Summary:

Annotation The papers in this proceedings volume were reviewed by qualified scientists before acceptance. The Review of Progress in Quantitative NDE has established itself as the world's leading forum for the presentation of research and early engineering demonstrations in quantitative nondestructive evaluation. It is international in scope and broadly interdisciplinary in content covering recent developments in measuring techniques (ultrasonics, electromagnetics, x-rays, thermal, acoustic emission, etc.) and their applications to materials characterization and structural integrity.
