Following these conventional nondestructive tests, it has been common practice to use somewhat arbitrary accept-reject criteria to decide whether or not the structure or device should be removed from service. The present unfavorable status of a large segment of industry, coupled with the desire to keep structures in service well past their original design life, dramatically show that our traditional approaches must be drastically modified if we are to be able to meet future needs. The role of nondestructive characterization of materials is changing and will continue to change dramatically. It has become increasingly evident that it is both practical and cost effective to expand the role of nondestructive evaluation to include all aspects of materials' production and application and to introduce it much earlier in the manufacturing cycle. In fact, the recovery of a large portion of industry from severe economic problems is dependent, in part, on the successful implementation of this expanded role. Currently, efforts are directed at developing and perfecting techniques which are capable of monitoring and controlling the materials production process; materials stability during transport, storage, and fabrication; and the amount and rate of degradation during the materials in-service life. To be more precise, the role of nondestructive testing has expanded far beyond its historical mission of detecting macroscopic defects in structures and devices which had already been constructed and most often had been in service for an extended period of time. Today, and ever increasingly in the future, using advanced sensors and modern measurement technology, along with signal/data processing techniques, information on the processing conditions and the properties and characteristics of the materials being processed can be continuously generated. Real-time process monitoring for more effective and efficient real-time process control and improved product quality and reliability will now become a practical reality. The optimization of the processing and properties of polymers, ceramics and composites, the development of synthetically structured materials, the characterization of surfaces and interfaces, the measurement and character-characterization of amorphous metals and semiconductors, the growth of perfect electronic and optical crystals and thin films, and in all cases, the structures, devices and systems made from these materials vii demand the innovative application of modern nondestructive materials characterization techniques to monitor and control as many stages of the production process as possible. Simply put, intelligent manufacturing is impossible without integrating modern nondestructive evaluation into the production system. Robert E. Green, Jr. Center for Nondestructive Evaluation The Johns Hopkins University viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A special thanks is due Academician Leonid M. Lyamshev from the Acoustical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, for presentation of a special invited lecture on Radiation Acoustics and Nondestructive Evaluation. Although the complete manuscript of the presentation by Academician Lyanshev is not available for printing in the proceedings, a publication is available elsewhere which contain details of his subject matter, namely: L.M. Lyamshev, Radiation Acoustics, Sov. Phys. Usp. 162, 43-94 (1992) [in English]. The conference organizers are indebted to a number of individuals for their assistance in making the symposium a success. Thanks to: the authors for their excellent contributions and cooperation in providing manuscripts; to the session chairpersons for keeping the sessions on time and stimulating lively discussions; to the University of Hawaii for assistance with the poster sessions; to Moshe Rosen, Jim Spicer, Jim Wagner, and John Winter, all of the Center for Nondestructive Evaluation of The Johns Hopkins University, for manuscript reviews. The symposium and the ensuing proceedings would have not been possible without the enthusiasm and extremely hard work of Debbie Harris, The Johns Hopkins University Center for Nondestructive Evaluation Center Coordinator, and her assistant, Debby Manley. All of us who enjoyed the symposium venue, the technical sessions, and the social events owe both of these women our most sincere vote of thanks. ix CONTENTS PROCESS CONTROL Monitoring of Resin-Transfer Molding Using Laser-Based Ultrasound.......................... 1 AD.W.
