Overview
Non-destructive testing (NDT) regroups a wide range of analysis techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of material, component or system without causing damage. Because NDT does not permanently alter the structure being inspected, it is a highly-valuable technique that can save both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research. Common NDT methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), and eddy-current testing.
The NDT & Condition Monitoring group aims to provide information and discussions on both current and challenging topics for various industry sectors and applications. The group meets every year at different locations and covers topics such as: structure assessments, development of tailored inspection techniques, validation of inspection process, training, etc.
Topics of interest
NDT, inspection and condition monitoring, Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Renewable energy, Transport, Validation, Qualification, Remote inspection, Integrity.

Angelique Raude
Angelique joined TWI in December 2005 as Project Leader in the Non Destructive Technology Group. She is currently working on Electromagnetic techniques but she also has a background on ultrasonic and thermography methods.
Angelique previously worked for different French companies as a placement student, for a few months to validate her years in university. During those previous experiences she developed a manufacturing process (vacuum bag process) for high performance composite flippers, she assessed steel sheets by biaxial testing (bulge test) for the automotive industry, and she developed a quality process for an on-line production of composite components. Finally during her last placement in EDF (electricite de France), she assessed the bond quality between a concrete block and a composite plate by Ultrasonic testing using Lamb waves.
