Non-Destructive Testing Methods in Mechanical Engineering
Description: CThis 30-hrs, one-semester course is a comprehensive introduction to modern nondestructive testing methods. The syllabus follows the requirements of American Society for Nondestructive Testing as well as various European societies for NDT personnel certifications. The course presents all major NDT methods, which are currently used in many industries including energy, aerospace, nuclear and civil engineering. The special emphasis was placed on physics of various NDT methods, types and sizes of discontinuities to be detected as well as on modern equipment and applications.

Goal
- To study the types of non-destructive testing inspection as an integral part of conventional industries. The common goal of all methods is to identify deficiencies and use components to reduce costs and increase reliability.
Objective
- To train specialists with knowledge of technologies used for non-destructive testing of equipment and materials
Learning outcome: knowledge and understanding
- Methods: Defect detection leak detection Dimension measurement Evaluation of physical properties Determination of chemical composition Stress and structure analysis
Learning outcome: applying knowledge and understanding
- Apply knowledge in the military and aerospace industries, oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, energy, transport, infrastructure, manufacturing, mining and other industries. The common goal of all these industries is to identify weaknesses and imperfections in components to reduce costs and increase reliability.
Learning outcome: formation of judgments
- Английский Неразрушающий контроль помогает прогнозировать срок службы производственного оборудования и своевременно выполнять его техническое обслуживание, ремонт или замену. Nerazrushayushchiy kontrol' pomogayet prognozirovat' srok sluzhby proizvodstvennogo oborudovaniya i svoyevremenno vypolnyat' yego tekhnicheskoye obsluzhivaniye, remont ili zamenu. Non-destructive testing helps to predict the life of the production equipment and timely perform its maintenance, repair or replacement.
Learning outcome: communicative abilities
- Apply communication skills (readiness for effective oral and written communication in the process of their professional activities, including in a foreign language).
Learning outcome: learning skills or learning abilities
- The ability to use non-destructive testing methods, the ability to detect defects and determine the features of defects, such as size, shape and orientation.
