Ultrasonic and Advanced Methods for Nondestructive Testing and Material Characterization
Author: C. H. Chen | Size: 18 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Unspecified | Publisher: World Scientific Publishing | Year: 2007 | pages: 682 | ISBN: 9812704094 9789812704092
This book deals with both industrial ultrasound and medical ultrasound. Topics like structural health monitoring, Terahertz methods, X-ray and thermography methods are presented. Besides different sensors for nondestructive testing, the book places much emphasis on signal/image processing and pattern recognition of the signals acquired.
The advantages of ultrasound include flexibility, low cost, in-line operation, and providing data in both signal and image formats for further analysis.
The book devotes 11 chapters to ultrasonic methods. However, ultrasonic methods can be much less effective with some applications.
So the book also has 14 chapters catering to other or advanced methods for nondestructive testing or material characterization.
