Tangential Homology for Defect Detection in the Time of Flight Diffraction Method (TOFD) [PDF]

open access: yesPAMM, 2016
AbstractUltrasonic non‐destructive testing (NDT) techniques are widely used in industry to evaluate properties of a component, material or system without causing any damage. The time of flight diffraction method (TOFD) is regarded as a valuable procedure for the detection of welding defects.

Identification of nonregular indication according to change of grain size/surface geometry in nuclear power plant (NPP) reactor vessel (RV)-upper head alloy 690 penetration

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology, 2017
During the fabrication process of reactor vessel head penetration (RVHP), the grain size of the tube material can be changed by hot or cold work and the inner side of the tube can also be shrunk due to welding outside of the tube. Several nonregular time-

Ultrasonic Flaw Imaging via Multipath Exploitation

open access: yesAdvances in Acoustics and Vibration, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
We consider ultrasonic imaging for the visualization of flaws in a material. Ultrasonic imaging is a powerful nondestructive testing (NDT) tool which assesses material conditions via the detection, localization, and classification of flaws inside a structure. We utilize reflections of ultrasonic signals which occur when encountering different media and

Automated detection of weld defects in TOFD images for steel bridges using generative adversarial networks

open access: yesCase Studies in Construction Materials
Time-of-flight diffraction (TOFD) has been widely adopted for weld defect detection in bridge steel quality assurance due to its harmlessness to the human body, real-time performance, and satisfactory detection accuracy.
