Ultrasonic Examination of a CVCS Weld

The anisotropic, heterogeneous and coarse granular structures of austenitic stainless steel welds may lead to important disturbances of the ultrasonic propagation : beam skewing and splitting, attenuation, backscattering and spurious echoes. Numerous studies were undertaken by EDF R&D and CEA for a few years to study these disturbances and to improve the ultrasonic NDT in nuclear applications. ...

Spot Weld Analysis With 2D Ultrasonic Arrays

This paper describes a threefold method of testing the performance of an array-based ultrasonic tool for nondestructive testing of spot welds. The tool is described in its capabilities, use, and advantages over existing counterparts. Performance testing for and the results from carrying out the testing are described. The three performance testing methods include 1) the use of calibrated samples...

Incremental Learning of Ultrasonic Weld Inspection Signals

In this paper, we present LEARN++, a new algorithm that allows existing classifiers to learn incrementally from new data without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. LEARN++ is based on generating multiple classifiers, each trained with a different subset of the training data and then combining them to form an ensemble of classifiers using weighted majority voting. The fundamental contribu...

Monitoring 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 ...
