Development of industry demands better performance of equipments and devices than ever. The property of material used to produce the equipments is the precondition to ensure the quality. As equipments are usually required to be integral during the quality inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT) plays an increasingly import role in modern industry quality control. Different NDT methods are introduced and analyzed. The mechanism of ultrasonic exciting is described. After the ultrasonic is excited, the vibration signal can be detected by transducer or optical method which are then illustrated. In the section of development of laser ultrasonic technology, contributions made by various researchers in theoretic development, experiment, simulation and application are introduced and the corresponding content of the researches as well. The conclusion and the outlook of laser ultrasonic technique is made at the last.

A comparative study of the mechanical properties of the extruded and flattened nanostructured composites Al-C60 has been made using two different methods of destructive and non-destructive testing: tensile and compression macro-tests and sub-micron range sclerometry (scratch test). Direct correlation was found between the dominant types of deformation during scratching and the type of “stress-strain” dependencies. The results are useful for understanding the extrusion process and quality control at different load scale.

AbstractIn this review paper, conventional non-destructive testing (NDT) methods are briefly introduced and compared with selected examples for applications of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for NDT. The contactless, non-destructive and purely optical method enables multi-dimensional imaging for tomographic real-time evaluation in various fields of application. Depending on the material, penetration depths of several millimeters can be achieved, thus providing an attractive solution that can be used both as a stand-alone and as a process-integrated solution.

In hard disk manufacturing, a process of quality inspection of magnetic disc is crucially focused on finding traces of scratch that occur on the surface by various sources such as production process, machinery, tribology or recording head. It may affect the efficiency of magnetic disc’s read/write ability. Many approaches have been proposed to detect the scratch by either destructive or non-destructive testing. In this study, it shows an analysis of signals from the detected scratches on the magnetic disc by reflection light method, using a CD pick-up head. It works by producing an incidental laser beam to the surface and then detecting it by a photodiode detector. The results showed that when the laser beam is incident onto the magnetic disc with/ without scratch, reflecting lights to the photodiode are different and the signal changes according to the intensity of the incidental/reflecting lights.

One of the main challenges of using laser ultrasonic techniques for non-destructive testing applications is the typically low signal-to-noise ratio of the laser ultrasonic signals. In the case of thick composite structures, this is even more problematic since composite materials have very strong sound attenuation. This article investigates the effects of laser beam size and profile to the amplitude of pulse-echo laser ultrasonic signals with the constraint that the peak energy density (fluence) must be kept constant under the thermal damage threshold of material like polymer matrix composites. Such constraint is very important for the non-destructive feature of non-destructive testing, yet in a number of the existing parameter studies of laser ultrasonics, it was not fully investigated. In this article, a series of A-scan and C-scan experiments on thick composite specimens shows that the amplitude of the direct waves and the reflected waves increases with the increase in laser beam size with constant peak energy density. This amplitude enhancement significantly improves the propagation depth, thereby optimizing the system for inspection of thick composite structures. The validity of experimental results is verified theoretically by solving the thermoelastic model of epicenter displacement using Laplace–Hankel transformation.

The elm wood samples were tested by the technique of ultrasonic, and the testing results were analyzed by using the statistic software of SPSS. The results showed that the moister content of wood, wood crack, the sizes of holes and numbers of holes have significant influence on propagation parameters and dynamic modulus of elasticity. If there are holes or cracks in the propagation path, the propagation time will be longer, and the propagation velocity and wood modulus will decrease accordingly. The studying results of this paper will provide a sound background for the application of ultrasonic technique in detecting the inner defects of wood products and other wooden structures, and also offer important reference for testing the inner defects of old trees and ancient buildings.
