Welcome to the Nondestructive Evaluation Sciences Branch at the NASA Langley Research Center
Nondestructive Evaluation is an indispensable part of modern technology and is a key to the successful use of new materials and structural concepts in aerospace vehicles. NASA’s mission goals of safe long duration spaceflight and enabling efficient air travel require a full understanding of the physics and material science associated with the use of complex materials and structures. In order to successfully meet this challenge, the Nondestructive Evaluation Science Branch (NESB) is developing novel methods for automated and large area inspection, NDE modeling and data analysis tools, material state awareness technologies, intelligent measurement and sensor systems. By building on a rich history of technological advancement and NDE knowledge, NESB continues to be a world leading nondestructive evaluation sciences research laboratory for aerospace applications and a science and technology resource for NASA, other government agencies, and United States industry.
