NDT&E International publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiology, optical and thermal methods, and signal and image processing. The journal publishes papers on new inspection techniques and methods, as well as those on innovative applications of established methods such as acoustics emission, etc. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control and descriptions of new NDE systems and their performance in industrial settings are also encouraged. Other regular features include international news, new equipment, a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings and a comprehensive survey of literature - NDT Abstracts. This journal is listed in Current Contents. This journal is now included in the new online alerting service - Structural Integrity Alert - which forms part of the Structural Integrity Network. To access SiNET just go to http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/sinet Related Conference The International Congress on Fracture is a series of meetings held every 4 years. The conference scope is sure to be of interest to readers of Engineering Fracture Mechanics, Theoretical and Applied Fracture Mechanics, International Journal of Fatigue, Engineering Failure Analysis, International Journal of Pressure Vessels and Piping, NDT&E, Journal of the Mechanics & Physics of Solids, International Journal of Solids & Structures, Mechanics of Materials and related mechanics/materials titles. All interested researchers in the mechanics and mechanisms of fracture, fatigue and strength of solids are invited to submit a paper to the next ICF and/or attend as a delegate.
