Preface

Although the Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Program at NBS was not

established as a formal entity until 1975, this compilation of publications for the period 1972-1977 is ample evidence that the Bureau has

been involved in NDE work for many years. In fact, NBS can take credit

for some significant early accomplishments in NDE.

The Bureau's work on the radiographic detection of flaws in aluminum

and steel dates back to the closing years of World War I [1]^. In the

1920s, Major William Hoke of the Army discovered the magnetic particle

test method while working at NBS [2]. A decade later, NBS scientist

Abner Brenner developed the Magnegage, a device for making rapid non- destructive measurements of metal coatings [3]. This instrument, which

was an application of an earlier development by Raymond L. Sanford [4],

found extensive use in World War II for measuring the thickness of chromium in the lands and grooves of large caliber guns, and is still in use today.

Present NBS work to establish electrical conductivity standards,

for the accurate sorting and identification of alloys, traces back to

a number of early NBS resistance standards, perhaps the first of which

was developed by J. L. Thomas in 1930 [5]. Similarly, a new NBS effort

to develop improved measurement methods and standards for residual stress

has its roots in the spiral contractometer created by Brenner and Senderoff in 1949 [6], and in the first ultrasonic velocimeter, developed

by Greenspan and Tschiegg in 1957 [7]. The entire field of ultrasonic

NDE, in fact, received a tremendous boost when Jaffe, Roth and Marzullo

invented the highly sensitive transducer material PZT in 1954 [8].

The rapid growth in NBS publications in NDE in recent years attests

to the stimulating effect that the NDE Program has had on NBS contributions in this area. However, the nature of NDE is so inherently interdisciplinary that even today there is a considerable volume of valuable

work on NDE that is performed at the Bureau under other programs. In

this bibliography we have attempted to compile the NDE publications from

all NBS programs in the hope that this consolidated reference source

will be helpful to NDE researchers and users in government, industry

and the academic community.

It is our present intention to supplement this listing annually.

To this end we would welcome your comments and suggestions for improving

the format. If we have inadvertently omitted something, or cited some- thing incorrectly, let us know; we'll make amends in the first supplement.

1. Introduction

This report presents a bibliography of NBS publications on non- destructive evaluation that appeared in the open literature in the

years 1972 through 1977. Almost all of these publications were authored

by members of the NBS staff and include papers published in non-NBS

media as well as papers and reports from the NBS publications series.

A few of the publications cited were written for NBS media by non-NBS

authors.

These publications address a wide variety of NDE methods, both

those that are widely used in industry and some that are relatively

new. For completeness, publications dealing with technologies that

directly support NDE, such as densitometry and piezoelectricity, have

been included.

The 211 entries in the bibliography are listed in alphabetical order

by the surname of the first author in Section 2 of this report. The

last four entries. Nos. 208 through 211, are an exception; these were

found too late to be included in the alphabetical sequence. With this

exception, all of the entries attributed to each first author are listed

chronologically. This enables the reader to follow each such author's

work in a reasonably logical sequence.

Section 3 of this report is a subject index for the publications

listed. This index is quite comprehensive and, when used together with

the alphabetical bibliography, may be expected to enable readers to

locate those publications of interest to them without much difficulty.

The last section of this report provides some assistance to readers

wishing to obtain copies of specific publications listed.

PERKHNCAIS

JOURNAL OF RESEARCH—The Journal of Raearch

of the National Bureau of Standards reports NBS research and development in those disciplines of the physical and

engineering sciences in which the Bureau is active. These

include physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and

computer sciences. Papers cover a broad range of subjects, with major emphasis on measurement methodology, and

the basic technology underlying standardization. Also in* eluded from time to time are survey articles on topics closely

related to the Bureau's technical and scientific programs. As

a special service to subscribers each issue contains complete

citations to all recent NBS publications in NBS and non* NBS media. Issued six times a year. Annual subscription: domestic $17.00; foreign $21.25. Single copy, $3.00 domestic:

$3.75 foreign. Note: The Journal was formerly published in two sections: Section A "Physics and Chemistry" and Section B “Mathe*

matical Sciences.” DIMENSIONS/NBS
