For the students who have selected the materials option, NDT course is an introduction on a very wide domain that plays a very important role in industry. Therefore, it provides new skills to students on topics that they should meet in their professional life.

The lecture reviews some modern methods of non-destructive methods actually used in industry.

For that purpose the course involves a review of Geometrical optics and wave optics. Effects on light of rough objects are described.

Optical shape method is given and experimentally demonstrated.

Processing methods for object shapes measurements are provided

Several holographic methods for defect detections and vibrational object response are exposed and experimentally demonstrated.

Students are invited to prepare a presentation on a non-optical NDT method
