Begun in 1973, the Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation (QNDE) is the premier international NDE meeting designed to provide an interface between research and early engineering through the presentation of current ideas and results focused on facilitating a rapid transfer to engineering development.
This site provides free, public access to papers presented at the annual QNDE conference between 1983 and 1999, and abstracts for papers presented at the conference since 2001.

Abstract
The paper compares performance of conventional, pulsed, eddy current technology [1] to performance of superconductive technology [2], for identifying cracks at rivet holes in a multilayer joint. It compares area of the smallest crack detectable by a conventional, reflection type probe with that detectable by a superconductive, reflection type probe. The smallest crack detectable depends on noise resolution and radius of the pickup loop. A superconductive probe presently can detect a crack at a rivet hole that is two to three times smaller than the smallest crack detectable by a conventional probe.
