1st International Symposium on Laser Ultrasonics : Laser-ultrasonics or laser-ultrasound or laser-based ultrasound, as it may be differently called, goes back to the 60s with the laser generation of ultrasound. Optical detection of ultrasound followed years later, but the technique, even using alternate detection means, has been for a long time essentially a laboratory curiosity. Years of research and development have result in the introduction of innovative schemes and instruments as well as the emergence of new application fields. In recent years, a continuous thrust in research towards higher frequencies, non-linear effects and micro and nano scale analysis has been carried out. In parallel to these developments, a transition of the technology to the industry has been underway. There are now companies selling laser-ultrasonic equipment serving industrial sectors as diverse as microelectronics, steel and aerospace. Therefore, as many have expressed the wish, there is a need to assemble practitioners and users of laser-ultrasonics from academia and industry to present state-of-the art status of the technique and technologies, current research focus as well as future trends. This symposium aims to fulfill this need and hopefully will be the first of a series of symposia on this subject. The Industrial Materials Institute of the National Research Council of Canada (IMI-NRC) in collaboration with the Quebec Materials Network are pleased to announce the 1st International Symposium on Laser Ultrasonics: Science, Technology and Applications (LU2008). This 3-day symposium will be held July 16-18 in Montreal, Canada at École de technologie supérieure (ETS), a main engineering university located in downtown Montreal. It will offer unique opportunities for networking with colleagues having a wide range of interests coming from academia, industry and government from all over the world. This symposium will encompass all aspects related to research, development and applications of laser ultrasonics. It will offer the complete conference experience with invited speakers, oral and poster presentations, and social events that will ensure an enjoyable meeting. Also, papers associated with the Laser Ultrasonic symposium are to be published in a CD-ROM and will also be available on-line at www.ndt.net. **NEW** : Program section updated with Invited speakers!

Nondestructive Testing in Repair and Maintenance of Gas Turbine Components Gas turbine components operate in demand in high temperature environments that result in the damage over time. Nondestructive testing plays an important role in determining the serviceability of parts and in the repair processes used to restore them. Conventional and non-conventional nondestructive techniques used in repair and maintenance of gas turbine hardware will be surveyed. Location: 400 Hwy 6 North, Dundas ON Contact: Peter Kaszuba, 905-377-9611 Ext. 252 pkaszuba@pulsecho.ca (Register no later than Friday, June 13, 2008 |

Quebec Chapter Meeting Notice Cette session technique servira à présenter aux participants les principes fondamentaux de la Tomographie par rayons-x informatisée (CT). Des exemples d`inspection typiques pour des applications aérospatiales seront aussi présentés. P&WC utilise CT depuis le début des années 1990 mais des avancements récents dans la vitesse d’analyse d’information a permis des développements dans le domaine de la visualisation d’ensembles de données CT qui n’était pas possible il y a quelques années. The talk will introduce the audience to the basics of X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) and will show typical examples of aerospace inspection applications. P&WC have been utilizing CT since the early 1990’s but recent advancements in computing power has enabled developments in the field of visualization of CT data sets that were not practical a few years ago. Daniel Girard, Enquêtes Matériel chez P&WC, opère le système CT 101B 450kV de P&WC depuis plus de 10 ans. Daniel a commencé chez P&WC en 1984 et a travaillé dans des différentes organisations avant de se joindre à l’organisation d’Assurance de la Qualité de Matériel en 2000. Daniel a des connaissances étendue sur CT et communique avec l’Ingénierie sur les enquêtes des composantes. Daniel détient un DEC en Métallurgie.
