Aims & Scope

The Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation is a peer-reviewed journal focusing on quantitative nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of diverse materials, components, and biological objects. Provides a platform for activities related to NDE, where the technology is used to monitor manufacturing processes, assess structural health or integrity, or predict maintenance and service life. Includes NDE of engineered materials such as coatings and composites, micro and nanomaterials, and additive manufactured components. Encourages submissions describing original work including theoretical, numerical, experimental, or combined analyses; laboratory studies; field application studies; and more. Places emphasis on the development of new technologies and trends in NDE such as NDE 4.0. Publishes technical articles, short communications, review papers and special issues dedicated to significant NDE technical issues. Authors submitting papers to the Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation are encouraged to provide Reviewer recommendations.
