Typical material defects, as well as quality management through NDT methods throughout the product lifecycle, is introduced. A complete overview of existing NDT techniques is given, followed by a description of limitations in terms of bond Performance assessment. Recent concepts and nascent developments ('Extended NDT') for the future are explored.ennon-destructive testing (NDT)adhesive bonddefectbond performance assessment620658670book article
