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
NDE technology encompasses a broad field of applications [1] such as material selection, properties characterization, defect detection, damage assessment, process monitoring, in-service sensing, etc. However, the most common application of NDE, for hardware manufacturers, remains in quality assurance of products at various check points. In such operations, process engineers and customers demand well archived inspection procedures and test records for future reference. Although inspection reports may serve this purpose, imaging techniques that directly correlate measured NDE parameters with specimen coordinates are the preferred methods for inspection and data presentation.
