Abstract

ABSTRACT
In this paper, a summary of some of the NDT methods that can be used for the
evaluation of material properties such as stiffness, strength, residual stress, plastic
deformation, creep damage, fatigue damage, etc. will be addressed. NDT methods
includes ultrasonics, electromagnetics, and thermal. In some applications, the NDT
methods provides a direct measurement of the required property, while in others, the
correlation is indirect.
