Synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) has been used in non-destructive testing mainly in its simplest form that mimics acoustic lenses used for focusing ultrasonic beams at a point of a solid object or structure. This paper presents a review of SAFT algorithms applied for post-processing of ultrasonic data acquired in non-destructive inspection of metals. The performance of SAFT in terms...

We present an accurate, fast, simple and non-destructive photographic method to estimate wax ester and lipid content in single individuals of the calanoid copepod genus Calanus and test this method against gas-chromatographic lipid measurements.

|With this paper we aim at presenting a neural based approach to conductivity distribution reconstruction by eddy current (EC) data inversion. Keywords| Electromagnetic non-destructive test, Eddy current inspection, Maximum-likelihood data inversion. I. Numerical determination of variation in

The application of modern non-destructive testing methods on grain quality testing had important implications for grain production, distribution and sale. In the paper, five test methods of modern electronic information technology, which were near-infrared spectroscopy, electronic nose, machine vision, magnetic resonance and acoustic vibrations, were described, the research progress of near-inf...

therefore, the objective of this study is to test the feasibility of uv-ir transmission spectroscopy for the non-destructive assessment of the freshness of an individual egg as an alternative for traditional inspection methods. to obtain a considerable variation in freshness, groups consisting of 10 eggs were stored (30 7 oc and 25% 4 rh) for 30 days. data obtained from non-destructive spectral...

Nowadays, the better performance of lightweight structures during earthquake has resulted in using lightweight concrete more than ever. However, determining the compressive strength of concrete used in these structures during their service through a none-destructive test is a popular and useful method.  One of the main methods of non-destructive testing in the assessment of compressive strength...

This review paper deals about the main optical NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) method known as, electronic speckle Interferometry. Optical metrology is a field of physics, which includes theoretical and experimental methods to estimate physical parameters, using the light wavelength as fundamental scale. Most of the modern industries need quick and reliable measurement methods for measuring defor...

quality evaluation is one of the effective activities in trade, economy and the health of communities. for this purpose, non-destructive methods are increasingly used, as they are faster and more economical in comparison with destructive ones. this study investigated the feasibility of predicting firmness by laser light backscattering imaging system, as a new non-destructive method for one cult...
