Motivations for these research and development projects are strongly focused on nuclear power plant inspections (particularly liquid-sodium cooled reactors), and nondestructive testing of high-temperature piping installations. It is anticipated that extensive use of permanently mounted robust transducers for in-service monitoring of petrochemical plants and power generations stations; quality control in manufacturing plants; and primary and secondary process monitoring in the fabrication of engineering materials will soon be made.History of engineering and technologybicsscdry couplingelevated temperatureEMAT sensorFBRfield-deployable sensorgallium phosphateguided waveguided-wave send-receiveharsh environmenthigh temperaturehigh-temperature monitoringhigh-temperature ultrasonic testingimagingin-service inspectioninspectionISI&ampL-wavesliquid sodiumlithium niobateNDENDE (Non Destructive Evaluation)NDTNDT (Non Destructive Testing)neutron irradiationnon-destructive evaluationnondestructive testingnuclear power plantsPhased Arraypiezocompositespiezoelectricpiezoelectric wafer active sensorPMN-PTpressurized water reactor fuel rodsRradiationradiation resistancereactorSFRsodiumspray-on transducersstructural health monitoringthickness shearTUCSSultrasonicultrasonic transducerultrasoundHistory of engineering and technologySinclair Anthony Nauth1302113Malkin RobauthBOOK9910404083303321Sensors for Ultrasonic NDT in Harsh Environments3026129UNINA
