Synopsis

Ultrasonic time-of-flight diffraction is a technique for determining the size of cracks within structure or their components. The two British engineers explain its underlying principles and its use in enough detail that people otherwise unfamiliar with it should be able to use it effectively. The mathematical detail has been confined to the appendices so that non-specialists can follow the text. The 1989 first edition is here updated to account for the technique's growth from new to generally accepted over the intervening decade, and to incorporate the considerable more data available from and about it.

About this title

Synopsis

The ultrasonic time of flight diffraction technique (TOFD) is a routine method for defect detection and sizing performance in engineering structures. The first book by the authors, published in 1989, aimed to give the non-destructive testing engineer comprehensive information on the theoretical background, practicl implementation and performance of the technique. The method is now widely used and is a European as well as a British Standard. This second edition includes new material on the theoretical basis, experimental demonstration of capability and engineering applications of TOFD. The book also includes a chapter on standards, citing work on British and European standards.
