Review of progress in quantitative nondestructive evaluation. Vols. 9A ampersand 9B

Various papers on quantitative nondestructive evaluation are presented. The general topics addressed include: fundamentals of elastic wave scattering and flaw sizing, elastic wave propagation, and eddy currents; advanced techniques in computed tomography, laser-based methods, and other new techniques; interpretative signal and image processing in neural networks and other applications; ultrasonic transducers and inductive probes; instruments and systems. Also discusssed are electronic and ceramic materials and their applications to smart structures, adhesive joints, metal-metal joints, composites, and defects in composites; characterization of the properties, nonlinear acoustic properties, deformation and fracture properties, acoustoelasticity stress and texture of materials, including ferrous and civil materials and structures; manufacturing and process control
