Non-Destructive Testing Methods in Mechanical Engineering

Kapaeva Sarken Dzhulgazyvna

The instructor profile

Description: The discipline reveals the purpose and objectives of engineering education, competencies, knowledge, skills and abilities of a future specialist acquired in the learning process. 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
  • Non-destructive testing helps to predict the service life of production equipment and timely perform its maintenance, repair or replacement. 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.

Assessment of the student's knowledge

Teacher oversees various tasks related to ongoing assessment and determines students' current performance twice during each academic period. Ratings 1 and 2 are formulated based on the outcomes of this ongoing assessment. The student's learning achievements are assessed using a 100-point scale, and the final grades P1 and P2 are calculated as the average of their ongoing performance evaluations. The teacher evaluates the student's work throughout the academic period in alignment with the assignment submission schedule for the discipline. The assessment system may incorporate a mix of written and oral, group and individual formats.

Period Type of task Total
1  rating Защита практических работ. Тест рубежного контроля 1 0-100
2  rating Защита практических работ. Тест рубежного контроля 2 0-100

Assessment criteria are the parameters clearly defined in the syllabus, according to which the current, intermediate and final assessment of students is carried out. Completing tasks of students' independent work for 100-90% Completing tasks of Independent work of students for 89-70 % Completing tasks of students' independent work for 70-50 % Completing tasks of students' independent work for 100-90%
Evaluation form

The student's final grade in the course is calculated on a 100 point grading scale, it includes:

  • 40% of the examination result;
  • 60% of current control result.

The final grade is calculated by the formula:

FG = 0,6 MT1+MT2 +0,4E

Where Midterm 1, Midterm 2are digital equivalents of the grades of Midterm 1 and 2;

E is a digital equivalent of the exam grade.
