"A textbook to be used in a curriculum of advanced material engineering, with enough practical aspects covered to support associated laboratory sessions as well." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 25, No. 3, September 2001)

Theorie, instrumentelle Ausrustung, experimentelle Praxis und Anwendungen: Dieses Buch fuhrt Sie ein in die zerstorungsfreie Werkstoffprufung mit IR-Strahlung. Im Unterschied zu anderen Buchern, werden hier auch Eigenschaften von Materialien behandelt, z.T. anhand von Fallstudien aus der Industrie. Das Programm IRNDT (abrufbar vom Wiley-ftp-Server) enthalt eine Bilddatenbank, die Ihnen beim Durchspielen der besprochenen Beispiele hilft. Mit zahlreichen Ubungsaufgaben!
