Center for Nondestructive Evaluation at Iowa State University The Center for NDE (CNDE) focuses on the research and development of new theories and techniques for use in quantitative NDE. As is well known, NDE involves use of various non-invasive measurement techniques to determine the integrity of a structure, component, or material without destroying the usefulness of the item. The Center has three principal objectives:To perform industrially relevant research. To enhance the number of students in NDE and to cooperate with academic units of the University in NDE curriculum development and interactions with community colleges. To provide a national focal point for technology transfer to industry. All major NDE techniques are in use in the Center and include ultrasonics, electromagnetic methods, penetrating radiation (x-ray and neutrons), thermal techniques, magnetic techniques, and penetrant inspection. CNDE uses quantitative approaches to develop nondestructive evaluation as an engineering tool that is applicable throughout the life cycle of a component. NDE problems associated with transportation (automotive, aerospace), energy, and manufacturing have been central to the Center"s activities; these have expanded to include infrastructure and initial entries into animal science and agribusiness. |
