Applications of Non-destructive Testing Technologies in Materials or Engineering

Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-destructive testing (NDT) technology for materials has become a research hotspot in many fields, such as civil engineering, machinery engineering, aviation engineering, and marine engineering. NDT refers to the technique of testing materials through non-destructive means to diagnose whether there are defects or cracks in the material. NDT is significant for ensuring the safe operation of structures and includes various methods, such as machine vision, penetration, magnetic powder, eddy current, ultrasonic, X-ray, acoustic emission, infrared thermal imaging, static and dynamic testing, etc. NDT techniques have great potential for development in terms of detection accuracy and detection range, but NDT for large and complex structures is still immature and requires further in-depth research.
The purpose of this Topic is to introduce the theoretical and experimental research progress of various NDT technologies, as well as the application examples of NDT in fields such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, aviation engineering, and marine engineering. We sincerely invite all colleagues to contribute to this topic.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
- Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
- Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
- Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
- Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
- Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
