Uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) of an intact rock is an important geotechnical parameter for engineering applications. Using standard laboratory tests to determine UCS is a difficult, expensive and time-consuming task. ...

Among different nondestructive magnetic methods, barkhausen noise is a new one in evaluation of metallurgical and mechanical properties of ferromagnetic materials such as grain size, hardness and microstructure assessment ...

Capability of Barkhausen noise (BN) technique in evaluation of spheroidizing process and determination of the consequent machining properties were investigated. Samples with different degrees of spheroidization were produced ...

stage of welding procedure. One of the main categories of the defects is surface cracks, which are found by nondestructive testing methods. However, visible liquid

penetrant as a technique to reveal this kind of flaws is broadly used, the method...

Eddy current and Barkhausen noise nondestructive testing techniques were considered to evaluate the magnetic properties of the decarburised steels as a function of microstructure. To make changes

in decarburising depth, carbon steel samples...

of the components. Since each nondestructive testing technique has its own limitations in defect detection, evaluating the detection properties of such techniques would be key for the inspectors of welded structures to possess a more proper technique selection...

Inspection and quality control of induction hardened parts require a good understanding of the depth of the hardened layer. Traditional destructive methods to determine the case depth are considered to be costly and ...
