About this Item

Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is an indispensable tool in quality assurance programme of any Engineering product and Rockets and Missiles are no exception. Due to their unique nature of functioning more stringent NDE methods are applied at every stage of their manufacture. Owing to their strategic importance, unlike in other industries, no published standards or codes are available especially in NDE area of Solid Rocket/Missile motors. Thus, it has been always a bottle-neck and an intriguing issue in the production plants of Rocket/Missile motors, to inspect and assess their quality for end use. With an idea to provide an insight into the NDE aspects of SRMs, the authors with their rich experience behind, have undertaken the task of preparing this monograph. To the extent possible, the chapters are written in a structured manner as introductory general topics to SRM-specific sub-topics. While conventional NDE methods are covered in detail, advanced and state-of-the-art techniques are dealt-with illustrations. Emphasis is given to practical aspects of NDE for the benefit of shop-floor engineers/scientists. The authors believe that, in a way, the monograph would serve as a practical book to the NDT practitioners, especially to the newly inducted personnel who are entrusted with the task of NDE of solid Rocket/Missile motors.
