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...

Thick (>50μm) piezoelectric ceramic films have been deposited directly onto metal substrates as integrated ultrasonic transducer (IUT) receivers to detect the laser generated ultrasound. The film fabrication is based on a sol-gel spray technique. In this investigation IUTs intrinsically acting as bulk longitudinal wave receivers use various mode conversion approaches and serve as longitudinal, ...

The present study is concerned with the variational principle and plane wave propagation in double porous thermoelastic infinite medium. Lord-Shulman theory [2] of thermoelasticity with one relaxation time has been used to investigate the problem. It is found that for two dimensional model, there exists four coupled longitudinal waves namely longitudinal wave (P), longitudinal thermal wave (T),...

Ultrasonic testing is a versatile and important nondestructive testing method. In many industrial applications, ultrasonic testing is carried out at relatively high temperatures. Since the ultrasonic w...

Ultrasonic measuring technique is widely using for diagnosis of osteoporosis because of its safety. A precise simulation, however, is not reported, because the behavior of ultrasonic pulse propagated in a human bone is very complicated. In this paper, ultrasonic pulse propagation in bone phantom is analyzed using elastic Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. This proposed method treats n...

Doped piezoceramic lead zircanate titanate has been characterized in the frequency range of 20–60 MHz using ultrasonic spectroscopy. Theoretical analyses were performed for the reflection and refraction of acoustic waves at the interface of water-piezoelectric ceramic. The incident directions of the wave were chosen to be appropriate for ultrasonic spectroscopy measurements. Shear wave spectrum...

The propagation of low intensity ultrasound in a curing resin, acting as a high frequency oscillatory excitation, has been recently proposed as an ultrasonic dynamic mechanical analysis (UDMA) for cure monitoring. The technique measures sound velocity and attenuation, which are very sensitive to changes in the viscoelastic characteristics of the curing resin, since the velocity is related to th...

A low-frequency ultrasonic method presented in this paper is suitable for measuring any one of the four characteristic parameters, i.e., thickness, density, shear, and longitudinal wave velocities, of a thin elastic layer given the remaining three. Thickness of the thin layer is much smaller than the longitudinal wavelength of the ultrasonic wave used in the experiments. The method employs the ...
