Summary
The author describes the latest methods of determining the quality of products without destroying them. Nondestructive evaluation reduces product destruction, especially important for expensive products. This chapter includes the latest NDE tools: high-resolution surface inspection, filmless radiography, resonant frequency, modal analysis of bulk waves and acoustic emission.
