A 2D Finite Element Simulation of Liquid Coupled Ultrasonic NDT System
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this work is to improve modelling capabilities and reliability of wave propagation models using a commercial finite element package (COMSOL). The current model focusses on investigating the error and accuracy with the change in spatial and temporal discretization. To increase the reliability and inclusiveness of the finite element method, wave propagation has been modelled in solid medium with a cylindrical defect (side drilled hole), in a fluid medium and in a fluidsolid immersion model. The numerical predictions are validated through comparisons with available analytical solutions and experimental data. The model is being developed to incorporate additional complexity and ranges of properties, including operation at elevated temperature.

Investigating the Effect of Joint Geometry of the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding Process on the Residual Stress and Distortion using the Finite Element Method
Although a few models have been proposed for 3D simulation of different welding processes, 2D models are still more effective in design goals, thus more popular due to the short-time analysis. In this research, replacing "time" by the "third dimension of place", the gas tungsten arc welding process was simulated by the finite element method in two dimensions and in a short time with acceptable ...
متن کاملFinite element simulation of pyroplastic deformation, anisotropic shrinkage and heterogeneous densification for ceramic materials during liquid phase sintering process
Pyroplastic deformation is a distortion of the ceramic shape during the sintering process. It occurs because the flow of the vitreous phase at high temperature and the applied stress due to the weight of the product during sintering process. The aim of this paper deals with describing a numerical-experimental method to evaluate the pyroplastic deformation, to predict the anisotropic shrinkage a...

This paper describes the finite element modelling of air coupled ultrasonic using multiphysics approach. In the model, the two different physics domains were coupled to each other at the interface by using proper boundary conditions for each domain. The simulation result shows that, ultrasonic waves generated in plate structure are leaked to the air medium by creating the pressure wave. The tim...
متن کاملUltrasonic 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. ...
