Electromagnetic Nondestructive Evaluation (XX)

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.
