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
In the past, we have shown that the low-field magnetoacoustic technique is capable of detecting uniaxial compression in steel components without necessiating a calibration standard [1,2]. This is because the initial slope of the AF(B)/F curve (fractional frequency change of phase-locked acoustic waves as a function of net magnetic induction) is negative only under compression and positive otherwise, when the specimens are magnetized along the static unaxial stress axis.
