Preparing the NDE engineers of the future: Education, training, and diversity
No full textAs quantitative NDE has matured and entered the mainstream, it has created an industry need for engineers who can select, evaluate, and qualify NDE techniques to satisfy quantitative engineering requirements. NDE as a field is cross-disciplinary with major NDE techniques relying on a broad spectrum of physics disciplines including fluid mechanics, electromagnetics, mechanical waves, and high energy physics. An NDE engineer needs broad and deep understanding of the measurement physics across modalities, a general engineering background, and familiarity with shop-floor practices and tools. While there are a wide range of certification and training programs worldwide for NDE technicians, there are few programs aimed at engineers. At the same time, substantial demographic shifts are underway with many experienced NDE engineers and technicians nearing retirement, and with new generations coming from much more diverse backgrounds. There is a need for more and better education opportunities for NDE engineers. Both teaching and learning NDE engineering are inherently challenging because of the breadth and depth of knowledge required. At the same time, sustaining the field in a more diverse era will require broadening participation of previously underrepresented groups. The QNDE 2016 conference in Atlanta, GA included a session on NDE education, training, and diversity. This paper summarizes the outcomes and discussion from this session.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only. Any other use requires prior permission of the author and AIP Publishing.

Letter from Stephen H. Holland & G.G. White to James B. Finley
No full textHolland explains to Finley [Presiding Elder of the Lebanon District] that he is too ill to continue serving the Oxford appointment. He wants to go home until he regains his strength and hopes Finley will agree with him. Holland suggests that Brothers Conrey and Irvine take his place. White adds his request to Holland\u27s -- that the latter be released to regain his health. Abstract Number - 180https://digitalcommons.owu.edu/finley-letters/1178/thumbnail.jp
Boeren met water, waterberging in combinatie met landbouw
No full textHet project Boeren met Water is een onderzoeksproject in opdracht van de provincie Noord-Holland, de Noord-Hollandse waterbeheerders en Habiforum. Het is een van de vier projecten van het onderzoeksprogramma Meervoudig Ruimtegebruik met Waterberging in Noord-Holland. Boeren met Water verkent de mogelijkheden om waterberging te combineren met agrarische bedrijfsvoering. Het is een toekomstgerichte studie die invulling geeft aan de wateropgaven die in de nota Waterbeleid voor de 21e eeuw worden geformuleerd. De studie is tot stand gekomen in nauwe samenwerking met een studiegroep van agrarisch ondernemers uit de Zeevang en de Beemster. Samen met de betrokken waterbeheerders hebben zij bijgedragen aan het ontwikkelen van nieuwe kennis ten aanzien van meervoudig ruimtegebruik. Het project is uitgevoerd door het Centrum voor Landbouw en Milieu.KWP-collectio
Visie Noord-Hollandse kust: Intern afwegingskader en inbreng voor de regionale kustdiscussie
No full textDe kust is in beweging, zowel letterlijk als figuurlijk. Letterlijk door eb en vloed, zeespiegelstijging, kustafslag en het ontstaan van strandvlakten. Figuurlijk door de discussies over plannen voor natuurontwikkeling, bebouwing en jaarronde exploitatie van strandpaviljoens. Hoe met deze bewegingen het best kan worden omgegaan, moet worden vastgelegd in beleid: internationaal, nationaal, regionaal en lokaal. Hierbij zijn vele partijen betrokken, zowel overheden als bewoners, recreanten, ondernemers en natuurbeschermers. Voor u ligt de Visie Noord-Hollandse kust van een van de betrokken partijen, de directie Noord-Holland van de Rijkswaterstaat. Deze visie is het resultaat van een analyse waarbij, op basis van de rollen en taken van de directie, de bestaande kustsituatie en de te verwachten en mogelijke ontwikkelingen daarin naast elkaar zijn gezet. Deze analyse heeft geleid tot een mogelijke toekomstige zonering van de Noord-Hollandse kust, op basis van een viertal gekozen kusttypen. De visie is bedoeld als basis voor de bijdrage van de directie in de regionale en landelijke discussies over het kustbeleid en kan hierna door de directie Noord-Holland worden gebruikt als richtsnoer, aanvullend op het vastgestelde beleid, voor het beoordelen van besluiten, plannen en beleidsnota's van anderen (overheden en niet-overheden). Het is zeker niet de bedoeling om met deze visie een blauwdruk voor ontwikkelingen in de Noord-Hollandse kustzone neer te leggen. Wel hopen we hiermee een impuls te geven aan de dialoog met alien die zich betrokken voelen bij het kustbeleid
Evaluation of the fidelity of feature descriptor-based specimen tracking for automatic NDE data integration
No full textThis research addresses inspection location tracking in the field of nondestructive evaluation (NDE) using a computer vision technique to determine the position and orientation of typical NDE equipment in a test setup. The objective is the tracking accuracy for typical NDE equipment to facilitate automatic NDE data integration. Since the employed tracking technique relies on surface curvatures of an object of interest, the accuracy can be only experimentally determined. We work with flash-thermography and conducted an experiment in which we tracked a specimen and a thermography flash hood, measured the spatial relation between both, and used the relation as input to map thermography data onto a 3D model of the specimen. The results indicate an appropriate accuracy, however, unveiled calibration challenges.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only.

GPU-accelerated depth map generation for X-ray simulations of complex CAD geometries
No full textInteractive x-ray simulations of complex computer-aided design (CAD) models can provide valuable insights for better interpretation of the defect signatures such as porosity from x-ray CT images. Generating the depth map along a particular direction for the given CAD geometry is the most compute-intensive step in x-ray simulations. We have developed a GPU-accelerated method for real-time generation of depth maps of complex CAD geometries. We preprocess complex components designed using commercial CAD systems using a custom CAD module and convert them into a fine user-defined surface tessellation. Our CAD module can be used by different simulators as well as handle complex geometries, including those that arise from complex castings and composite structures. We then make use of a parallel algorithm that runs on a graphics processing unit (GPU) to convert the finely-tessellated CAD model to a voxelized representation. The voxelized representation can enable heterogeneous modeling of the volume enclosed by the CAD model by assigning heterogeneous material properties in specific regions. The depth maps are generated from this voxelized representation with the help of a GPU-accelerated ray-casting algorithm. The GPU-accelerated ray-casting method enables interactive (> 60 frames-per-second) generation of the depth maps of complex CAD geometries. This enables arbitrarily rotation and slicing of the CAD model, leading to better interpretation of the x-ray images by the user. In addition, the depth maps can be used to aid directly in CT reconstruction algorithms.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only.
