Nondestructive testing
Nondestructive testing or Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a wide group of analysis techniques used in science and industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component or system without causing damage.[1] The terms Nondestructive examination (NDE), Nondestructive inspection (NDI), and Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) are also commonly used to describe this technology.[2] Because NDT does not permanently alter the article being inspected, it is a highly valuable technique that can save both money and time in product evaluation, troubleshooting, and research. Common NDT methods include ultrasonic, magnetic-particle, liquid penetrant, radiographic, remote visual inspection (RVI), eddy-current testing,[1] and low coherence interferometry.[3][4] NDT is commonly used in forensic engineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, electrical engineering, civil engineering, systems engineering, aeronautical engineering, medicine, and art.[1] Innovations in the field of nondestructive testing have had a profound impact on medical imaging, including on echocardiography, medical ultrasonography, and digital radiography.
Methods[edit]
NDT methods may rely upon use of electromagnetic radiation, sound, and inherent properties of materials to examine samples. This includes some kinds of microscopy to examine external surfaces in detail, although sample preparation techniques for metallography, optical microscopy and electron microscopy are generally destructive as the surfaces must be made smooth through polishing or the sample must be electron transparent in thickness. The inside of a sample can be examined with penetrating radiation, such as X-rays, neutrons or terahertz radiation. Sound waves are utilized in the case of ultrasonic testing. Contrast between a defect and the bulk of the sample may be enhanced for visual examination by the unaided eye by using liquids to penetrate fatigue cracks. One method (liquid penetrant testing) involves using dyes, fluorescent or non-fluorescent, in fluids for non-magnetic materials, usually metals. Another commonly used NDT method used on ferrous materials involves the application of fine iron particles (either liquid or dry dust) that are applied to a part while it is in an externally magnetized state (magnetic-particle testing). The particles will be attracted to leakage fields within the test object, and form on the objects surface. Magnetic particle testing can reveal surface & some sub-surface defects within the part. Thermoelectric effect (or use of the Seebeck effect) uses thermal properties of an alloy to quickly and easily characterize many alloys. The chemical test, or chemical spot test method, utilizes application of sensitive chemicals that can indicate the presence of individual alloying elements. Electrochemical methods, such as electrochemical fatigue crack sensors, utilize the tendency of metal structural material to oxidize readily in order to detect progressive damage.
Analyzing and documenting a non-destructive failure mode can also be accomplished using a high-speed camera recording continuously (movie-loop) until the failure is detected. Detecting the failure can be accomplished using a sound detector or stress gauge which produces a signal to trigger the high-speed camera. These high-speed cameras have advanced recording modes to capture some non-destructive failures.[5] After the failure the high-speed camera will stop recording. The capture images can be played back in slow motion showing precisely what happen before, during and after the non-destructive event, image by image.

You're looking at an ultra-wide panorama that almost captures a north to south view of Blue Creek Canyon where the Homer Wilson Ranch is located (also know as the Blue Creek Ranch) just below Carousel Mountain (4,633 ft). At the bottom left you can see the trail down into the canyon where you may hike to get a closer look.
Wilson, born 1892 in Del Rio, Texas, studied petroleum engineering at the Missouri School of Mines and was a World War I veteran. When he established his ranch in 1929, it became one of the largest (28,000 acres) in the early twentieth century, in Texas and the most significant in Big Bend (4,000 sheep and 2,500 goats). In 1975, it was placed in the National Register of Historic Places.

I was travelling down to London on the East Coast line, working on my laptop. Emmanuer came and sat opposite and started to work on his iPad. He started talking very quietly, I assume he was translating the whatever he was working on?
After a while, I asked if I could take his photograph, he was a little confused. So I tried explaining the background to the project. He was still somewhat reticent, so I showed him a few of my 100 Stranger photos and agreed. This was my toughest sell, thus far.
Emmanuer has been spent the last year studying at Petroleum Engineering at Heriot-Watt University and was now coming to the end of his time in the UK. He would soon be heading back to Nigeria and start looking for work, he said he would be happy to work anywhere. we talked a little about his area of study, but my knowledge was soon exhausted. So we talked about football, this brought a big smile from Emmanuer. He enjoys both watching and playing football, a defensive midfielder, a position I used to play whne I was younger.
At which point I took a few photographs, which we reviewed and then we both got back to our work. I thanked Emmanuer and gave him a Moo card as we got off the train at Kings Cross.
Emmanuer, good luck in your job search and thanks for taking part in my project.

