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
I don't mean to be presumptious and imply that we are going to cover all of the many factors which affect ultrasonic measurements of fatigue cracks, as suggested by the title, but we will attempt to go over some recent work we have been doing at the Materials Lab in this area. We'll be talking about fatigue cracks and what variables, both regarding the fatigue crack itself as an entity and the ultrasonic inspection process, have a significant effect on the results, that are obtained.
