In Wire and Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) and fusion welding, various defects such as
porosity, cracks, deformation and lack of fusion can occur during the fabrication process …

Photomechanical ablation is a process by which absorption of a laser pulse in a target
creates mechanical stress that leads to material fracture and ejection. Steverding in an early …

Most books on ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) focus either on its theoretical
background or on advanced applications. Furthermore, information on the most current …

In this article, we present an overview of recent progress in non-contact remote optical
detection of ultrasound in application to nondestructive testing and evaluation of materials …

A broad overview of the field of laser‐ultrasonics is presented. This overview draws from
developments at the Industrial Materials Institute of the National Research Council of …

A new high-power electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) solid state pulser system
has been developed that is capable of driving up to 4 EMAT coils with programmable phase …

This book edited by Tribikram Kundu is an expanded and updated version of Ultrasonic
