چکیده

A line-focus ultrasonic SH-wave probe is developed for possible application to TOFD method. The probe is composed of a quarteror half-cylindrical wedge and a piezoelectric transducer adhered to the cylindrical surface of the wedge. An SH-wave pulse with cylindrical wave front is generated by the transducer, transmitted to the wedge, and focused on a line at the bottom surface of the wedge. Hence, the SH-wave is incident on the specimen surface at all angles from zero to 90 degrees simultaneously. The directivity of the probe is examined and compared with that of the line-focus P-wave probe developed previously.

Development and Application of Contact-type Line-focus Ultrasonic Probe

A contact-type line-focus ultrasonic probe has been developed. The probe is composed of a quarter cylindrical wedge and a piezoelectric transducer attached to its cylindrical surface. A key feature of the developed probe is that longitudinal wave is incident to the testing object at all angles from 0° to 90° simultaneously. Basic characteristics of the probe have been examined by visualizing ul...

Liquid sensor probe using reflecting SH-SAW delay line

A new liquid sensor probe has been designed by using SH-SAW device. Shear horizontal mode surface acoustic wave (SH-SAW) has a unique characteristic of complete reflection at the free edges of the substrate. The SH-SAWare excited on a 368 YX LiTaO3 and the right angle edge of the substrate has been used to reflect the SAW. Multi-channel reflecting SAW delay lines were constructed on the substra...

Acoustic Characteristics of Fatigued Aluminum Alloy Using Ultrasonic Shear Waves

Cyclic-tension fatigue of aluminum alloy, Al-4Cu-1Mg, was determined by an analysis of diffracted SH and SV waves, passing through the surface and reflecting the bottom of the specimen, respectively. The internal friction of SV waves begins to increase from fatigue damage ratio(=N/Nf) of 0.5. This suggests increase of movable dislocation. From the analysis of SH waves, the logarithmic damping r...

Development of Ultrasonic Wave Nondestructive Inspection Robot without Coupling Medium Using Emat

The ultrasonic wave is applied as an inspection method for the gas-holder and the pipeline in service. In such an inspection, the application of an automatic inspection system is desirable, because a manual inspection is difficult to accomplish perfectly and exactly due to its enormity, a so-called nondestructive inspection robot is then preferable. However, an ultrasonic nondestructive inspect...

[The development of ultrasonic diagnostic equipment for dental use].

When a dentist prepares a vital tooth, it is very important to know the distance between the prepared surface and the pulp chamber wall, and now we have developed ultrasonic diagnostic equipment which can indicate the nearness of these two boundaries by measuring the thickness of the remaining dentin. This equipment can be used to measure the thickness of the remaining dentin between the prepar...