BLMers Giving Back: Two BLMers Help Local Boy Scout Troop Get Outside
Elliott Hinkley, Law Enforcement Ranger, and Tim Barrett, Petroleum Engineering Technician - both from the BLM Colorado River Valley Field Office - volunteered their time last summer to mentor a local Boy Scout troop at a week-long summer camp.
The camp was a new experience for the young troop; they had never been on a week-long camping trip where they cooked and cleaned for themselves. It took them a couple of days at camp to “buy in” to the program. But then, they started enjoying the activities, the work, and the overall experience. By the end of the week, they were already asking if they could come back next year!
The four Scouts earned a total of 27 merit badges by the end of the camp. Merit badges earned included archery, camping, environmental science, wilderness survival, rifle shooting, canoeing and kayaking, among others. The Scouts also participated in activities like the Cat-Eye trail, orienteering courses completed at night.
Elliott’s skills, expertise, and experience as a ranger were a big motivation for the Scouts to engage and work hard, even while seeing Scouts from other troops relaxing and taking it easy. The Scouts were able to learn wilderness skills and gain a passion for science and environmental topics that they can carry with them far into the future, maybe even into land management careers of their own! The scouts wouldn’t have been able to complete the camp without the encouragement and help from Elliott and Tim. Great job, BLMers.

I was out to lunch with my wife about two weeks ago. The 24-70 mm lens that I rented had just arrived and I was literally begging her to let me take a few picture of her. After I took a few photos of her and we were walking back to her office she pointed out the small garden in the middle of the open area. My wife told me that she thought it would make a wonderful stranger portrait. Shortly after dropping her off at work I went hunting for strangers. I literally couldn’t help myself when I saw a couple near the flower garden and the girl was wearing bright pink to complement the flowers! Meet Stephanie a smiling brightly colored individual. She was hanging out with her boyfriend Matt (Stranger 51) killing some time between classes. Stephanie and Matt came to school from a tiny town in Wyoming. She is studying kinesthesiology and Matt is studying petroleum engineering. They are in their first semester. I asked them they were enjoying themselves and they told me they were. I have been fairly unsuccessful in photographing couples separately. I was really set on photographing each individually. I had Matt hold the reflector while I took a few images of Stephanie and then had them swap. I took a shot of them together so that they could have it later on.
Thank you Stephanie for helping me out with my 100 Strangers Project!

“There’s a long line of doctors in my family. My parents told me I was free to study whatever I wanted. I think deep down they would have liked me to follow the same route. But someone had to change, break the chain. I chose petroleum engineering. I’m from Oman and 70% of our economy is based on oil and gas. But they don’t have enough women in this area, and I want to be the one to change that. I’ve always been determined to lead, and stand for something. When I got a scholarship to go to Australia, before I came here, I was told I couldn’t do it. So I did it anyway. Yes, it was all new to me and difficult at first but it ended up being the greatest experience I’ve ever had. I came back a different person. Now, I want to change everything but I’ll start with myself first, the world can wait.”

Historic Halbouty Geosciences Building on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas. The Beaux Arts style building was constructed in 1932 as the Petroleum Engineering, Geology, and Engineering Experiment Station Building. The eclectic building also has some Art Deco elements. It originally had a large stone tower above the main entrance to cover a water tower. The tower was removed in the 1970s.
The building was named the Michael T. Halbouty Geosciences Building in 1977 and it now houses the Department of Geology and Geophysics.
The Petroleum Engineering & Geology Building was one of ten buildings constructed during a five-year period from 1928 to 1933 for the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (renamed Texas A&M in 1963). The others included the 1929 Chemistry Building, 1930 Cushing Memorial Library, 1930 Hart Hall, 1931 Alton Hall, 1932 Administration Building (now Jack K. Williams Administration Building), 1932 Agricultural Engineering Building (now Scoates Hall), 1932 Animal Industries Building, 1932 Veterinary Hospital Building (now Haynes Engineering Building), and the now demolished 1933 Horse Barn (also known as the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station Annex Building).

