Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
The characteristics of acoustic resonators and the techniques used to characterize the standing wave patterns are described. It is shown that these patterns can be observed by the acoustic microscope in a transmission mode. Results are presented for circular and rectangular transducers showing the effects of supporting mount leads and defects on the vibration characteristics.
