Reconstructing Internal Temperature Distributions from Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight Tomography and Dimensional Resonance Measurements
نویسنده
چکیده
Two ultrasonic techniques for reconstructing the internal temperature distribution in metal bodies-timeof-flight tomography and dimensional resonance profiling-are described. An analysis of the tomographic reconstruction of temperature (including ray refraction effects) in a cylindrical body is presented together with initial experimental results. Dimensional resonance profiling is a new technique that allows the reconstruction of a one-dimensional distribution of temperature in a structure from measurements of its resonant frequencies. While time-of-flight tomography is well suited for measuring temperature in a cylindrical geometry, a combination of dimensional resonance and (a restricted form of) tomography is the best method for measuring temperature profiles in the more practically important rectangular slab geometry.

Ultrasonic time of flight measurements have been used to estimate the interior temperature of propulsion systems remotely. All that is needed is acoustic access to the boundary in question and a suitable model for the heat transfer along the path of the pulse train. The interior temperature is then deduced from a change in the time of flight and the temperature dependent velocity factor, which ...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Ultrasonic Evaluation of Horizontal Defects Using Time-of-Flight Diffraction
Time-of-flight diffraction method (ToFD) is an amplitude-independent sizing method which is based on the measurement of time-of-flight of defect tip diffracted waves. Although ToFD can measure through-wall length of defect accurately, this method is not capable of measuring horizontal defect size. In this paper, a new ToFD method for evaluating horizontal planar defects is presented. The finite...
