Microwave thermography (MWT) has many advantages including strong penetrability, selective heating, volumetric heating, significant energy savings, uniform heating, and good thermal efficiency. MWT has received growing interest due to its potential to overcome some of the limitations of microwave nondestructive testing (NDT) and thermal NDT. Moreover, during the last few decades MWT has attract...

The field incidence of the serpentine leaf miner, L. trifolii(Burgess) was severe during the fruiting stage of the crop and infestation was higher on lower surface of leaf in comparisons of upper surface. On the basis of cumulative susceptibility index test varieties viz. HS-102, SEL-14, Pant T-4, PS-8, PT-28, NDT-44, BT-117-5-3-1, Pusa Ruby (Check), KS-118, Pant Bahar, CO-3, Pant Hybrid-1, BBs...

The automatic weld seam tracking is an important challenge in None Destructive Testing (NDT) systems for welded pipe inspection. In this Study, a machine vision based seam tracker, is developed and implemented, instead of old electro-mechanical system. A novel algorithm based on the weld image centered is presented, to reduce Environment conditions and improve the seam tracking accuracy. The we...

Brush-electroplated nickel coating has been widely applied to repair and remanufacture ferrous metal component. Generally, the nickel coating has thickness from 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm, and it is also ferromagnetic like iorn metals. Therefore, the traditional supersonic thickness tester and eddy current thickness tester are not competent to measure the nickel coating thickness on iron or steel metal ...

Aim and Objective: Cerebral palsy (CP) describes a group of disorders causing activity limitation which is attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occur in the developing fetal or infant brain. The rehabilitation of children with CP has focused on increasing functionality in their daily activities. The objective of this study was to assess the disability levels of cerebral palsy patient...

This study aims at improving shearography non-destructive testing (NDT) of deep defects in thick composites with thermal loading. Instead conventional global heating (GH), the core idea is to apply novel spatially modulated (SMH) for NDT. In this paper, finite element method (FEM) has been used advance towards a quantitative inspection tool composites. Both GH and SMH have performed experimenta...

Current NDT techniques are capable of identifying sub millimetre defects in structural materials. Nanoscale NDT however, necessitates development of new techniques for identifying and sizing surface and more importantly subsurface imperfections. The reliability of micro and especially nano scale components heavily depends on such new developments. This paper presents an attempt to explore the p...

A radar nondestructive testing (NDT) technique using an airborne horn antenna operating in the far-field condition is developed for detecting damages such as debonding and concrete cracking in glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP)-wrapped concrete columns. The far-field airborne radar (FAR) NDT technique is advantageous for distant measurement in practical applications where contact/nearcontact...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two different treatment interventions, neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) and practicing of specific functional activity, on improving the gross manual dexterity of the affected upper extremity in spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsied children. Thirty children with spastic hemiparetic cerebral palsy (CP) participated in the study, rangin...

The load-bearing capacity of pavement structures is a fundamental structural performance metric of transportation infrastructure networks in the context of safe and efficient movement of people and goods from one place to another. Non-destructive test (NDT) methods are typically employed to routinely evaluate the structural condition of pavement structures, their lifespan and the appropriate ma...
