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, ...

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 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 ...

Figure 1. Ultrasonic testing using pulse echo and through-transmission methods. Pulse echo (left and center) uses a transducer that sends and receives ultrasound energy, producing both A- and B-scan ...

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 ...

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 ...

Deterministic, non-destructive seal integrity testing delivers validated, quantitative results. Learn why this method ...

As the newest generation of composites-intensive aircraft comes online — notably Boeing's 787, and Airbus' A380 and A350 — nondestructive testing (NDT) of composites will assume unprecedented ...

Nondestructive technologies based on visible/near infrared (VIS/NIR) spectroscopy are widely used to analyze fruit quality. One example of this is determining the soluble solids content (SSC) of ...
