  • The objective of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) is to employ methodologies that facilitate the assessment of the structural integrity or material condition without causing any degradation, whether it's during manufacturing, usage, or preservation and maintenance procedures.
  • Changes in material stiffness within a structure can result in alterations to the natural frequencies of its vibrational modes and may impact its damping properties.
  • The purpose of this webinar is to examine key methods and techniques utilized in NDT for building materials, specifically focusing on the use of vibrations and sound as diagnostic tools for material assessment.
