Ultrasonic signal acquisition system for TOFD imaging
Abstract This article describes the development of an application to capture and process ultrasonic signals that will lead to the formation of flight time diffraction images, TOFD. In this way the theoretical basis of operation of this technique is presented establishing concepts such as type A and type D scanning.

Detecting contact acoustic nonlinearity in TOFD measurements via quasistatic loading
. In this paper, we propose a novel method to detect and quantify contact acoustic nonlinearity using conventional time of flight diffraction (TOFD) non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, with the aim to improve the sensitivity and robustness of TOFD ...
