摘要: A material profile can be determined by assuming an elliptical or circular arc geometry and by using acoustic noise generated by diffuse internal reflection and/or specular reflection on the internal (ID) or external (OD) interface of the material under inspection, such as a pipe or curved plate. A non-destructive testing (NDT) technique can acquire acoustic data of the material using an ultrasonic signal. The acquired acoustic data can be filtered such that the acoustic noise generated by diffuse internal reflection and/or specular reflection is separated from any flaws in the material. Positions of the acoustic noise can be determined and then a regression technique can be applied to the positions, which can generate an equation of a circle, for example, such as to provide a radius and thickness of the pipe or curved plate.

摘要: Techniques for compensating a TFM delay computation live (e.g., during acquisition) as a function of the measured thickness along the scan axis of a probe of an acoustic inspection system. At various scan positions, the acoustic inspection system can measure the thickness of the object under test. With the measured thickness, the acoustic inspection system can compute the delays used for the TFM computation to reflect the actual thickness at that particular scan position of the probe.

摘要: An acoustic inspection system can be used to generate a surface profile of a component under inspection, and then can be used to perform the inspection on the component. The acoustic inspection system can obtain acoustic imaging data, e.g., FMC data, of the component. Then, the acoustic inspection system can apply a previously trained machine learning model to an encoded acoustic image, such as a TFM image, to generate a representation of the profile of one or more surfaces of the component. In this manner, no additional equipment is needed, which is more convenient and efficient than implementations that utilize additional components that are external to the acoustic inspection system.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for detecting a structural defect in additive manufacturing. The method includes: layering a three-dimensional model of an additive manufacturing test piece to obtain a two-dimensional contour of an interface of each layer, and generating a machining path; arranging a non-contact sensor at a fixed measuring point of the additive manufacturing test piece, and acquiring an ultrasonic signal at each machining point when a pulse laser conducts machining point by point along the machining path; forming a visual ultrasonic field based on all the ultrasonic signals, and determining ultrasonic field data; determining, based on the ultrasonic field data, a curve of a peak of an incident wave changing with the machining path; and determining whether a machining defect exists at the machining points based on the curve of the peak of the incident wave changing with the machining path.

摘要: A method of in situ measurement of an acoustoelastic constant (L) of a railway rail, using an ultrasonic wedge sensor to measure a stress-free (unloaded) time-of-flight (t0) in the vertical direction of the rail. Next, a vertical load of known load value is applied to the rail. While the vertical load is applied, the ultrasonic wedge sensor is used to measure a stressed time-of-flight value. The difference between the stress-free and the stressed time-of-flight is calculated to obtain a time-of-flight difference value (Δt). Based on the load value, the stress-free time-of-flight value, and the time-of-flight difference value, the acoustoelastic constant, L, may be calculated. The wedge sensor may be further used to measure the (stressed) horizontal time of flight, and a time-of-flight difference value in the horizontal direction may be used to measure longitudinal stress.

摘要: An apparatus for scanning a cylindrical part is provided. The apparatus includes an ultrasonic transducer operable to emit ultrasonic waves into and receive ultrasonic waves from the part, with the ultrasonic transducer connected to a translation stage to move it up and down the part and around the circumference of the part. The apparatus does not mechanically contact the cylindrical or maintains contact only with soft elements, such that the apparatus does not damage sensitive parts. The apparatus also contains no magnetic parts, nor any elements that rely on magnetic detection, such that the apparatus is capable of being used in the vicinity of a part exhibiting a strong magnetic field.
