Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of papers is from Materials Week '93 held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, October 17-21, 1993. The book intends to develop a fundamental understanding of relating non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques to microstructures and material properties of metals, polymers, ceramics and advanced composite and intermetallic materials.;Coverage includes: ultrasonic detection of tightly and weakly bonded materials in a composite laminate; strength, acoustic evaluation and metallurgy of diffusion bonds; SEM analysis of fatigue-induced microstructural changes and the resulting effect on magnetic properties of structural steels; and the application of X-ray diffraction for NDE process and quality control.
