About this book

Microwave testing has been paid only scant attention in the literature as a method for nondestructive testing of materials, yet it offers some attractive features, especially for the testing of composite and other non-metallic materials. Microwave techniques have been used in a large number of applications that can be classified as nondestructive testing applications, ranging from large scale remote sensing to detection of tumors in the body. This volume describes a unified approach to microwave nondestructive testing by presenting the three essential components of testing: theory, practice, and modelling. While recognizing that each of these subjects is wide enough to justify a volume of its own, the presentation of the three topics together shows that these are interrelated and should be practiced together. While few will argue against a good theoretical background, modelling and simulation of the testing environment is seldom part of the NDT training in any method, but particularly so in microwave testing. The text is devided in four parts. The first part presents the field theory background necessary for understanding the microwave domain. The second part treats microwave measurements as well as devices and sources and the third part discusses practical tests applicable to a variety of materials and geometries. The fourth part discusses modelling of microwave testing. Each chapter contains a bibliography intended to expand on the material given and, in particular, to point to subjects which could not be covered either as not appropriate or for lack of space. For engineers, applied physicsts, material scientists.

Fundamentals of Bidirectional Transmission over a Single Optical Fibre

M. Oskar Deventer

Bidirectional transmission over optical fibre networks may yield a large cost reduction because of the reduction of the network infrastructure by a factor two and the potential cost reduction by an integrated transceiver design. It may also provide a cost-effective way to upgrade distribution networks by adding bidirectional channels. This book is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of bidirectional transmission in optical networks. It handles physical aspects: the behaviour of the fibre itself in bidirectional transmission transmission aspects: the behaviour and design of bidirectional systems and network aspects: the influence of bidirectional transmission on network design. £/LIST£ Practical guidelines are also given for bidirectional system design. Audience:This book is aimed at designers, builders and operators of optical networks, e.g. the manufacturers of optical transmission systems, public-network operators, developers of local-area networks, cable-television operators, etcetera. The intended level of readership is graduate level in physics or electrical engineering.

Nondestructive Evaluation of Materials by Infrared Thermography

Xavier P. V. Maldague

This publication presents an up to date coverage of infrared thermography applied in the context of improved industrial activity and quality through automated inspection and control. It puts together concise and complete information on thermal non-destructive evaluation (NDE), a method for testing without damage, not yet available in an integrated, stand-alone format. All concepts discussed are explained in full and many industrial applications of the covered subjects are presented. Although the book is complete by itself extensive references to relevant research papers are given for further reading. Nondestructive Evaluation of Materials by Infrared Thermography is intended for a wide audience. It will help industrial engineers to implement nondestructive evaluation methods on the production line and enlarge their knowledge of industrial inspection techniques. It can also be used as a teaching aid at universities and colleges, especially in materials engineering curricula. Finally research centres will find it valuable as a reference book about thermal NDE.

Generalized Continua as Models for Materials

Holm Altenbach, Samuel Forest, Anton Krivtsov

This volume presents contributions describing the micro- and macro-behaviours, new existence and uniqueness theorems, the formulation of multi-scale problems, etc. and now it is time to ponder again the state of matter and to discuss new trends and applications. The main focus is directed on the following items - Modelling and simulation of materials with significant microstructure, - Generalized continua as a result of multi-scale models, - Multi-field actions on materials resulting in generalized material models, and - Comparison with discrete modelling approaches
