In-Service Non-Destructive Evaluation of Fatigue and Fracture Properties for Ship Structure

摘要

The project requirements included carrying out an extensive literature review to seek out potential non-destructive evaluation (NDE) techniques that will aid in evaluating fatigue and fracture properties of ship structures, select promising techniques for further evaluation, develop experimental programs with different subcontractors to investigate the selected NDE techniques and perform an objective assessment of the capabilities of NDE techniques studied and make recommendations. The report details the literature review, and includes a brief introduction about different NDE techniques selected, the experimental program results, conclusions and recommendations. The detailed results and the final reports of the subcontractors are produced in their entirety in the Annexes.
