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
Structural parts made from metal matrix composites are expected to sustain high levels of mechanical and thermal loadings. In most cases these loadings have a cyclic nature. They lead to the development of fatigue damage. It is important to have nondestructive testing tools which would allow one to detect and quantify the damage in these materials at early stages of its development and predict the remaining fatigue life.
