This volume consists of the keynote address and the first 116 papers presented at the annual Review of Progress in Quantitative Nondestructive Evaluation conference. The first chapter includes papers which discuss generic techniques and fundamentals in ultrasonic, eddy current, thermal wave, acoustic emission, x-ray, computerized tomographic, NMR and other nondestructive testing methods. Papers included in the second chapter describe imaging,microscopy, inversion and reconstruction techniques, while those in the third chapter investigate various ultrasonic and electromagnetic sensors and probes. Chapter 4 discusses image analysis, signal processing and artificial intelligence applications to NDE. Chapter 5 presents various NDE systems and approaches for determining their reliability. Evaluation of aircraft and reactor components are among the applications discussed. A companion volume--Volume 6B--contains the remaining half of the conference proceedings.
