Abstract
Early detection and continuous tracking of material micro-damages have been one of the most demanding techniques in industries. Due to the sensitivity of acoustic nonlinearity to micro-damage, the nonlinear ultrasonic technique has been explored as a promising tool for early detection of micro-damages. In this chapter, we breifly introduce the earlier efforts and recent development of the nonlinear acoustics and their applications for nondestructive testing and evaluation (NDT& E). Some advanced techniques based on measure of nonlinear acoustics for NDT& E are also introduced as potential and attractive means.
