Ultrasound Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) Imaging with Transducer Arrays and Adaptive Processing
This paper addresses the challenging problem of ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation (NDE) imaging with adaptive transducer arrays. In NDE applications, most materials like concrete, stainless steel and carbon-reinforced composites used extensively in industries and civil engineering exhibit heterogeneous internal structure. When inspected using ultrasound, the signals from defects are signifi...
متن کاملAdaptive beamforming in row-column addressed arrays for 3D ultrasound imaging
In recent years, to reduce the complexity of implementation, the use of 2D arrays with restricted row-column addressing has been considered for 3D ultrasound imaging. In this paper, two methods of adaptive beamforming based on the minimum variance method are represented in such a way that the computational load is much less than using the full adaptive beamforming method. In both proposed metho...

متن کاملAluminum Nitride Piezoelectric Micromachined Ultrasound Transducer Arrays
Air-coupled piezoelectric micromachined ultrasound transducer arrays, operating at ~190 kHz, have been fabricated utilizing an aluminum nitride piezoelectric layer. Improved fabrication processes have reduced the frequency variation seen in our previous work with single transducers resulting in arrays of transducers with resonant frequencies (fn) that match within the fractional half-power band...
متن کاملImage Processing for Nondestructive Evaluation
Digital image processing techniques can improve the interpretation and evaluation of radiographic and acoustic image data as well as the time domain waveforms produced by ultrasonic, eddy current, and acoustic emission in two important ways. First, the image or waveform being evaluated can be enhanced to bring out detail not readily apparent to the observer. Second, the properly enhanced image ...
