in this paper a new method for nondestructive testing or nondestructive evaluation is proposed for glass-epoxy composite. for this purpose, impact-echo is used to evaluate the properties of composite materials, detecting internal defects and thickness measurement. in the impact-echo method a steel ball impacts on a composite plate and generates stress waves or p-waves which will be transferred ...

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...

Sophisticated methods have often been developed in order to analyze the structure of materials and, in particular, to explain their microstructure or to make clear internal and superficial defects, such as cracks and notches. It is known, in fact, that the properties which determine the choice of a particular material for scientific applications strictly depend on its microstructure. Moreover, ...
