonic Testing and miscellaneous NDT methods.
