CURRENT TRENDS IN DEVELOPMENT OF ACOUSTIC NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING METHODS IN AVIATION INDUSTRY (review)
The document includes the below main trends in development of acoustic non-destructive testing methods in aviation industry: automation and enhancement of the sensitivity the testing, development of Procedures for acoustic non-destructive testing methods for products in case of repair and use of products, probabilistic assessment of the outcomes of the ultrasonic non-destructive testing, mathematic simulation of the ultrasonic non-destructive testing, development of the ultrasonic non-destructive testing by applying state-of-the-art technologies, development of the low-frequency acoustic testing methods, development of a Procedure on training of specialists who conduct NDT. The experience of NRC «Kurchatov institute» – VIAM is pointed out to show an example on the implementation of main trends on ultrasonic testing development.
