Destructive Action of Ultrasonic Wave on Bacteria

Sensitivity of Ultrasonic Wave Velocity Estimation Using the Christoffel Equation for Wood Non-Destructive Characterization

To perform a non-destructive evaluation of wood, the Christoffel equation is frequently used to describe the relationship between the ultrasonic wave velocity and the mechanical parameters. In the context of acoustical tomography imaging of standing trees, the key contribution of this numerical study is to determine the influence of mechanical parameters of the wood radial-tangential plane on t...

Measurement and Modelling of the Rubber Resilience based on Ultrasonic Non-destructive Testing in Tires

In tire industry, it is very crucial to evaluate physical and mechanical properties of the rubber which is used for production of the tire, to ensure the quality of the final product. Resilience is an important property of a rubber, which cannot be evaluated through direct measurement in production cycle in this industry. Therefore, non-destructive ultrasonic testing, which has been used in man...

Ultrasonic non destructive testing based on sparse deconvolution

The acoustic modality yields non destructive testing techniques of choice for indepth investigation. Given a precise model of acoustic wave propagation in materials of possibly complex structures, acoustical imaging amounts to the so-called acoustic wave inversion. A less ambitious approach consists in processing pulse-echo data (typically, Aor B-scans) to detect localised echoes with the maxim...

Plane Wave Imaging for ultrasonic non-destructive testing: Generalization to multimodal imaging.

This paper describes a new ultrasonic array imaging method for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) which is derived from the medical Plane Wave Imaging (PWI) technique. The objective is to perform fast ultrasound imaging with high image quality. The approach is to transmit plane waves at several angles and to record the back-scattered signals with all the array elements. Focusing in receive is then a...
