Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation
Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

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

Over the past few years, the need for improved flaw detection sensitivity has motivated the development of imaging techniques for eddy current testing [1]. The imaging approach has a major advantage over more traditional eddy current detection methods as image processing routines may be applied to the eddy current images to enhance flaw detection capability. Smaller probes are also being developed to further improve the resolution and sensitivity of flaw detection. The use of smaller probes, however, requires shorter data acquisition sampling intervals. This forces a tradeoff between inspection resolution and inspection speed. The need for simultaneous improvement in both inspection resolution and speed has stimulated an interest in eddy current arrays. As a result, a powerful new eddy current array inspection technology is emerging.
