All papers were peer reviewed. These proceedings provide the latest research and development papers in Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) and its applications to flaw detection, material properties, and structural reliability. The papers are prepared by a line-up of internationally known researchers and are reviewed by qualified scientists. Papers cover recent developments in essentially all measuring techniques (ultrasonic, electromagnetic, x-rays, thermal, acoustic emission, etc.) and their applications to flaw detection and structural reliability.
