Phased electromagnetic acoustic transducer array for Rayleigh wave surface defect detection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A phased electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) array system has been developed for detection and characterisation of surface breaking defects. An array of four linear coils which are individually controlled are used to generate a Rayleigh wave.

Characterization of Ultrasound Energy Diffusion Due to Small-Size Damage on an Aluminum Plate Using Piezoceramic Transducers

open access: yesSensors, 2017
During the propagation of ultrasonic waves in structures, there is usually energy loss due to ultrasound energy diffusion and dissipation. The aim of this research is to characterize the ultrasound energy diffusion that occurs due to small-size damage on

Multiple wavemode scanning for near and far-side defect characterisation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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 ...

Modeling Magnetostrictive Transducers for Structural Health Monitoring: Ultrasonic Guided Wave Generation and Reception

open access: yesSensors, 2021
Ultrasonic guided waves provide unique capabilities for the structural health monitoring of plate-like structures. They can detect and locate various types of material degradation through the interaction of shear-horizontal (SH) waves and Lamb waves with

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,

Deciphering acoustic emission signals in drought stressed branches: the missing link between source and sensor [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
When drought occurs in plants, acoustic emission (AE) signals can be detected, but the actual causes of these signals are still unknown. By analyzing the waveforms of the measured signals, it should, however, be possible to trace the characteristics of ...
