Yv. Sudenkov et al., OPTOACOUSTIC EFFECT IN STRUCTURAL INVESTIGATIONS AND FLAW DETECTION IN SOLIDS, Russian journal of nondestructive testing, 28(12), 1992, pp. 770-775
The possibilities of utilizing the optoacoustic effect for the nondest
ructive testing of materials and products are investigated. It is show
n that this approach has advantages over conventional testing methods
in a number of cases. The results of experiments on testing for struct
ural changes and flaws in solids are reported.
