OR , if used, must be in uppercase. The analysis methods provide the clinical composition of cultural artifacts to elucidate their provenance, the rate of alteration as a result of exposure to the environment and the effectiveness of conservation and restoration strategies.

The techniques are partially or fully non-destructive, are portable, or allow study of different parts of a heterogeneous work of art. Book Summary: Nondestructive testing NDT is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials, components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of the part or system.

In other words, when the inspection or test is completed the part can still be used. In contrast to NDT, other tests are destructive in nature and are therefore done on a limited number of samples "lot sampling" , rather than on the materials, components or assemblies actually being put into service. These destructive tests are often used to determine the physical properties of materials such as impact resistance, ductility, yield and ultimate tensile strength, fracture toughness and fatigue strength, but discontinuities and differences in material characteristics are more effectively found by NDT.

Today modern nondestructive tests are used in manufacturing, fabrication and in-service inspections to ensure product integrity and reliability, to control manufacturing processes, lower production costs and to maintain a uniform quality level. During construction, NDT is used to ensure the quality of materials and joining processes during the fabrication and erection phases, and in-service NDT inspections are used to ensure that the products in use continue to have the integrity necessary to ensure their usefulness and the safety of the public.

It should be noted that while the medical field uses many of the same processes, the term "nondestructive testing" is generally not used to describe medical applications.

Test method names often refer to the type of penetrating medium or the equipment used to perform that test. Each of these test methods will be described here, followed by the other, less often used test methods. Book Summary: Non-Destructive Testing NDT is of worldwide significance, and is strongly related to the detection of damage in engineering structures buildings, bridges, aircrafts, ships, pressure vessels, etc. Emerging Technologies in Non-D.

Book Summary: Engineers have a range of sophisticated techniques at their disposal to evaluate the condition of reinforced concrete structures and non-destructive evaluation plays a key part in assessing and prioritising where money should be spent on repair or replacement of structurally deficient reinforced concrete structures. Non-destructive evaluation of reinforced concrete structures, Volume 2: Non-destructive testing methods reviews the latest non-destructive testing techniques for reinforced concrete structures and how they are used.

Part one discusses planning and implementing non-destructive testing of reinforced concrete structures with chapters on non-destructive testing methods for building diagnosis, development of automated NDE systems, structural health monitoring systems and data fusion.

Part two reviews individual non-destructive testing techniques including wireless monitoring, electromagnetic and acoustic-elastic waves, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, acoustic emission evaluation, magnetic flux leakage, electrical resistivity, capacimetry, measuring the corrosion rate polarization resistance and the corrosion potential of reinforced concrete structures, ground penetrating radar, radar tomography, active thermography, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, stress wave propagation, impact-echo, surface and guided wave techniques and ultrasonics.

Part three covers case studies including inspection of concrete retaining walls using ground penetrating radar, acoustic emission and impact echo techniques and using ground penetrating radar to assess an eight-span post-tensioned viaduct. With its distinguished editor and international team of contributors, Non-destructive evaluation of reinforced concrete structures, Volume 2: Non-destructive testing methods is a standard reference for civil and structural engineers as well as those concerned with making decisions regarding the safety of reinforced concrete structures.

Reviews the latest non-destructive testing NDT techniques and how they are used in practice Explores the process of planning a non-destructive program features strategies for the application of NDT testing A specific section outlines significant advances in individual NDT techniques and features wireless monitoring and electromagnetic and acoustic-elastic wave technology.

Book Summary: We are all familiar with impact. Lesser impacts such as hammering a nail, cracking an egg or stubbing a toe are part of everyday life. More violent impacts such as those caused by car crashes or bullets are fortunately less common but are still well enough known to be taken for granted.

Very violent impacts such as meteorites striking the earth are outside our personal experience but we are aware of them. Despite this, impacts remain mysterious. They occur too quickly for us to follow what is happening and the evidence they leave behind is often ambiguous. Over the last thirty years improvements in high speed instrumen tation and developments in computing have made them more comprehensible and an increasing amount of attention is being paid to the subject which is an area of expanding scientific and engineering research.

A multi-disciplinary approach is not yet established and information is scattered in many places and expressed in a variety of jargons. In applied mathematics, impacts have provided interesting theoretical problems with elegant solutions but it has been difficult to check results experimentally. Impacts can change the behaviour of materials but similar changes can sometimes be produced in other ways and the underlying mechanisms are not clear. Empirical solutions to engineering problems have worked reasonably well but it is hard to know what to do if things go wrong.

Book Summary: The book provides an introduction to the mechanics of composite materials, written for graduate students and practitioners in industry.

It examines ways to model the impact event, to determine the size and severity of the damage and discusses general trends observed during experiments. An external battery c. The A. Set reference: A reference bar is provided to check the instrument zero. The pulse time for the bar is engraved on it. Apply a smear of grease to the transducer faces before placing it on the opposite ends of the bar. Range selection: For maximum accuracy, it is recommended that the 0.

Apply couplant to the surfaces of the transducers and press it hand onto the surface of the material. Do not move the transducers while a reading is being taken, as this can generate noise signals and errors in measurements. The mean value of the display readings should be taken when the units digit between two values. Separation of transducer leads: It is advisable to prevent the two transducer leads from coming into close contact with each other when the transit time measurements are being taken.

If this is not done, the receiver lead might pick-up unwanted signals from the transducer lead and this would result in an incorrect display of the transit time. Test anvil — a 6 inch diameter by 6 inch long high-carbon steel cylinder hardened to Rockwell C.

Abrasive stone — silicon carbide of medium grain texture. Figure 3. Before commencement of a test, the rebound hammer should be tested against the test anvil, to get reliable result, for which the manufacturer of the rebound hammer indicates the range of readings on the anvil suitable for different types or model.

Check the hammer reading with the testing anvil before and after testing. Firmly hold the instrument in a position that allows the plunger to strike vertically downward against the test anvil and verify that the rebound hammer provides the rebound number specified.

Be sure to follow the same procedure as for testing the subsequent concrete test surface. Note that the test anvil shall be placed on a solid surface, e. Grind and clean the concrete surface using the abrasive stone.

Firmly hold the instrument in a position that allows the plunger to strike perpendicularly to the concrete test surface. Gradually increase the pressure on the plunger until the hammer impacts. Examine the impression; if the impact crushes or breaks through a near surface void, discard the reading. After impact, record the rebound number to the nearest whole number. The mean of each set of reading shall be calculated using all the readings.
