Cracking furnaces, operating under high temperatures and in a hydrocarbon medium, subject their tubes to complex stresses such as internal pressure, self-weight, fatigue, and thermal shock during ...

Surface-breaking cracks in concrete pose a significant threat to the durability of built structures. They create pathways for an accelerated moisture intrusion, and the transport of environmental and ...

A new system, developed by Tohoku University researchers in Japan in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory in the US, takes 3-D images that can detect defects in metallic structures. The ...

Researchers created a high-resolution 3D ultrasonic imaging system for concrete that uses broadband ultrasonic signals to automatically adapt to different types of concrete structures. WASHINGTON, Jan ...

A Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory team demonstrated that a diagnostic incorporating surface acoustic waves—generated by laser-based ultrasound—could effectively and accurately evaluate laser ...

From large aerospace production systems to challenging small-scale honeycomb applications, LEA has already proven itself in ...

Dr. Park Chan Wook (Postdoctoral Researcher, Non-Destructive Metrology Group, KRISS); The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS, President Lee Ho-seong) has developed an ultrasonic ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques increasingly require novel non-destructive inspection methods able to fit smoothly within AM workflows, in particular for the detection of structural defects. A ...

The hidden nature of composite damage poses an unusual challenge for the cycling industry. “A CFRP frame can sustain significant internal damage in the form of delamination, matrix cracking or ply ...

Concrete structures like roads and bridges require nondestructive testing methods to identify interior defects without destroying their structure. Most methods send sound waves into the material and ...
