Our NDT programmes and research go together, and our department is driven forward by its research. The research ambition of the Department of Mathematics, Non-Destructive Testing and Physics is motivated by the challenges facing Non-Destructive Testing Technology (NDTT). The department is taking special pride in pioneering new frontiers in Non-Destructive Testing and creating new ideas to enhance education in Non-Destructive Evaluation. The department is also identifying multidisciplinary NDT solutions to promote the safety of humankind when operating machinery. The multidisciplinary research collaborations have included Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, and Information Technology sections.<\/p><p>The broad focus research area for the department is as follows; \u201cTheoretical, experimental and numerical applications of NDT methods\u201d.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-267e166b e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"267e166b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10d36bd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"10d36bd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/vut.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VUT-Applied-Computer-Sciences-Logo-TM.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6696\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vut.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VUT-Applied-Computer-Sciences-Logo-TM.png 350w, https:\/\/vut.ac.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/VUT-Applied-Computer-Sciences-Logo-TM-300x279.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" title=\"VUT-Applied-Computer-Sciences-Logo-TM \u2013 Vaal University of Technology\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f5ef38 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1f5ef38\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ad34df5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ad34df5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Conference Papers<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-db8ae6e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"db8ae6e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li data-raofz=\"15\">Ngobeni MC., Welding Quality Inspection.
