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 as well as determination...

The present research investigates improvement of Eddy Current (EC) technique as a

nondestructive method for measurement of ductile cast iron microstructural and mechanical

characteristics. Six samples of heat treated ductile cast iron...

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 ...

. The quality control of aluminium alloy specimens is an important concern of engineers. Among different methods, non-destructive techniques are faster, cheaper and are able to be used for 100% of specimens. To assess the ability of eddy current as a non-destructive...

The objective of this study was to develop calibration models for prediction of moisture content and textural characteristics (fracture force, hardness, apparent modulus of elasticity and compressive energy) of pistachio ...

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...
