This Month's Introduction

ntrs.nasa.gov

Mainly articles of this month's issue focuses on papers of some NASA's NDT activities. The NASA Technical Reports Server is an excellent point of search to find NDT topics of all NASA laboratories. Phillipe Rubbers introduces in this issue another ultrasonic shareware for visualization of ultrasonic pulses or wave-front propagation through a material. Rolf in Montreal If you haven't registered so far to the WCNDT 2004, be sure to do so to join an outstanding international conference with close to 2000 participants from 55 countries. The final programme is available on-line at www.wcndt2004.com. Rolf - NDT.net - is pleased report on the conference and publish the proceedings online. Looking forward seeing you in Montreal.
