The ultrasonic time of flight diffraction technique (TOFD) is a routine method for defect detection and sizing performance in engineering structures. The first book by the authors, published in 1989, provided comprehensive information on the theoretical background, practical implementation and performance of the technique. Their method is now widely used and has been adopted as one of the essential tools. This second edition has brought the previous book up to date by including new material on the theoretical basis, experimental demonstration of capability and engineering applications of TOFD. The book will also include a chapter on standards, citing work on British and European standards.
