Abstract

Several emerging technologies affording new opportunities for the nondestructive evaluation of aging aircraft structures. Among these technologies are ultrasonic attenuation detection of fatigue and corrosion damage; non-contact ultrasound including laser-laser, laser-EMAT, laser-air, and air-air; laser based acoustic emission source identification; full-field double-pulse holographic imaging; non-linear assessment of adhesive bond quality; x-ray diffraction topographic imaging of the quality of nickel based alloy single crystal turbine blades.
