Non-Destructive Testing Techniques 1st Edition

0.0

This book, titled Nondestructive Testing Techniques meets the requirement for either full courses on Nondestructive Testing Techniques (e.g. BITS Course No. MST G511: Nondestructive Testing Techniques) or portion of the courses related to Nondestructive Testing Techniques of the courses on Materials Science and Technology/Materials Testing and Technology. These courses are offered in Institutions/Universities across the country and the book is quite useful for the same. Besides serving the primary purpose of providing a textbook on the subject of Nondestructive Testing Techniques, it would also provide a much-needed reference to various engineers and research-scientists that use Nondestructive Testing Techniques for inspection purposes or for material behaviour research studies. Persons working in the area of nondestructive testing in large fabrication industries, chemical and nuclear industries, aerospace industries, transportation including railways etc. would also find the book very useful. About The Author Ravi Prakash??is Dean of Research & Consultancy Division at Birla Institute of?? Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani. In 1971, after obtaining his B.Sc. (Mechanical Engineering) Hons. degree from the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, he proceeded abroad to obtain M.Sc. (Engineering Design) degree from the University of Salford, U. K. in 1973 and Ph.D. (Materials) degree from Cranfield University, U.K. in the year 1975. For his Ph.D., he worked in the area of Nondestructive Testing of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic Composites. Thereafter he returned to India and joined the Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University as a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering. He was soon promoted to the post of Reader in Mechanical Engineering and became full Professor in the year 1985 at an age of 34 years. During 20 years of service at Institute of?? Technology, BHU, he was deputed abroad a number of times. First, he was sent to the University of Bath, U.K. for post-doctoral research officer and then to Hartshill Medical Institute at Stoke-on-Trent, U.K. as a Visiting Professor of Biomedical Engineering under exchange of scientists scheme of the Royal Academy of the United Kingdom and the Indian National Science Academy (INSA). In February 1992, he was deputed to the Government of India to undertake his responsibilities as Scientific Attachi/Science Counsellor at the Indian Embassy, Washington D.C., U.S.A. He worked as?? Science Counsellor from February 1992 to July 1995. He returned to India in July 1995 and joined BITS, Pilani as Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He is serving BITS, Pilani since then and he was deputed to Tulane University, New Orleans, U.S.A. by BITS under faculty exchange programme between Tulane University and BITS, Pilani in the year 1997. He is member on a number of CSIR and DST committees. He is Fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India) (FIE), Fellow of Ultrasonic Society of India, Fellow of Indian Society for Nondestructive Testing Techniques, Member of American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), USA, Member of Indian Society of Mechanical Engineers (ISME), Member of Biomedical Engineering Society of India, Member of Society for Biomechanics, Member for Society for Biomaterials and Artificial Organs, Member for Materials Research Society of India, Member of Acoustic Emission Working Group, Member of Indian Society for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics etc. Over a span of 35 years of teaching and research career, he has produced more than 100 research papers, has guided seven Ph.Ds. and a number of postgraduate and undergraduate projects besides two M.S. (Orthopaedics) dissertations. He has delivered several invited lectures and has worked on several sponsored research and consultancy projects and has acted as expert for several selection committees.
