Revision of Document IIS/IIW - 1033-89 'Information on practices for underwater non-destructive testing' Prepared by Working Group 2 of Commission V - Quality Control and Quality Assurance of Welded Products
This book is a collection of papers presented in the NDT Conference held on February 20-23, 1996 at San Diego, California. The conference provided an opportunity to share experience and provide additional input to the Federal Highway Administration.
Concrete will be the key material for Mankind to create the built environment of the next millennium. The requirements of this infrastructure will be both demanding, in terms of technical performance and economy, and yet be greatly varied, from architectural masterpieces to the simplest of utilities.Specialist techniques and materials for concrete construction forms the Proceedings of the three day international conference held during the Congress, creating with concrete, 6-10 September 1999, organised by the Concrete technology unit, University of Dundee.
This book reviews the current state of all types of electromagnetic testing techniques and considers the implications of innovations for future inspection practice both in Europe and Japan.This volume provides researchers with an overview of exchanges on the subjects of ACPD and ACFM from both Japanese and continental perspectives. For instance: the Japanese project of applied electromagnetic theory to inspect nuclear power plants and the theory of signal inversion for flaw identification. Topics covered are: - Inversion, imaging and flaw reconstruction - Advanced signal processing - Artificial intelligence and neural networks - Modelling, simulation and benchmark problems - Reliability of inspections, new techniques and novel sensors - Automation of data acquisition and processing The work covers a wide range of disciplines and will therefore serve a large number of researchers of electromagnetic theory for the next millenium.
Instrumentation is not a clearly defined subject, having a 'fuzzy' boundary with a number of other disciplines. Often categorized as either 'techniques' or 'applications' this book addresses the various applications that may be needed with reference to the practical techniques that are available for the instrumentation or measurement of a specific physical quantity or quality. This makes it of direct interest to anyone working in the process, control and instrumentation fields where these measurements are essential. * Comprehensive and authoritative collection of technical information* Written by a collection of specialist contributors* Updated to include chapters on the fieldbus standards, reliability, EMC, 'virtual instrumentation', fibre optics, smart and intelligent transmitters, analyzers, level and flow meters, and many more
