Non-destructive testing techniques are widely applied in industry for the evaluation of
quantities of interest without inflicting additional damage accumulation. Crack detection and …

The accurate detection and evaluation of creep damage in structural steel is essential for
ensuring the safety and reliability of high-temperature structures. In this work, the in situ …

Failures of welded main steam pipes in power station plants are related to cracks forming
and propagating in the fine-grained zone, so called heat-affected zone (HAZ). Experience …

One of the consequences of the 475° C embrittlement of duplex stainless steels is the
reduction of the resistance to localized corrosion. Therefore, the detection of this type of …

In the oil, gas, and thermal power plant industries, it is highly desirable to assess the integrity
of components manufactured with duplex stainless steel (DSS) while in service. One …

Over the past 4 years of this ICASE PhD, there has been significant developments in the
application of using QWHE sensors for NDT&E applications. This thesis outlines the journey …

The minor deformation in a material is an important factor which influences the failure of
component. Monitoring the deformation accurately is the basis for rationally evaluating the …

In many engineering situations, the unavoidable occurrence of cracks compromises the
integrity of the structural components and poses a threat to safety. Reliable identification of …

It is now apparent that welds in many of the creep strength enhanced ferritic (CSEF) steel
grades are susceptible to Type IV creep damage. Furthermore, due to the complex nature of …
