Abstract

Practical applications of quantitative ultrasonic techniques are discussed. After a review of the role of nondestructive evaluation in the life cycle of structural components, attention is focussed on several specific examples. Included are discussions of uses of models in designing for inspectability and validating proposed procedures for flaw detection, techniques for measurements of deformation and fracture related material properties, and techniques for measurement of stress. References to more detailed review articles are provided.
