Definition of NDT
Webster defines nondestructive testing or non-destructive testing (NDT) as a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and technology industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage.[1] The terms nondestructive examination (NDE), nondestructive inspection (NDI), and nondestructive evaluation (NDE) are also commonly used to describe this technology.[2] Because NDT does not permanently alter the article being inspected, it is a highly valuable technique that can save both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research. The six most frequently used NDT methods are eddy-current, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, ultrasonic, and visual testing.[3] NDT is commonly used in forensic engineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, medicine, and art.[1] Innovations in the field
- f nondestructive testing have had a profound impact on medical imaging, including
- n echocardiography, medical ultrasonography, and digital radiography. With the
advent of machine learning, computer vision and data-driven techniques, nondestructive testing has been improved in different fields. [4] applied data-driven and machine learning techniques to predict damage state based solely on visual
