Explore how ultrasonic methods reveal material properties without damage and with depth.
This comprehensive volume surveys nondestructive testing techniques and their use in characterizing materials through ultrasonic waves, including practical setups, data processing, and interpretation.
This edition collects proceedings from an international symposium and offers both theoretical insights and real-world verification. Readers will see how optical and piezoelectric sensors compare, how data pipelines are built, and how results inform material performance and defect assessment.
- Foundations of ultrasonic nondestructive testing and material characterization
- Experimental setups, data processing, and signal analysis for bulk wave studies
- Comparisons of transducer types and measurement approaches
- Applications and potential of pattern classification in interpreting ultrasonic data
Ideal for engineers, researchers, and students working in nondestructive evaluation and materials characterization.
