MEMB4013/453 NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING (NDT)

Assignments (SEM 1 2020/2021)

1. Visual Inspection (VI) is one of the most useful methods of NDT used
in many engineering works, but is still subjected to an inspector error.
In reference to human role in the inspection system, write an overview
on good practices of VI in enhancing of the reliability of NDI processes.

Assignments must be hand in by 25 September 2020)

2. Discuss the NDT applications in each phases of a material processing

used in the production of Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced
Concrete (UHPFRC) used in structural industry.

Assignments must be hand in by 16 October 2020)

3. Select one of the NDT methods given in ISO and prepare work instruction

4. Figure 1 shows a gas turbine blade made from a GTD111 alloy. The
figure also shows the blade contains a crack open to the specimen
surface of length 30mm and of depth 1 mm and it is not visible to the
naked eye. The crack is orientated at ninety degrees to the blade
surface. The wall thickness of the blade where the crack is, is 8 mm.
State whether liquid penetrant, magnetic particle inspection, eddy
current, radiography and ultrasonics can determine (or not determine)
the presence, length, depth, position and shape of the crack. Describe
briefly the principles of the techniques and state which technique you
would choose to determine the presence of the crack
