Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) is an advanced method of ultrasonic testing that has applications in medical imaging and industrial nondestructive testing. Common applications are discover flaws in manufactured materials. Single-element, monolithic probes emit a beam in a fixed direction. To test a large volume...
Ultrasonic testing (UT) is non-destructive testing method based on the propagation of ultrasonic waves in the material tested.
X-ray diffraction results from an electromagnetic wave interacting with a regular array of scatterers (arrangement of atoms within the crystal).
Acoustic emission testing (AE) is a method of non-destructive testing (NDT). In summary, radiation of acoustic (elastic) waves in material that occurs when a substrate undergoes substantial changes due to crack formation, deformation or external mechanical forces. Waves generated...
