Fabrication of artificial defects in aircraft components for nondestructive testing using 3D printing by Chan, Marcus Jia Jun

“…An Ultrasonic C-scan was also being performed to understand correctly the topography provided in the results. It was found that despite being able to correctly measure the component’s depth, the topography was found to be distorted due to a combination of beam spread and machine measurement errors. …”

Global whole lithosphere isostasy : implications for surface elevations, structure, strength, and densities of the continental lithosphere by Lamb, Simon, Moore, James Daniel Paul, Perez-Gussinye, Marta, Stern, Tim

“…We use a global model of WLI as a framework to assess factors controlling topography, showing that plausible regional variations in crustal and mantle densities, together with uncertainties in the crustal and conductive lithospheric thicknesses, are sufficient to account for global elevations without invoking dynamic topography greater than a few hundred meters. …”
