Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE) provides an important method for assessing the condition of objects by observing the electromagnetic response to electric currents and/or magnetic fields introduced within them. Because it does not permanently alter the objects being tested, it is an invaluable tool for product evaluation, troubleshooting and research, and is employed in many fields from engineering and medicine to art. This volume presents selected papers from the International Workshop on Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE2016), held in Lisbon, Portugal, in September 2016. This 21st edition of the workshop focused on the theoretical and application research into methods of electromagnetic non-destructive evaluation and, like previous editions, provided a forum for exchanging ideas and discussing recent developments. The book is divided into 6 sections which cover advanced ENDE sensors; material characterization; new developments; analytical and numerical modeling; inverse problems; signal processing; monitoring and diagnosis of mechanical structures; and innovative industrial applications of ENDE. Providing an overview of recent research and developments in the field, the book will be of interest to all those involved in ENDE research or applying it in their work.

THE BEST AMERICAN ESSAYS, Seventh College Edition, presents highly regarded contemporary authors at their best.

Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE) is a technique crucial to a great many engineering activities, as well as to environmental evaluation and protection issues. It is a discipline recognized for its theoretical insight, efficient models and simulations, robust data interpretation, and accurate instrumentation. This book presents contributions from the 22nd ENDE International Workshop, held in Saclay, France, in September 2017. It includes 1 of the 3 keynotes and 34 peer-reviewed and extended versions of the 47 oral contributions delivered during the workshop. Topics covered include static to THz electromagnetic; smart models and high-performance computations; advanced sensors; adaptive databases; model selection and the qualification of uncertainty; multi-sensor data fusion; the monitoring and diagnosis of mechanical structures; and innovative industrial applications. The book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the development or use of electromagnetic non-destructive evaluation.

Electromagnetic Non-destructive Evaluation (ENDE) is an invaluable, non-invasive diagnostic tool for the inspection, testing, evaluation and characterization of materials and structures. It has now become indispensible in a number of diverse fields ranging from biomedics to many branches of industry and engineering. This book presents the proceedings of the 24th International Workshop on Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation, held in Chengdu, China from 11 - 14 September 2019. The 38 peer-reviewed and extended contributions included here were selected from 45 original submissions, and are divided into 7 sections: eddy current testing and evaluation; advanced sensors; analytical and numerical modeling; material characterization; inverse problem and signal processing; artificial intelligence in ENDE; and industrial applications of ENDE. The papers cover recent studies concerning the progress and application of electromagnetic (EM) fields in the non-destructive examination of materials and structures, and topics covered include evaluations at a micro-structural level, such as correlating the magnetic properties of a material with its grain structure, and a macroscopic level, such as techniques and applications for EM NDT&E. Recent developments and emerging materials such as advanced EM sensors, multi-physics NDT&E, intelligent data management and maintaining the integrity of structures are also explored. The book provides a current overview of developments in ENDE, and will be of interest to all those working in the field.

Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE) is a technique crucial to a great many engineering activities, as well as to environmental evaluation and protection work. As a discipline, it is recognized for its theoretical insight, efficient models and simulations, robust data interpretation, and accurate instrumentation. This book presents the proceedings of ENDE2022, the 25th International Workshop on Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation, which, due to ongoing pandemic travel restrictions, took place as a virtual event organized in Budapest, Hungary, from 13 to 15 June 2022. ENDE2022 was the first online event so far held as part of the workshop series, and its mission was to ensure the continuity of the ENDE series during a difficult time, and to provide the scientific community with an opportunity to share recent results related to electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation. A total of 26 contributions from 10 different countries were accepted for presentation at the workshop. Short versions of all presented papers were published electronically in the digest of the workshop, and the 11 full papers accepted after thorough peer-review are published here. Providing an overview of the latest developments in the field, the book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the use of electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation.

The use of electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation has grown significantly in recent years. This valuable technique enables the assessment of objects by observing the electromagnetic response to electric currents and/or magnetic fields introduced within them. This book presents the proceedings of the 23rd International Workshop on Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE2018), held in Detroit, Michigan, USA, from 9 - 13 September 2018. The workshop provides an international forum for the exchange of information on state-of-the-art technologies and development in electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation, and the 19 papers presented here cover topics including sensors; modeling; signal processing; inverse problems; materials state awareness and characterization; damage diagnosis and prognosis; biomedical applications; and innovative industrial applications of eNDE. Providing a comprehensive overview of current theoretical and applied research into electromagnetic nondestructive evaluation (eNDE) methods, the book will be of interest to all those whose work involves the non-destructive evaluation of objects, whatever their field.

Since the first Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (ENDE) workshop was held in London 1995, the workshops have contributed to the technical advance in ECT through competition and collaboration. This title focuses on 'Eddy Current Testing' (ECT) to identify cracks in metals and alloys.
