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 use of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) to predict strength or reliability of materials requires two steps. One is to identify and measure the dimensions of strength-controlling defects, and the other is to relate the defect size to the strength. The purpose of this paper is to examine such relations between defects and strength for ceramic fiber composites, and to identify some of the important flaws for which nondestructive detection methods will be needed.
