摘要:
A method of inspecting a radius area of composite parts with an ultrasonic inspection system, the system includes at least one ultrasonic probe, an upper sliding surface, a lower sliding surface, an adjustable guide rail, and an adjustable encoder wheel rotatably coupled to a rotary encoder, is provided. The method includes generating a high frequency sound wave using the probe including a radius of curvature extending from a center point, the sound wave travels partially through the part, adjusting the guide rail to align the center point of the probe with a center axis of a part corner portion, sliding the part through the inspection system to inspect the corner portion using the sound wave by rotating the wheel and rotary encoder such that the arcuate distance of the part is recorded, adjusting the wheel to avoid any apertures defined within the part, and processing the sound wave information.
摘要:
An apparatus for inspecting a tubular workpiece (200) may include a probe assembly (150) and a rotation mechanism (122). The probe assembly (150) may include a transducer array (150) positionable adjacent to an inner surface of the tubular workpiece (200). The probe assembly (150) may generate transmitted sound waves and may receive reflected sound waves. The rotation mechanism (122) may rotate the probe assembly (150) relative to the tubular workpiece (200) in a manner such that the transducer array (150) passes over the inner surface (214) in a circumferential direction (180) during transmission of the transmitted sound waves (166).
摘要:
A computer implemented method, or hardware filtration apparatus, and computer usable program code for measuring porosity in materials. An ultrasonic signal is emitted from a transmitting transducer in an ultrasonic measurement system into a material. A response signal is received at a receiving transducer in the ultrasonic measurement system from the material. The response signal is filtered to pass only frequencies in the response signal within a selected frequency range to form a filtered response signal. A porosity level of the material is identified using the filtered response signal.

A geometry compensating transducer attachment for ultrasonic inspection of a structure includes a geometry-compensating structure having at least one angled surface configured to engage the structure to be inspected, and the geometry-compensating structure having an acoustic velocity generally matching an acoustic velocity of the structure to be inspected (Fig. 1).
摘要:
An ultrasonic inspection device employs a transducer incorporating an ultrasonic array and a positioner/holder having a base with a rail extending from the base to support the transducer in at least two lateral positions. A guide extends from the base for contact with a web of a composite shape, the guide maintaining the rail substantially perpendicular to the web. An encoder supported by the base and contacts a flange of the composite shape. The Positioner/holder is adapted for longitudinal motion along the composite shape to create C-scans with the transducer.
