As a matter of everyday experience we inspect structures and products visually and then apply a limited amount of stress. The purpose of this booklet is to describe briefly the possibilities so revealed when modern technology is brought to bear on this fundamental approach. The significant new tools which can be applied to the problem include lasers, infra-red – and even microwave – heat-induced strain, video recording and image analysis systems. It is the object of this text to describe the most successful and striking ideas which have been demonstrated and to attempt to assess their comparative advantages and limitations.
