Industry/University Center for Nondestructive Evaluation

无损评估(NDE)对工业非常重要，因为它是确保安全、产品质量和公司形象的一种手段。爱荷华州立大学成立了一个工业/大学联合无损评估研究中心。最初的无损检测项目研究如下领域：计算机辅助无损检测、电磁缺陷尺寸测定、开发基于模型的复杂几何形状的超声波无损检测系统设计技术、开发用于缺陷检测和表征的涡流模型、X射线图像处理、减少图像存储和提高处理速度、用于铁磁钢无损检测的磁检测方法、热波材料分析、用于确定铝锂合金的热历史和机械性能、复合材料中缺陷的影响、复合材料中缺陷的检测和表征、织构的超声波测量和超声波标准的非破坏性方法。

Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) is important to industry since it is a means to assure safety, product quality, and a company's image. An Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Nondestructive Evaluation is initiated at Iowa State University. The initial Nondestructive Evaluation projects are researching the following areas: computer-aided NDE, electromagnetic flaw sizing, development of a model-based ultrasonic NDE system design technology for complex geometries, development of eddy current models for flaw detection and characterization, x-ray image processing, reducing storage of images and increasing processing speed, magnetic inspection methods for nondestructive evaluation of ferromagnetic steels, thermal-wave materials analysis, nondestructive methods for the determination of the thermal history and mechanical properties of aluminum-lithium alloys, effects of defects in composites, detection and characterization of defects in composites, ultrasonic measurement of texture, and ultrasonic standards.
