Division 8.4

Acoustical and Electromagnetic Methods

The divisions' competence centers around a combination of development, validation and application of sophisticated nondestructive testing methods for early identification of defects or damage using acoustical and electromagnetical methods..

Working areas

Non-destructive testing (NDT) employing ultrasound, eddy current and termography techniques mainly for safety relevant applications e.g. in transport and taking into consideration material and geometric factors
Development of algorithms and sensors for evaluation and illustration of NDT results

Ultrasound wheel disc inspection (enlarged picture)

Ultrasound and eddy current transducers custom built for specific applications
Fundamental principles employed for standardization of ultrasound, eddy current and thermography techniques
Characterization of ultrasound and eddy current transducers
Production and evaluation of reference defects for NDT analysis
Measurement and analysis of material properties using ultrasound and thermography
energy sources for active thermography

Working groups
