This volume is dedicated to an emerging
technology that has found practical applications in many industries.
Based on the acoustic energy released by
stressed materials, acoustic emission methods have proven ideal for testing many
materials, including some that are difficult or impossible to test with other
techniques.
Contents: detailed theory and
research in the composites, ceramics, nuclear power, petrochemical,
microelectronics, and aerospace industries.
Superconductivity, biomedical
engineering, civil engineering, welding and a number of process monitoring
applications are also covered.
Contains 616 illustrations. |
