Abstract

Abstract

NDT integrity engineering combines materials science with fracture mechanics to engineer a non-destructive evaluation process that would guarantee safety and reliability, or integrity, of engineering structures and components. It is primarily focussing on non destructive testing / evaluation methods. Its knowledge basis encompasses all disciplines which contribute to establish any integrity related decision. Core knowledge includes the physical bases of the major NDT methods; the current tendency to provide early detection of materials degradation; the structural health monitoring; the impact of the development of information technology and microelectronics on NDT; globalization of NDT; and many other issues. The knowledge should cover also the awareness of the physical fields arising in the component during operation, including the basics of analytical and numerical methods of their calculations. From these operation and accident loading, stress / strain status, stress intensity factor and other operational conditions can be calculated. The properties of structural materials, i.e. the „material’s response” to loading and environment, the ageing effects; the potential ageing processes such as embrittlement, loss of toughness, fatigue, corrosion, creep, wear and some more, and their effect on the component integrity.
