Shear horizontal (SH) ultrasound wave propagation around smooth corners [PDF]

, 2014
Shear horizontal (SH) ultrasound guided waves are being used in an increasing number of non-destructive testing (NDT) applications. One advantage SH waves have over some wave types, is their ability to propagate around curved surfaces with little energy ...

Venting in the comparative study of flexural ultrasonic transducers to improve resilience at elevated environmental pressure levels [PDF]

, 2020
The classical form of a flexural ultrasonic transducer is a piezoelectric ceramic disc bonded to a circular metallic membrane. This ceramic induces vibration modes of the membrane for the generation and detection of ultrasound.

Ultrasonic fingerprinting by phased array transducer

IOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
Increasing quantity of spent nuclear fuel that must be under national and international control requires a novel approach to safeguard techniques and equipment. One of the proposed approaches is utilize intrinsic features of casks with spent fuel. In this article an application of a phased array ultrasonic method is considered.

Surface Tension Measurement of Ti‐6Al‐4V by Falling Droplet Method in Oxygen‐Free Atmosphere

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this article, the temperature‐dependent surface tension of free falling, oscillating Ti‐6Al‐4V droplets is investigated in both argon and monosilane doped, oxygen‐free atmosphere. Droplet temperature and oscillation are captured with one single high‐speed camera, and the surface tension is calculated with Rayleigh's formula.

Optimization Design of Phased Array Ultrasonic Transducer Arrays

DEStech Transactions on Computer Science and Engineering, 2018
The design and selection of the transducer array parameters directly affect the performance of the audio directional transmission system. In this paper, the influence of the number of array element, the pitch, the frequency and the deflection angle on the array directivity is analyzed in detail.
