Optimization of Ultrasonic Phased Arrays
Ultrasonic phased arrays are an emerging technology in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications. A phased array is a multi-element piezo-electric device whose elements are individually excited by electric pulses at programmed delay times [1]. Such a delay scheme allows electronically controlled dynamic beam control. One of the advantages of using phased arrays in NDE applications over conve...
متن کاملUltrasonic Inspection of Pressure Vessel Construction Welds using Phased Arrays
Ultrasonic phased arrays are a new technology that offers considerable potential for inspecting construction welds. Using electronic control of the beam, phased arrays can scan, sweep, steer and focus the ultrasound. Since welds typically produce defects of known character and orientation, phased arrays can be programmed to optimize weld inspections. These inspections include standard ASME-type...
متن کاملTarget classification with artificial neural networks using ultrasonic phased arrays
The problem of classifying objects from their ultrasonic signature for robotic applications is studied in this paper. The system developed utilises the spatial diversity of a four element linear array transducer to enhance classification performance. A signal pre-processing technique employing time domain envelope detection in combination with a multi-layer perceptron neural network has yielded...
متن کاملUltrasonic Phased Arrays for the Inspection of Thick-Section Welds
Ultrasonic phased arrays will eventually replace conventional ultrasonic methods in many nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications. However, the transition to phased arrays is not without its pitfalls and challenges. In this report we present a summary of the advantages and limitations of phased-array ultrasonics in NDE, with specific reference to the inspection of thicksection welds. The ma...
متن کاملSimulation and Data Processing for Ultrasonic Phased-arrays Applications
The use of phased-arrays techniques has considerably contributed to extend the domain of applications and the performances of ultrasonic methods on complex configurations. Their adaptability offers a great freedom for conceiving the inspection leading to a wide range of functionalities gathering electronic commutation, applications of different delay laws and so on. This advantage allows to cir...