Texas A&M University (Texas A&M, TAMU, or A&M) is a coeducational public research university located in College Station, Texas, United States. It is the flagship institution of the Texas A&M University System, the fourth-largest university in the United States and the largest university in Texas. Texas A&M's designation as a land, sea, and space grant institution reflects a range of research with ongoing projects funded by agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Office of Naval Research. The school ranks in the top 20 American research institutes in funding and has made contributions to such fields as animal cloning and petroleum engineering.
The first public institution of higher education in Texas, though not the first general university in the state, the school opened on October 4, 1876 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas under the provisions of the Morrill Land-Grant Acts. Originally, the college taught no classes in agriculture, instead concentrating on classical studies, languages, literature, and applied mathematics. After four years, students could attain degrees in scientific agriculture, civil and mining engineering, and language and literature. Under the leadership of President James Earl Rudder, in the 1960s A&M desegregated, became coeducational, and dropped the requirement for participation in the Corps of Cadets. To reflect the institution's expanded roles and academic offerings, the Texas Legislature renamed the school to Texas A&M University in 1963. The letters "A&M", originally short for "Agricultural and Mechanical", are retained only as a link to the university's past. The school's students, alumni, and sports teams are known as "Aggies".
The main campus is one of the largest in the United States, spanning 5,500 acres (22 km2), and includes the George Bush Presidential Library.
Approximately one-fifth of the student body lives on campus. Texas A&M has approximately 800 officially recognized student organizations. Many students also observe the traditions of Texas A&M University, which govern daily life as well as special occasions, including sports events. On July 1, 2012, the school joined the Southeastern Conference. A&M operates two branches: Texas A&M at Qatar and Texas A&M University at Galveston. Working with agencies such as the Texas AgriLife Research and Texas AgriLife Extension Service, Texas A&M has a direct presence in each of the 254 counties in Texas. The university offers degrees in over 150 courses of study through ten colleges and houses 18 research institutes. Texas A&M has awarded over 320,000 degrees, including 70,000 graduate and professional degrees.
As a Senior Military College, Texas A&M is one of three public universities with a full-time, volunteer Corps of Cadets.

CAMARILLO, Calif. – The Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) today announced the selection of Bruce Hesson to serve as the new regional director of BSEE’s Pacific Region.
“Bruce brings experience, a wealth of knowledge in oil and gas operations at both the state and federal levels, and a proven track record to this vital leadership role,” said BSEE Director Kevin Sligh. “His 40 years of experience provide a firm foundation to guide the Pacific Region’s daily efforts to ensure safe and environmentally responsible offshore energy activities, and to oversee the final decommissioning of platforms and infrastructure off the California coast that are no longer being used.”
As the Pacific Regional Director, Mr. Hesson will oversee the production of conventional energy resources on the federal Outer Continental Shelf, which extends seaward of California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii and the Pacific U.S. Territories. As director, he will lead an experienced team of approximately 40 petroleum engineers, structural engineers, geologists, geophysicists, environmental scientists, and administrative staff.
Mr. Hesson graduated from Texas A&M University in 1983 with a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering and has been a California Registered Professional Engineer since 1997. He has almost 40 years of experience in the oil & gas industry: serving 29 years with the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR), where he worked his way up from field engineer to District Deputy for the Ventura District, serving 13 years in that capacity until his retirement from the State in May 2016. Most recently he has served with BSEE for six years as the Permitting Section Chief and Regional Supervisor for the Office of Field Operations in the Pacific Region’s Camarillo office.

