Detection and Imaging of Corrosion Defects in Steel Structures Based on Ultrasonic Digital Image Processing

open access: yesMetals
Corrosion is one of the critical factors leading to the failure of steel structures. Ultrasonic C-scans are widely used to identify corrosion damage.

Mechanical performance of composite bonded joints in the presence of localised process-induced zero-thickness defects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Processing parameters and environmental conditions can introduce variation into the performance of adhesively bonded joints. The effect of such variation on the mechanical performance of the joints is not well understood.

Non-contact ultrasonic detection of angled surface defects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Non-destructive testing is an important technique, and improvements are constantly needed. Surface defects in metals are not necessarily confined to orientations normal to the sample surface; however, much of the previous work investigating the ...

Scanning laser source and scanning laser detection techniques for different surface crack geometries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Standard test samples typically contain simulated defects such as slots machined normal to the surface. However, real defects will not always propagate in this manner; for example, rolling contact fatigue on rails propagates at around 25º to the surface,

Rapidly quantifying the relative distention of a human bladder [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
A device and method of rapidly quantifying the relative distention of the bladder in a human subject are disclosed. The ultrasonic transducer which is positioned on the subject in proximity to the bladder is excited by a pulser under the command of a ...

Improved scheduling algorithm for signal processing in asynchronous distributed ultrasonic total-focusing-method system.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Compared to the conventional ultrasonic phased-array system, a large-element phased-array system employing the total focusing method (TFM) can yield improved image resolution and accuracy, providing more flexible scanning methods and image merging ...

Defect Detection of Fiberglass Composite Laminates (FGCL) with Ultrasonic A-Scan Signal Measurement

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2016
Fiberglass composite laminates are widely used in many industries, due to its advantages of high specific strength and high specific modulus. Invisible defect such as delamination and inclusion may cause composite structural failure. Therefore, several research on ultrasonic testing for composite material defect detection have been done for the past ...

Application of non destructive testing to the detection of aeronautical defects in composite structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A study of two Non-destructive Testing methods (NDT) was carried out in specimens with different kinds of simulated defects. Ultrasonics test (US) and Infrared Thermography (IRT) were applied with the aim to evaluate the detectability and the accuracy of

Signal Separation in Ultrasonic Non-Destructive Testing

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2007
In ultrasonic non-destructive testing the signals characterizing the material structure are commonly evaluated. The sensitivity and resolution of ultrasonic systems is limited by the backscattering and electronic noise level commonly contained in the ...

Single-session esophagogastroduodenoscopy and endoscopic ultrasound using a forward-viewing radial scan ultrasonic endoscope

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2019
Background Endoscopic ultrasound is useful for obtaining high-resolution images of pancreaticobiliary diseases, but is not readily available for physical checkups.
