Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) becomes a key discipline for modem technology. Information about materials defects and properties is significant to guarantee reliability of a product and avoid fatal accidents. For instance technologies with high safety requirements like aviation, automotive, and energy production are driving forces for NDE. Keeping in mind that aging of the infrastructure is an issue in all industrial countries and that, for example, an aircraft can have a lifetime of several decades poses new challenges for NDE and especially nondestructive materials characterization....
