Steel wire ropes are critical components in a wide range of industrial and infrastructural applications. Their integrity is paramount to the safe and continuous operation of systems such as cranes, ...

Strike a bell, and the bell rings at its resonance modes. Strike it harder and the bell rings at the same tone, only louder. Now imagine a small crack in the bell, perhaps invisible to the eye. We ...

Nondestructive analysis is used for testing the soundness of a material for surface or internal flaws or biomechanical parameters without causing deterioration or suitability for function. There are ...

The principles of the magnetic-perturbation method of flaw detection and the Barkhausen noise residual stress measurement method are briefly reviewed. It is suggested that they provide very powerful ...

Nondestructive testing (NDT) refers to the inspection of materials to ensure their integrity and serviceability without damaging the components in the process. There are various NDT methods used by ...

Journal of Coastal Research, SPECIAL ISSUE NO. 110. Recent Developments of Port, Marine, and Ocean Engineering (FALL 2020), pp. 91-94 (4 pages) Welding technology is widely used in the manufacture and ...

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Researcher David Moore holds a rectangle of hard carbon composite material, smooth with a faint woven pattern on its surface. The sample shows normal wear and tear until he turns ...

It’s commonly known that products need to be tested before they’re available for use. Across all industries, different mechanical components and materials need to undergo rigorous testing to ensure ...

Like an X-ray is used to see inside the human body, non-destructive testing (NDT) can be a powerful and effective means of understanding a bridge’s structural integrity without damaging the ...

Nondestructive testing (NDT) is involved with analyzing or testing samples without destroying their application or system. In other words, after the investigation of a given sample, it should be able ...

Researchers have demonstrated that sensitive nondestructive evaluation (NDE) techniques can be used to determine the elemental composition of ancient coins, even coins that generally have been ...
