Thermal non-destructive testing and evaluation of solids

This book presents recent advances in thermal/infrared non-destructive testing and evaluation of solid materials by pulse compression favorable non-periodic thermal excitation schemes. It puts together concise and complete information on pulse compression favorable thermal non-destructive testing and evaluation (TNDT&E) methods for industrial inspection of wide verity of materials. This book will help practicing engineers from various disciplines to implement nondestructive evaluation methods on the production line and enhance their knowledge of industrial inspection techniques. It can also be used as a teaching aid at universities especially involved in testing and evaluation of materials. Finally research centres will find it valuable as a reference book for TNDT&E.
