Improved Inspection Through Full Matrix Capture Technology

Volume 1: Pipeline and Facilities Integrity, 2020
Abstract The ideal Non Destructive Evaluation/Examination process should be carried out using a fully automated system: planning, execution, evaluation and reporting would be all tasks performed by automated technologies and artificial intelligence that don’t need human intervention, thus taking the Human Factor out of the equation.

Automated full matrix capture for industrial processes

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2015
Full matrix capture (FMC) ultrasound can be used to generate a permanent re-focusable record of data describing the geometry of a part; a valuable asset for an inspection process. FMC is a desirable acquisition mode for automated scanning of complex geometries, as it allows compensation for surface shape in post processing and application of the total ...

Laser ultrasonic imaging of complex defects with full-matrix capture and deep-learning extraction

Ultrasonics, 2023
Phased array-based full-matrix ultrasonic imaging has been the golden standard for the non-destructive evaluation of critical components. However, the piezoelectric phased array cannot be applied in hazardous environments and online monitoring due to its couplant requirement.

Full-matrix capture with a customizable phased array instrument

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2015
In recent years, a technique known as Full-Matrix Capture (FMC) has gained some headway in the NDE community for phased array applications. It's important to understand that FMC is the method that the instrumentation acquires the ultrasonic signals, but further post-processing is required in software to create a meaningful image for a particular ...

THROUGH-WELD ULTRASONIC PHASED ARRAY INSPECTION USING FULL MATRIX CAPTURE

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2010
Rolls‐Royce and Imperial College are developing phased array inspections for welded stainless steel piping with an undressed weld cap. An inspection that proves particularly challenging requires ultrasonic waves to propagate across the irregular weld‐cap profile, and through the structurally complex weld material.

VARIABLE SPLIT APERTURE PROCESSING OF FULL MATRIX CAPTURE PHASED ARRAY DATA

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2011
Work is being conducted to develop phased array inspection of stainless steel welded pipes. Defects can occur anywhere along the weld fusion face. Optimum inspection performance across the entire weld face can be facilitated by collecting data as Full Matrix Capture (FMC) and applying a processing technique that allows focusing to be ideal for every ...

Compressive sensing of ultrasonic array data with full matrix capture in nozzle welds inspection

Ultrasonics, 2023
The phased array ultrasonic technique (PAUT) with full matrix capture (FMC) exhibits the advantages of high imaging accuracy and great defect characterization ability, which play important roles in the nondestructive testing of welded structures. To address the problem of a large amount of signal acquisition, storage, and transmission data in nozzle ...

THE WAVENUMBER ALGORITHM: FAST FOURIER-DOMAIN IMAGING USING FULL MATRIX CAPTURE

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2009
We develop a Fourier‐domain approach to full matrix imaging based on the wavenumber algorithm used in synthetic aperture radar and sonar. The extension to the wavenumber algorithm for full matrix capture is described and the performance of the new algorithm is compared to the total focusing method (TFM), which we use as a representative benchmark for ...

A GPU-Based Portable Phased-Array System with Full-Matrix Capture

2018 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium (IUS), 2018
The widely adopted ultrasound Phased-Array (PA) systems for nondestructive testing (NDT) use standard beamforming for line-by-line image creation. The introduction of the new full-matrix capture (FMC) technique enables the implementation of advanced processing algorithms (e.g. the total focusing method, multi-pass adaptive techniques).
