Ultrasonic Examination of Fiber Reinforced Plastics Using Phased Array Transducers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a data fusion method between the results of ultrasound using phased array at 5MHz frequency and those obtained through eddy current examination at 1-10MH frequency. The obtained results are compared with destructive tests, a very good correlation being obtained. The effects of delamination over the properties of CFRP are studied using dynamic mechanical analyzer, emphasizing the effects of imprecision in the nondestructive characterization of CFRP over the principal mechanical properties.

Optimization of phased-array transducers for ultrasonic inspection in composite materials using sliding probes
The increasing use in the industries of composite materials implies finding a suitable way for testing and evaluating them. Non-destructive testing by ultrasounds is an appropriate method to detect defects in this type of materials, however, because of their structure it is required to find the most applicable and accurate process for detecting flaws and anomalies in them. For conventional ultr...

متن کاملOptimization of Ultrasonic Phased Arrays
Ultrasonic phased arrays are an emerging technology in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications. A phased array is a multi-element piezo-electric device whose elements are individually excited by electric pulses at programmed delay times [1]. Such a delay scheme allows electronically controlled dynamic beam control. One of the advantages of using phased arrays in NDE applications over conve...
متن کاملEnhanced Differential Methods for Guided Wave Phased Array Imaging Using Spatially Distributed Piezoelectric Transducers
A number of tomographic and phased-array methods have been proposed for generating two dimensional images of plate-like structures using sparse arrays of spatially distributed ultrasonic transducers. The phased array differential approach is considered here whereby pulse echo and through transmission signals are recorded before and after localized damaged is introduced, and differenced signals ...
