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.

Ultrasonic Inspection of Surface Defects on Cold Rolled Steel Strip
Utilizing of ultrasonic method was studied for inspecting of surface defects on cold rolled steel strip.When the ultrasonic wave is projected in the water against surface of steel strip keeping proper projecting angle, the total reflection occures on the surface.But there occurs irregular reflection on parts where there are any defects or flaws and ...

Oil film measurement in polytetrafluoroethylene-faced thrust pad bearings for hydrogenerator applications [PDF]
There is a growing trend in the replacement of the babbit facing in thrust pad bearings with a composite polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surface layer. The PTFE-faced bearings have been shown to allow a greater specific pressure, reduce thermal crowning ...

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