International Symposium on Nondestructive Testing of Materials and Structures 2011

NDTMS-2011 International Symposium on Nondestructive Testing of Materials and Structures 2011 will be held on May 15-18, 2011 in Istanbul, Turkey. The meeting will be hosted by Istanbul Technical University. The Organizing Committee is delighted to invite you to the NDTMS-2011 and looks forward to welcoming you to this event.

The focus areas of the symposium will include:

• NDT methods for the characterization of materials and structures
• General NDT methods, state of the art, recent developments, use of combined NDT methods, sensors and instrumentation, measurements, signal processing, modeling and imaging techniques.
• NDT for material and property characterization
• Measurement and quantification of material properties including those of cementitious, metallic (including metallurgical perspective), and composite materials for civil and other engineering applications.
• NDT of civil infrastructures
• Damage detection and quantification, condition assessment, life prediction, and case studies on civil infrastructure components such as buildings, bridges, dams, tunnels, foundations, pipes, and pile systems.
• NDT for early age concrete
• Current and developing methods in the assessment of early age concrete properties.
• Health monitoring of structures
• Methods for continuous monitoring, remote sensing technologies, and wireless NDT. Existing and developing methods and case studies.
• NDT and evaluation of historic buildings and monuments
• Assessment and monitoring of historical structures and their foundations including masonry and composite systems. Methods and case studies.
