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
Abstract In all advanced methods of nondestructive evaluation (NDE), emphasis is now placed on characterizing cracks and flaws in terms of their fracture mechanics parameters. The aim is to quantitatively predict fatigue and/or flaw life, rather than simply detect flaw presence. Eddy current (EC) testing now is beginning to move to a level of confidence when flaws not only can be detected, but fully characterized. This is due to more innovative probe design and higher sophistication in the interpretation of quantitative probe data.
