摘要

The present issue of the Int. Journal of Microstructure and Materials Properties comprises 16 extended papers presented at 12th International Conference of the Slovenian Society for Non-Destructive Testing titled Application of Contemporary Non-Destructive Testing in Engineering held in Portoroz on September 2013. The following papers have been included in this issue: Li et al. presented defect detection of thin shell shapes by ultrasonic transducer array. The ellipse localisation imaging algorithm was applied to identify the defect's orientation and localisation. Wavelet transform was used to obtain the defect's location parameters. A series of experiments for detecting the artificial defect in the specimen showed that the direction and location of defects can be detected effectively.
