Contributing to ASNT publications is a great way to share your NDT knowledge and expertise. Here are some current opportunities to be published with ASNT:
Call for Papers: Materials Evaluation Special Issue on Highway Bridge Infrastructure
Inspection and evaluation of highway bridge infrastructure is critical for assuring public safety, mobility, and cost-effective asset management. There have been considerable changes in the inspection and evaluation of highway bridges during the last decade due to the changes in the National Bridge Inspection Standards, changes in user expectations (such as mobility and reliability besides safety), and advances and accelerated use of new technologies by the bridge owners.
New technologies include NDT methods, unmanned aerial and submerged vehicles, structural health monitoring, robotics, autonomous vehicles, augmented reality, remote sensing, and data analytics, among others.
“Transportation infrastructure is the backbone of US commerce and is key to maintaining economic competitiveness in the world. Innovative technologies and nondestructive testing/evaluation methods play a major role in minimizing life-cycle costs of highway bridge infrastructure; and this special issue highlights these developments and applications,” says Guest Technical Editor Dr. Sreenivas Alampalli.
The Materials Evaluation Technical Focus Issue scheduled for January 2023 on Highway Infrastructure will highlight these developments and applications for the effective management of highway bridge infrastructure.
For more information or to submit an abstract, contact Dr. Alampalli at Sreenivas.Alampalli@stantec.com. If your abstract is accepted, final papers must be submitted by 1 May 2022.
Call for Papers: Special issue of Research in Nondestructive Evaluation Nondestructive Testing for Additive Manufacturing
Papers are invited for this special issue of Research in Nondestructive Evaluation (RNDE) covering topics in the domain of nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT/E) in all forms of additive manufacturing. The aim is to provide a collection of the latest research and industrial development work at the interface of NDT/E and additive manufacturing, highlighting the important role that NDT/E plays in this new manufacturing paradigm.
While destructive evaluation methods are often used to characterize and qualify additively manufactured products, NDE methods can provide significant insights without the need for sectioning and damaging the part. Due to the fact that the mechanical performance of additively manufactured parts may often be affected by the presence of defects (i.e., pores, cracks, inclusions, surface roughness, etc.), understanding the type, size, and location of defects is key to managing performance expectations and predicting performance. Furthermore, some internal features of complex-shaped additively manufactured parts, for example in lattice structures or cooling channels in bulk parts, cannot be measured easily. Therefore, NDE methods covering both in-process monitoring and post-build inspection become crucial in identifying defects and evaluating the quality of the additively manufactured component or product.
Topics in this special issue cover current and novel NDE methods and in-process monitoring techniques as they pertain to additive manufacturing. Research papers and reviews are welcomed for submission. Refer to the author guidelines for page and figure limits.
