Emerging Technologies in Non-Destructive Testing VI

<p>Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is of worldwide significance and is strongly related to the detection of damage in engineering structures (buildings bridges aircrafts ships pressure vessels etc.) using non-invasive techniques (ultrasound X-rays Radar neutrons thermography vibrations acoustic emission etc.). <strong>Emerging Technologies in Non-Destructive Testing VI</strong> includes the contributions to the 6th International Conference in Non-Destructive Testing (Brussels Belgium 27-29 May 2015). The book intends to give the latest updates in the field of NDT and is organized in chapters on high impact subjects such as:</p><p>- Applications of NDT methods related to cultural heritage structures;<br>- Materials like ceramics polymer and composites; <br>- Railways; <br>- Glass panels; <br>- Steel structures; <br>- Wind turbines and <br>- Aerospace structures. <br>Other subjects include the monitoring of 3D-printed components self-healing mechanisms in concrete and applications of NDT in biological materials. </p><p><strong>Emerging Technologies in Non-Destructive Testing VI</strong> provides insight in the latest developments in the different techniques with a huge social impact. In addition it facilitates the exchange of ideas among scientists and the industry disseminating academic knowledge to society – and the other way around: giving feedback from the experience of practitioners to academia.</p>
