Theory and Practice of Non Destructive Testing

Indian Institute of Technology Madras and NPTEL via Swayam

Overview

Nondestructive Testing (NDT) plays an extremely important role in quality control, flaw detection and structural health monitoring covering a wide range of industries. There are varieties of NDT techniques in use. This course will first cover the fundamental science behind the commonly used NDT methods to build the basic understanding on the underlying principles. It will then go on to cover the process details of each of these NDT methods.INTENDED AUDIENCE : Students, Researchers, Practicing EngineersPREREQUISITES : BE/Diploma in Engineering (Mech/Manufac/Production/Civil/Aerospace/App. Mech/Material Engg)INDUSTRY SUPPORT : Manufacturing and Automotive Industries

    This course give me a detailed view and got a theorctical view about the Ndt methods.
    there are mainly six type of NdT METHODS and this class help to get a practical idea also
