This series provides a comprehensive review of the latest research results in quantitative nondestructive evaluation (NDE). Leading investigators working in government agencies, major industries, and universities present a broad spectrum of work extending from basic research to early engineering applications. Part A of Volume 21 details the development of NDE techniques: (1) Fundamentals of ultrasonic scattering and propagation, guided waves, and laser ultrasonics; (2) Aspects of all electromagnetic NDE including eddy currents, SQUID technology, microwave, thermal and x-rays; (3) Advances in signal processing, reconstruction, and classification; (4) Research and development in ultrasonic fields, transducers and arrays, new sensors, techniques, and systems. Part B addresses advances in materials characterization, new applications, and reliability: (1) NDE for engineered materials including composites, bonded materials, films, coatings, infrastructure materials, and structures; (2) Characterization of both nonferrous and ferrous materials (properties, microstructure, fatigue, stress, Barkhausen effect, modeling); (3) NDE applications for manufacturing/process control, corrosion detection and characterization, railway defects; (4) NDE reliability including "benchmark" problems, education, and future directions.
