Nondestructive testing of solid material using ultrasonic waves, for defects such as cavities, nonbonding, and strength variations, is treated in this book from the physical fundamentals of ultrasonics and materials up to the most sophisticated methods. The book is written at a level which should make it accessible to readers with some knowledge of technical mathematics. Physical laws are explained in elementary terms, and more sophisticated treatments are also indicated. After the fundamentals, instrumentation and its application is extensively reported. Tricks and observations from thirty years of experience in the field are included. The third part of the book presents test problems related to special materials or ranges of modern heavy industry, including recent applications such as those in nuclear power plants. This fourth edition features improved presentation of certain fundamental physical facts, updated reports on electronic instrumentation, and new applications in the nuclear and space industries.

5.0 out of 5 stars
THE reference textbook on Ultrasonic NDT.,
By
This review is from: Ultrasonic Testing of Materials (Hardcover)
Krautkramer are well established NDT equipment manufacturers and one would expect this book to cover pretty much all aspects of the science. Fact is, this book is a lot more, it is The NDT Bible. The English 4th edition is based on the 5th German edition published in 1986. Updated reports on electronic instrumentation is included over previous editions including new applications in nuclear and space industries.
Contents: Part-A/Physical Principles of ultrasonic testing of materials: 1. Ultrasonic waves in free space, 2. Plane sound waves at boundaries, 3. Geometrical acoustics, 4. Wave physics of the sound field, 5. Echo from and Shadow of an obstacle in the sound field, 6. Attenuation of ultrasonic waves in solids, 7. Piezo-electric methods of generation and reception of ultrasonic waves, 8. Other methods for transmitting and receiving ultrasound, Part-B/Methods and instruments used for the ultrasonic testing of materials: 9. Historical survey of developments, 10. The pulse-echo method; design and performance of a pulse-echo flaw detector, 11. Transit-time methods, 12.The Shahow-method, 13. Imaging and methods of reconstruction, 14. Sound emission analysis (SEA), Part-C/General Testing Technique: 15. Coupling, 16. Interference effects of boundaries, complex sound paths and screen patterns, 17. Testing with ultrasonic waves radiated obliquely to the surface, 18. interference from external high-frequency and ultrasonic sources, 19. Detection and classification of defects, 20. Organization of testing; staff and training problems, 21. Testing installations and evaluation of test results, Part-D/Special Test Problems: 22. Workpieces for general mechanical construction, 23. Railway engineering items, 24. Plate and strip, 25. semi-finished products rod, bar, billet and wire, 26. Pipes, tubes and cylinders, 27. Castings, 28. Welded-joints, 29. Testing of other types of joint and compound structures, 30. Nuclear Power-Plants, 31. Metallic materials and their specific problems for ultrasonic testing 32. Testing problems of non-metallic specimens, 33. Utrasonic testing by determination of material properties, 34. Standards. "Accessible to readers with some knowledge of technical mathematics presenting tricks and observations from 30 years field experience", the book is appendixed with a splendid reference of books, publications, (1752 in total!!) and supplemental references (another 191!!!) plus handy formulae for reflection and transmission coefficients. Cornerstone publication for engineering disciplines as Mechanical, Marine, Civil, or even Food Engineers (I never thought UTM could be used even on measuring fat on livestock animals!!).
