Advances in Non-Destructive Testing Methods, 3rd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

The Topic Editors would like to invite submissions for a Topic entitled “Advances in Non-Destructive Testing Methods—3rd Edition”, a continuation of the two successful previous editions of the Topic.

Non-destructive testing refers to a group of surface and volumetric diagnostic tests which provide information about the functional properties of a tested object. They allow for the determination of the condition of its micro- and macrostructure without any interference in the structure itself. This basic feature means that the main purpose of non-destructive testing is the detection of material defects and evaluation of tested objects for discontinuity and lack of uniformity. Thanks to NDT, it is possible, for example, to detect defects or cracks from corrosion and erosion. Non-destructive testing can be carried out at various stages of production, operation, or repair. It is used to perform quality control for production and to determine the technical condition of an object. All this means that non-destructive testing finds a wide range of applications in various branches of industry.

The purpose of this Topic is to present both the development of various non-destructive testing methods, as well as examples of applications of this group of tests in various branches of industry. The editors do not limit the scope of the subject to strictly defined methods; rather, the idea is to present the widest possible spectrum of tests and methods used—featuring visual, penetration, endoscopic, magnetic-powder, eddy current, ultrasonic, radiographic, leakage, acoustic emission, infrared thermographic, or strain gauge tests. We invite all scientists and researchers to contribute to this Topic.
