Visual geometry Group-UNet: Deep learning ultrasonic image reconstruction for curved parts.
Detecting small defects in curved parts through classical monostatic pulse-echo ultrasonic imaging is known to be a challenge. Hence, a robot-assisted ultrasonic testing system with the track-scan imaging method is studied to improve the detecting ...

Recent advances in the ultrasonic polar scan method for characterizing (degraded) fiber reinforced plastics [PDF]
The ultrasonic polar scan (UPS) technique originated in the 1980's as a sophisticated method for inspecting composites. However, it is only in recent times that the true capabilities and strengths of the UPS methodology have been evidenced through ...

2D size, position and shape definition of defects by B-scan image analysis [PDF]
The non-destructive evaluation of defects by automatic procedures is of great importance for structural components. Thanks to the developments of the non-contact ultrasonic techniques, the automation of the inspections is gaining a progressively ...

Characterisation of contact pressure distribution in bolted joints [PDF]
The quantification of contact area and pressure distribution in a bolted joint is essential information, as it determines the integrity of the coupling. Current bolted joint design standards are based on analytical solutions of the pressure distribution,

A Sparse Reconstruction Algorithm for Ultrasonic Images in Nondestructive Testing
Ultrasound imaging systems (UIS) are essential tools in nondestructive testing (NDT). In general, the quality of images depends on two factors: system hardware features and image reconstruction algorithms.

Numerical simulations in support of the design of an ultrasonic device for sub-assembly identification [PDF]
In this paper, it is shown how numerical simulations can help designing an ultrasonic instrument operating in harsh conditions. To prevent fuel handling errors in sodium cooled fast reactors, the identification of fuel sub-assemblies using ultrasound is ...

Interaction of laser generated ultrasonic waves with wedge-shaped samples [PDF]
Wedge-shaped samples can be used as a model of acoustic interactions with samples ranging from ocean wedges, to angled defects such as rolling contact fatigue, to thickness measurements of samples with non-parallel faces.

Multiple wavemode scanning for near and far-side defect characterisation [PDF]
The combination of ultrasonic inspections using different wavemodes can give more information than is available with single mode inspection. In this work, the response of shear and Rayleigh waves to surface-breaking defects propagating on the near-side ...
