A good choice (2010-02-06)
I have been working with nondestructive evaluation since 2007 in the biggest petroil company of Brazil. I also work with the teaching of these techniques and I'm always looking for good quality material to improve my classes.
This book was certainly a great investment. Written with clear language, the authors made a good blend of basic and advanced information regarding to the most used nondestructive tests.
Nondestructive Evaluation 101 and why I like it so much! (2002-06-26)
It takes a village to raze a barn, and Mr. Shull proves it! I've be destroying things for the majority of my life and Mr. Shulls' techniques have been invaluable. I almost broke my keyboard while typing this review. Luckily his book is holding up half my computer table. The lush illustrations remind me of a warm, wet forest caught between two antlers. I couldn't remember. This story provides the impetus for supplying every 4-year old with razor/hammer/screwdrivers for building a special place beyond the magic world of the abandoned refrigerator. Aboriginally speaking, Nondestructive Evaluation: Theory, Techniques, and Applications is worth every penny of... (what) it costs.

Perform Accurate, Cost-Effective Product Testing
Nondestructive testing has become the leading product testing standard, and Handbook of Non-Destructive Evaluations by Chuck Hellier is the unparalleled one-stop, A-to-Z guide to this subject. Covering the background, benefits, limitations, and applications of each, this decision-simplifying resource looks at both the major and emerging nondestructive evaluation methods, including: visual testing penetrant testing magnetic particle testing radiographic testing Ultrasonic testing eddy current testing thermal infrared testing and acoustic emission testing. In clear, understandable terms, the Handbook shows you how to interpret results and formulate the right decisions based on them, making it a welcome resource for engineers, metallurgists, quality control specialists, and anyone else involved in product design, manufacture, or maintenance. The Handbook is also the ideal prep tool if you're seeking certification in AWS/CSWIP, ASNT Level III, ACCP, and IRRSP programs. If you're looking for a one-stop answer to all your nondestructive testing questions, your search ends here.

The best one yet! (2001-10-09)
Chuck Hellier has succeeded (with lots of help from other authors, I might add) in presenting the first updated handbook covering most all presently used methods of nondestructive testing (NDT). In one volume, he covers personnel certification issues and programs, discontinuities and their formation in metals, VT, PT, MT, RT, UT, ET, IR, and AE. As a person responsible for NDT training in a large company, I heartily welcome this addition to the body of knowledge for NDT. There are other works that cover theory in more detail, i.e. the ASNT handbook series, but this is the best publication to date giving a good introduction to NDT for aspiring technicians, engineers who might use, specify, or recommend NDT, or others interested in the field.
The one area Chuck left out concerns ethics in NDT, which might necessitate an even larger volume, were he to address this with the same effort.

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) inspection schemes are important in design, manufacturing, and maintenance. By correctly applying techniques of NDE, we can reduce machine and system failures and increase reliability of operating systems over an extended lifetime. Nondestructive Evaluation: A Tool in Design, Manufacturing, and Service introduces and discusses primary techniques used in the field, including ultrasonics, acoustic emission, magnetics, radiography, penetrants, and eddy currents. Examples of each of these techniques are included, demonstrating typical applications. With the information in this book, NDE inspection schemes and results can be proposed and evaluated with confidence. Practicing engineers and scientists will find the material in Nondestructive Evaluation: A Tool in Design, Manufacturing, and Service useful, interesting, and easy to read. It's also a great textbook for senior undergraduate and first-year graduate courses that focus on calculus and engineering materials. The problems and suggested experiments make this the ideal teaching tool.

Missing Motivator (1999-03-01)
The work's field is nondestructive evaluation (NDE). NDE contains the instruments which engineers use to detect flaws in structures which function under mechanical stress.
The work starts off well enough. However,in Chapter 2 it ventures into one's motivation for using NDE. Here, the work founders.
Why would one use NDE? Because, the authors suggest, a sufficiently small false negative error probability reduces the inspected structure's probability of collapse.
However, to state the issue this way is to ignore one-half of the requirements of the user of any diagnostic instrument. The full requirement is for sufficiently small false positive and false negative error probabilities.
However, the reader who searches the literature of NDE for knowledge of the two probabilities will search in vein. This can be said with confidence, for a recent paper demonstrates that NDE violates an axiom of probability theory in relationship to the two probabilities (see "Erratic Measure" (in NDE in the Energy Industry 1995, pp. 1-6. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, New York, NY).

Ultrasonic wave techniques, used increasingly in areas ranging from nondestructive inspection of materials to medical diagnosis, evolved from basic physical principles of wave mechanics. This profusely illustrated text brings together basic physics and modern applications. Joseph Rose explains the physical principles of wave propagation and then relates them to ultrasonic wave mechanics and the more recent guided wave techniques used to inspect and evaluate aircraft, power plants, and pipelines in chemical processing plants. He stresses mechanics, mathematics, and modeling throughout the book, establishing the framework for practical applications. Among topics covered are wave propagation in plates, rods, hollow cylinders, and multiple layers in solid and composite materials; reflection and refraction; surface and subsurface waves; and horizontal shear wave propagation. Appendices provide background information on ultrasonic nondestructive testing, elasticity theory, complex variables, and key wave propagation experiments. The text is complemented by 344 illustrations, laboratory experiments, and 272 exercises.

This is a great book (2005-09-24)
Everyone engaged in the work of NDE should keep it.
Comprehensive Book of Ultrasonics for NDT (2004-03-04)
Dr. Rose has presented a text for students, engineers and reseachers that covers the wide ranging field of Ultrasonic waves in solid media. While those of us working in the field represent a fairly small set of practioners, anyone doing work in this industry beyond simple UT examination will find this book very helpful. It is most directed towards graduate students and researchers but it has a wealth of information for engineers and practicioners who want a higher level of understanding. You can gain as much as you wish from this book both in terms of mathematical theory as well as practical applied information. My only critique would be that there is a large body of work by Dr. R.B. Thompson regarding ultrasonic lamb waves that did not make it into the reference lists. Overall though, the book should become a standard for those working in this industry. It's list of references is fairly complete and useful.
