Jozsef Bodig Emeritus Professor, Wood Science and Civil Engineering Colorado State University and Principal Scientist, EDM International, Inc., Fort Collins Colorado, U.S.A.
The keynote address for NDT 2000 provides an overview of the various nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods and their applicability to wood products. It discusses the end goal requirements of a typical NDE research and identifies the components of the project that need to be emphasized. The presentation focuses on the sonic stress wave spectral analysis approach. Based on the author's personal experience, examples are given on five previous research projects.
