The book describes efficient ultrasonic CNDE methods for NDE of isotropic, anisotropic and functionally graded materials. It discusses NDE simulation, ultrasonic wave propagation through continuum mechanics, and methods for six computational methods to simulate NDE experiments virtually. It offers guidelines for selecting simulation methods.
