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
A collection of fundamental experimental results on edge waves propagating along the edge of free and immersed elastic wedges and plates were presented at the Special Session entitled “Long-Range NDE Using Guided Waves/Extended Overviews” chaired by Professor S. Rokhlin. This paper summarizes the experimental results discussed on the effect of wedge apex truncation and water loading on the phase velocity of the slowest antisymmetric flexural wedge mode. The remaining results that were presented on plate edge flexural waves and edge waves along elastic wedges with range-dependent apex angle are described elsewhere [1–4]
