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
Determination of content and distribution of porosity introduced in composites during fabrication, is an important issue in characterizing composite materials, especially thick ones. Dispersed or discrete elongated pores, located at the fiber-matrix or ply interfaces, can act as nuclei of further damage growth during loading of the composite laminate.
