Strike a bell, and the bell rings at its resonance modes. Strike it harder and the bell rings at the same tone, only louder. Now imagine a small crack in the bell, perhaps invisible to the eye. We ...

Through innovations in physics, chemistry, and technology, non-destructive testing (NDT) allows material analysis without damaging samples. This is a relatively recent technique, where previously the ...

Eddy current testing is a well-established method of nondestructive testing that is used to examine nonferrous/nonmagnetic materials such as condenser and heat exchanger tubes in power generation ...

Structural health monitoring (SHM), essentially, involves a nondestructive testing (NDT) system that integrates sensors into a structure to enable continuous or periodic inspection. The resulting data ...

Steel wire ropes are critical components in a wide range of industrial and infrastructural applications. Their integrity is paramount to the safe and continuous operation of systems such as cranes, ...

To enable the Democratic Republic of the Congo to achieve critical mass for skills, national autonomy and sustainability in the areas of non-destructive testing, and the application of radioisotopes ...

Amorphous silicon digital x-ray detectors from PerkinElmer deliver twice the output speed of previous designs, with output of up to 30 fps, while maintaining 16-bit resolution and the ability to ...
