Virtual and physical testing of 3rd-Generation High Strength Steel

Beryllium, the new miracle material of the aerospace industry, has presented problems for nondestructive testing. Eddy current and penetrant encounter no particle difficulties, except those inherent in the tests themselves. ...Eddy current and penetrant encounter no particle difficulties, except those inherent in the tests themselves. But, radiography and ultrasonics have encountered problems because beryllium is nearly transparent to X-ray, and the velocity of sound in beryllium is extremely high. ...The new improved nondestructive techniques and equipment are all capable of meeting the standards of production.

The results of typical nondestructive test applications in metals, plastics, ceramics and composites are presented....The instrument permits real-time imaging of test objects as they are moved through the ultrasonic field of view. Advantages of the instrument are discussed.

New developments in nondestructive testing for turbojet engines and aircraft are illustrated and current problem areas are outlined.

This paper discusses nondestructive testing (NDT) methods and techniques for detection of material and manufacturing anomalies in state-of-the-art graphite composites. ...Reference standards are fabricated with built-in discontinuities, commensurate with each structural article fabricated. The test specimens and parts were tested by various methods in order to determine optimum discontinuity detection. ...The test specimens and parts were tested by various methods in order to determine optimum discontinuity detection. Tests were conducted on research and development graphite composite aircraft structures consisting of (1) molded graphite flap ribs, (2) graphite composite flap assembly, and (3) graphite composite horizontal stabilizer assembly.

Therefore, a set of advanced non-destructive testing techniques is applied and adapted to the characterization of CFRP bonded structures as well as the state of adherend surfaces before bonding within the ENCOMB-project. ...As a medium-scale European Consortium funded within the 7th Framework Programme, ENCOMB (Extended Non-Destructive Testing of Composite Bonds) brings together leading experts in aeronautics research and development providing advanced non-destructive testing methods for reliable quality assurance of adhesive bonds of CFRP structural components. ...As a medium-scale European Consortium funded within the 7th Framework Programme, ENCOMB (Extended Non-Destructive Testing of Composite Bonds) brings together leading experts in aeronautics research and development providing advanced non-destructive testing methods for reliable quality assurance of adhesive bonds of CFRP structural components.

A television X-ray image enlargement system capable of directly detecting images developed by penetrating radiations is serving as an inspection tool for nondestructive testing. This system provides instantaneous X-ray images having 30X enlargement on a television screen.

Nodestructive testing plays a very vital role in these maintenance programs by permitting critical areas to be monitored with relatively minor open-up to permit access to perform the inspections.

And the nondestructive testing (NDT) technology and inspection methods will need to be sufficiently capable and reliable to ensure that discontinuities will be detected to prevent the components from being accepted for use.
