NDT & E International
Published by Elsevier. It publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of non-destructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. This includes the use of these techniques for periodic and long-term monitoring applications. The journal also publishes original papers on the research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods.
front cover for Nondestructive testing and evaluation

 

Nondestructive testing and evaluation
Published by T&F. Contains articles concerning both the investigation of physical processes and the development of mechanical processes as well as studies of conventional techniques, including radiography, ultrasound, eddy currents, magnetic properties and magnetic particle inspection, thermal imaging and dye penetrant.
front cover for Procedia structural integrity [Open Access]

 

Procedia structural integrity [Open Access]
Procedia Structural Integrity publishes conference proceedings organized by the European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS), by its Technical Committees or by the National Groups that are affiliated with ESIS, with an emphasis on all areas of Fracture, Fatigue and Structural Integrity.

Finding books in the library

You can view a map of the library showing roughly where a book is on the shelf, by using the "See map" link in the full record view:

A screen grab from the library catalogue showing the full record display for a book.  Highlighted is the "See map" link.

Once you click the link a new tab will open in your web browser showing the floor the book is on, and a red dot will flash showing you roughly where the book is.

How to read shelf mark numbers

The Library of Congress Classification System is used to organise the books on the shelf. This is a combination of letters and numbers that refer to specific subject areas.

Find a book using Library Search, or the Library Catalogue, and use its call number to find it on the shelf.
