The authors of this book present and review data on non-destructive testing discussing such topics as: a novel non-contacting thermoelectric method for non-destructive detection of material imperfections in metals by magnetic sensing; laser generated ultrasound as a tool for defect detection combined with air-coupled receivers; the photothermal deflection technique; thermal diagnostic testing; and, acoustic microscopy.
