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
Thermal wave techniques have received increasing attention for use in the inspection and characterization of composite materials. These techniques have the advantages of being contactless, rapid requiring access to only one surface of the object under inspection. In this paper we demonstrate the ability of the technique to image flaws in several types of composite materials and to measure the depths of the flaws.
