Non-Destructive Evaluation as a Foundation of Structural Integrity Assessment
Péter Trampus
Abstract
The author provides an overview of the development from quality control type non-destructive testing (NDT) to quantitative non-destructive evaluation (NDE), describing the driving forces and the major characteristics of both NDT and NDE. The basic elements of NDE reliability – i.e. applicability, reproducibility, repeatability and capability – are defined. Finally, the role of NDE in structural integrity assessment is presented.
