NDT & Mechanical Properties
(OP)
Is there a NDT instrument that can measure mechanical properties? Such as ultrasonic, eddy current NDT? I realize known standards would probably be needed to calibrate such a device/method. What I have is a wrought aluminum stucture that I would like to measure its yield or tensile strength non-destructively. Hardness testing is not acceptable.

X-Ray diffraction can measure local superficial state of stress

It is unfortunate that hardness testing is not acceptable.
May be microhardness?

Search on "materials characterisation" or search the WCNDT papers over the last few years. Much research information on there about the subject.
