Ultrasonic total focusing method for internal defects in composite insulators
Insight - Non-Destructive Testing and Condition MonitoringIn order to address the problem of poor imaging detection of internal defects caused by the multi-layer curved surface structure and strongly attenuating material of composite insulators, the total focusing method (TFM) with two-layer curved surface correction was investigated.

Real-Time Total Focusing Method for Ultrasonic Imaging of Multilayered Object
2018 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP), 2018In imaging of multilayered object, total focusing method (TFM) combined with ray-tracing appeals to numerous researchers because of its superior image quality. But lots of iterative computation to calculate the incident points greatly increases its processing time.

Dijkstra’s algorithm-based ray tracing method for total focusing method imaging of CFRP laminates
Composite Structures, 2019Abstract Accurate determination of ultrasonic travel time from a start point to an end point with known positions is fundamental to the application of total focusing method (TFM) to ultrasonic array imaging. However, this is particularly challenging for CFRP laminates whose wave propagation is complex due to material anisotropy and refractive ply ...

Total Focusing Method With Virtual Sources in the Presence of Unknown Geometry Interfaces
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2016Auto-focused virtual source imaging (AVSI) has been recently presented as an alternative method for synthetic aperture focusing through arbitrarily shaped interfaces with arrays. This paper extends the AVSI concept to the case of the total focusing method (TFM-AVSI) using several virtual receivers for each virtual source.

The post-processing of ultrasonic array data using the total focusing method
Insight - Non-Destructive Testing and Condition Monitoring, 2004The use of ultrasonic arrays for NDT has increased significantly in recent years. This is due to the flexibility of array systems which can be electronically configured to produce plane, focused, steered and steer-focusedbeams. In this way, one array transducer can do the job of many standard single-element transducers.
