Critical evaluation of pulse-echo ultrasonic test method for the determination of setting and mechanical properties of acrylic bone cement: influence of mixing technique.
Currently there is no reliable objective method to quantify the setting properties of acrylic bone cements within an operating theatre environment. Ultrasonic technology can be used to determine the acoustic properties of the polymerising bone cement, which are linked to material properties and provide indications of the physical and chemical changes occurring within the cement. The focus of th...
متن کاملElastic properties of Gd5Si2Ge2 studied with an ultrasonic pulse-echo technique
We present the results of a study of the elastic properties of Gd5Si2Ge2, an alloy with giant magnetocaloric, magnetostrictive, and colossal magnetoresistive properties. Sound wave velocities measured in a number of different geometries allowed us to determine the whole elastic tensor for the monoclinic phase of this material. The anisotropy of the crystal is explored using the polar plots of t...
متن کاملCepstrum - based Deconvolution Techniques for Ultrasonic Pulse - echo Imaging of Flaws in Composite Laminates
Ultrasonic imaging is a powerful nondestructive evaluation (NDE) tool for flaw characterization. This thesis discusses the signal processing techniques developed for ultrasonic imaging of flaws in composite laminates. Commonly used time-domain signal processing techniques have problems including poor resolution, dependence on operator's experiences and subjectivity. Some transform-domain proces...
متن کاملThe thermal pulse decay technique for measuring ultrasonic absorption coefficients
The classic method for measuring absorption coefficients ofmaterials requires adetermination of the temperature rise within a medium during ultrasonic irradiation. Serious errors may result from a viscous heating effect around the required thermocouple probe, and from heat lost by conduction to surrounding, cooler egions. A thermal pulse-decay technique is proposed and evaluated which allows fo...
متن کاملMonitoring Pipe-Wall Corrosion Rate by Ultrasonic Technique
thickness and corrosion/erosion rate. In this thesis, a combination of signal processing techniques are used to estimate the corrosion rate estimates based on MBE. Corrosion rate is estimated based on ultrasonic pipe wall thickness data is collected over a short period of time using MBE model. This technique is based on data collected from the speedometer applied for thinning and both indicate ...
