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 introduction of advanced composite materials into many of the new generation aircraft and spacecraft has given rise to a significant increase in all aspects of operational capability. These materials come in many forms; organic and non-organic, fibrous and particulate, and endless combinations of the above which not only give enhanced strength characteristics, but deliver them in very specific design directions. The more common uses are in both primary and secondary aircraft structures, however, considerable effort is also being put into designing composite materials for use in hostile environments such as those destined for use as jet engine turbine blades.
