Contents of the Course
This course aims to introduce nondestructive testing (NDT) techniques used in wood protection. Topics covered include the basic principles of NDT, visual inspection, ultrasonic and radiographic testing, acoustic emission, vibration analysis, and measurement of moisture content and density. Students will also learn about advanced techniques such as infrared thermography, electrical resistance, and conductivity tests. The course will conclude with case studies and practical applications, discussing current trends and future directions. Assessment will be based on a midterm exam, student presentations, and a final exam.
