the potential of fourier transform near-infrared (ft-nir) spectroscopy technique was applied to determine moisture and soluble solids content of shahani date fruit. spectral acquisitions were carried out in reflectance mode using a ft-nir spectrophotometer in the range of 12000- 4000cm-1. three different preprocessing methods namely: multiplicative scatter correction (msc), first and second der...

The life prediction is to estimate the life while the flaw initial size and critical size are knows. On the contrary, the life control is to estimate the flaw initial size at the predetermined life. Nondestructive test would be used to detect the flaws whose sizes are bigger than the allowable initial size estimated by the method, and corresponding repair or replacement of parts or components w...

The safety of timber structure design based on the predicted Modulus of Rupture (MOR) of poplar lumber with nondestructive methods is presented in this paper. Dynamic Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) of poplar lumber was measured with three different nondestructive methods, and static MOE and MOR were obtained by a static bending test. The regression relationship between various MOE and MOR was eval...

The method of defining quantum joint probabilities of two events is applied to a multimode system of trapped Bose-condensed atoms. The coherent modes are generated by modulating the trapping potential with an alternating field with a frequency in resonance with a transition frequency between two coherent modes. The system is subjected to nondestructive measurements randomly influencing the phas...

Coating technology is used in a variety of applications, for example to improve the wear properties or to improve the bonding properties of a surface. The properties of such surfaces depend on the mechanical properties ofthe coating, namely its Young's modulus and its thickness. Tobe able to predict the performance of such coatings it is necessary to be able to measure these properties in a non...

BACKGROUND Measurement of surface roughness irregularities that result from various sources such as manufacturing processes, surface damage, and corrosion, is an important indicator of product quality for many nondestructive testing (NDT) industries. Many techniques exist, however because of their qualitative, time-consuming and direct-contact modes, it is of some importance to work out new exp...

The characterization of biomass and its dynamics provides valuable information for the assessment of natural and transplanted eelgrass populations. The need for simple, nondestructive assessments has led to the use of the leaf biomass-to-length ratio for converting leaf-length measurements, which can be easily obtained, to leaf growth rates through the plastochrone method. Using data on leaf bi...

The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of the infrared spectroscopy technique for nondestructive measurement of fat content in milk powder. Fat is an important component of milk powder. It is very important to be able to detect the fat content in milk powder using a rapid and nondestructive method. Near and mid infrared spectroscopy techniques were used to achieve this purpose. ...

the aim of this study was to evaluate sound and decayed wood of iranianbeech (fagus orientalis) with a nondestructive stress wave method. wood samples,with dimensions of 9 by 19 by 200 mm were decayed in laboratory soil-bed tests,based on european pre-standard env-807. the decay was evaluated by measuringbending dynamic modulus of elasticity (moed) and longitudinal dynamicmodulus of elasticity ...