BLMERS #GIVINGBACK: Colorado BLMer Serves His Community in Many Ways
Greg Rios, a petroleum engineering technician at the Colorado River Valley Field Office in Silt, Colo., finds ways to give back to the community where he lives and works year-round. Earlier this year, he chaperoned a group of 4H students on a field trip to Utah, and he is currently in the process of getting certified to chaperone international trips on behalf of the 4H, as well. Greg volunteers as a youth soccer coach, teaches religious education at his church, sponsors foreign exchange students in his home, works on Habitat for Humanity projects and has even played “Smokey” for Forest Service functions! He has taken on many of these activities while also attending field training and schooling to get his BLM PET national certification, stretching his time and energy to satisfy multiple commitments. Greg’s generosity and dedication to family and community have benefitted all who know him. He provides a shining example of all the ways a selfless and dedicated person can give back.

Texas A&M University (Texas A&M, TAMU, or A&M) is a coeducational public research university located in College Station, Texas, United States. It is the flagship institution of the Texas A&M University System, the fourth-largest university in the United States and the largest university in Texas. Texas A&M's designation as a land, sea, and space grant institution reflects a range of research with ongoing projects funded by agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Office of Naval Research. The school ranks in the top 20 American research institutes in funding and has made contributions to such fields as animal cloning and petroleum engineering.
The first public institution of higher education in Texas, though not the first general university in the state, the school opened on October 4, 1876 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas under the provisions of the Morrill Land-Grant Acts. Originally, the college taught no classes in agriculture, instead concentrating on classical studies, languages, literature, and applied mathematics. After four years, students could attain degrees in scientific agriculture, civil and mining engineering, and language and literature.

Eni's structures and technologies immortalised by former students during work experience in Italy and abroad.
Joe Salcido III, Petroleum Engineering Technician for the BLM-New Mexico Carlsbad Field Office served four years in the U.S. Navy as a Yeoman, Surface Warfare.
“My previous military benefits BLM, because my job is very self-motivated. In the United States Navy you serve with Honor, Courage and Commitment. Having those values instilled in me helps me stay on track and get my job done. Also having a chain of command is similar to the military you know who to got to for resources as far as supervisors or lead positions go. Structure you learn from being in the military is applied to my current job. My supervisor and leads know I will do a good job due to my dedication trough my service. I still fill like I'm serving my country in certain aspects.”

The partial solar eclipse of May 20th, 2012 as seen as the sun sets over the University of Texas in Austin. I'm not sure which building that is but, looking at the map, the only one that falls under the line of the sunset would appear to be the college of geophysical sciences and petroleum engineering. I'll take a look at Google street view and see if I can confirm this.
Unfortunately, Austin was about 400 miles too far east for us to see the full annular eclipse but we got about 60% coverage or so before the sun dipped below the horizon.
This was taken from the City of Austin transportation depot just off 183, north of 71, a location that Jerry Hayes had scouted earlier in the week. We had hoped to get the Capitol dome in the shot but, unfortunately, to get that, we would have had to park in the middle of the bridge down at 183 and Montopolis and setting up on a freeway didn't seem like a good thing to do. Strangely enough, as I drove back that way, there was a guy with a motocycle parked there on the shoulder and a camera on a tripod so I guess he got the shot!
By the way, this is straight out of the camera with no processing other than the square crop. I thought it was rather amusing that the colour was almost exactly UT orange.

Wearing lab coats and eye protection for safety, students focus on David Griffin, a lecturer in chemical and petroleum engineering, at the annual engineering summer camp.
“I took this while perched atop a small stepladder that I’d wedged between two fume hoods so the perspective would allow me to get all the faces in the frame,” says Cody Howard, who was shooting camp photos each day.
The campers were in the new Unit Operations Lab in LEEP2, a world-class lab that opened last fall for student and faculty research.
“They were about to do some hands-on work with ‘Newtonian fluid’ — a substance that can quickly change from solid to liquid (or at least more firm to less firm) based on the amount of stress and heat applied,” Howard says.
