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 world of technology today, scientists and engineers are concerned about having the results of their work proceed through development to application. This concern exists because of a funding-source pressure to be relevant. One response to this pressure is to become a method evangelist and another is to transfer emphasis from research to technology development. However, a way is available to avoid this unfortunate circumstance and that is to focus on appropriate technology.
