Imaging in NDE

  • Chapter
Acoustical Imaging

Part of the book series: Acoustical Imaging ((ACIM,volume 9))

Abstract

The ultimate objective of most nondestructive evaluation (NDE) studies is to develop a capability for predetermining the inservice failure probabilities of a structural component with the best possible confidence. The role that ultrasonic imaging can be expected to play in the failure prediction process is reviewed. Included are discussions of the basic concepts of imaging in NDE, a survey of types of NDE imaging systems, and some key problem areas which need to be addressed in the future.
