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 early detection of fatigue cracks in the aging aircraft fleet has become the focus of increased attention in recent years. One area of particular concern is the fuselage lap joint. Repeated pressurization cycles can result in the formation of fatigue cracks which typically emanate from the fasteners and propagate longitudinally as illustrated in Figure 1. This problem can be exacerbated considerably by the presence of corrosion.
