Research in Nondestructive Evaluation is the flagship research journal of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing. Since 1989, RNDE has published peer-reviewed papers on novel experimental and theoretical investigations that advance state-of-the-art nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and structural health monitoring (SHM) methods such as acoustic and ultrasonic testing, electromagnetics, radiography, and thermography, as well as optical techniques.RNDE’s scope includes original research on NDE and SHM sensor/method development and verification studies as well as novel applications of NDE in various fields. The scope also includes the application of machine learning in NDE data analysis and interpretation.All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor regarding quality and consistency with the , and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
