Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to systems and methods for nondestructive testing of material to predict oncoming failure thereof. For example, components and/or elements of various devices may be nondestructively tested to predict and/or prevent failure of such components and elements during operation. In some embodiments, the components and/or elements may be tested without removal thereof from systems or devices (e.g., a wing of an airplane may be tested for oncoming failure without removing the wing from the airplane).
