The objective of this prize is to promote both fundamental and applied
research in the field of non-destructive testing, to encourage the testing, perfecting and creation of new test methods in academic and industrial
research environments.
The prize is awarded to a person or team whose research work has been selected by a committee comprising seven to eleven NDT experts who assess papers submitted by candidates. Two NDT Innovation Prizes will henceforth be awarded:
The NDT Innovation Prize was awarded in 1983, 1986, 1990 and 1997, during national congresses in France. In 1994, the CGR unit, now part of Cegelec, awarded prizes to European recipients during the 6th Congress for Non-Destructive Testing in Nice. The NDT Innovation Prize, financed by Cegelec, is awarded in 1998 in partnership with the 7th Congress for Non-Destructive Testing, held in Copenhagen. The two prizes are each worth a total of 5,000 ECU. Recipients receive:
The certificate and medal are designed by Charles-Etienne Roguier. |

Basic research R. Marklein (Kassel University- Dept Electrical Engineering) For its works on: NDT related quantitative modelling of coupled Piezoelectric and Ultrasonic Wave Phenomena Quantitative methods in Ultrasonic Non Destructive evaluation requires more and more deep and fundamental physical understanding of elastic wave propagation and scattering in solids and, consequently, numerical codes to model these phenomena. Starting from a team work which laid the foundation for a numerical technique called EFIT (Elastodynamic Finite Integration Technique), R. Marklein has substantially further developed and applied this code. The latest scientific milestone comprises the inclusion of coupled piezoelectric and ultrasonic wave phenomena to account explicitly for the modelling of the transducer as a transformer of electrical quantities, i.e. voltage and current, into elastodynamic quantities i.e. displacement and stress. |
