Ultrasonic measurement models for surface wave and plate wave inspections

A complete ultrasonic measurement model for surface and plate wave inspections is obtained, where all the electrical, electromechanical, and acoustic/elastic elements are explicitly described. Reciprocity principles are used to describe the acoustic/elastic elements specifically in terms of an integral of the incident and scattered wave fields over the surface of the flaw. As with the case of b...

Process Monitoring Using Optical Ultrasonic Wave Detection

Certain microstructural features of materials, such as grain size in metals, porosity in ceramics, and structural phase compositions, are important for determining mechanical properties. Many of these microstructural features have been characterized by ultrasonic wave propagation measurements, such as wave velocity and attenuation. Real-time monitoring of ultrasonic wave propagation during the ...

Intra-body Communication Using Ultrasonic Wave Propagation

With advances in technology and people’s increasing emphasis on health issues, there has been a rapid development of wearable and implantable biomedical sensors. However, radio frequency waves dominate wireless communications, despite disadvantages such as high attenuation in the human body, considerable power consumption, and complicated wireless antenna design, which has hampered the developm...

Ultrasonic Lamb wave tomography

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of aerospace structures using traditional methods is a complex, time-consuming process critical to maintaining mission readiness and flight safety. Limited access to corrosion-prone structure and the restricted applicability of available NDE techniques for the detection of hidden corrosion or other damage often compound the challenge. In this paper we discuss our...
