Research on Nondestructive Testing.

Abstract

The aim of this year's work has been to establish new techniques for measuring the properties of materials with the ultimate aim of determining material properties such as hardness and yield strength and being able to predict the life and servicibility of mechanical structures. We have limited ourselves to acoustic measurement techniques. Our purpose is to correlate the results of acoustic measurements with the mechanical properties of the material of interest. Teh project has been divided into two parts: (1) the characterization of microstructure by acoustic NDE, and (2) the measurement of stress states by acoustic NDE. (Author)
