摘要： A scanning device is provided. The scanning device includes a frame having a first portion and a second portion pivotably coupled to the first frame portion. The scanning device also includes a couplant source disposed in the first frame portion along with a couplant assembly. The couplant assembly includes a first couplant line disposed completely within the first frame portion and the second frame portion. The couplant assembly also includes a second couplant line extending from the first couplant line and out of the second frame portion at a first end of the second couplant line. The couplant assembly has a couplant line branch extending from the second couplant line where a sensor assembly of the ultrasound scanning device couples with the couplant line branch at an end opposite the second end of the second couplant line.

摘要： Transmit-Receive Longitudinal (TRL) probes can be used for the inspection of noisy material, such as austenitic materials. By using various techniques, an inspection area is not constrained by a wedge design of an ultrasonic probe and the benefits of using a linear probe array (rather than a matrix) are maintained. Volumetric or TFM-like imaging on austenitic materials using a linear transmit array and a linear receive array that are out of plane with one another (a TRL configuration) and not in the main imaging place can simplify the inspection and analysis of such materials. For each scan position, an ultrasound probe can acquire acoustic imaging data. Then, a processor can then combine acquisitions from adjacent scan positions to create an imaging result using synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) principles to recreate a focalization in a passive axis of the probe.

摘要： A couplant feeding circuit is provided. The couplant feeding circuit has a first set of walls extending from a bottom surface and a second set of walls extending from the bottom surface and between the first set of walls. A membrane extends between the first and second set of walls such that the first and second set of walls along with the membrane form a couplant cavity. The couplant feeding circuit also has a couplant port disposed in one of the first or second set of walls that allows routing of couplant to the couplant cavity. Moreover, the couplant feeding circuit also has a vacuum port disposed in one of the first or second set of walls that allows removal of at least a portion of the couplant from the couplant cavity. Furthermore, the couplant port and the vacuum port form a closed loop within the couplant feeding circuit.

摘要： A phase-based approach can be used for one or more of acquisition, storage, or subsequent analysis, e.g., A-scan reconstruction or Total Focusing Method imaging, in support of acoustic inspection. For example, binarization or other quantization technique can be used to compress a data volume associated with time-series signal acquisition. A representation of phase information from the time-series signal can be generated, such as by processing the binarized or otherwise quantized time-series signal. Using the representation of the phase information, a phase summation technique can be used to perform one or more of A-scan reconstruction, such as for pulse-echo A-scan inspection, or a TFM imaging technique can be used, as illustrative examples. In such a phase summation approach, time-series representations of phase data can be summed, such as where each time-series can be delayed (or phase rotated) by an appropriate delay value and then aggregated.

摘要： An eddy current (EC) detection system comprises an EC probe including a plurality of sensors to provide corresponding EC response signals; and processing circuitry to evaluate speed of the EC probe based on a measurement of similarity of the EC response signals; determine whether the speed of the EC probe is too fast or two slow based on quality of the measurement; and generate a command to adjust speed of the EC probe during further EC inspection.

摘要： A wearable inspection device for inspecting an article is provided. The wearable inspection device includes a wearable portion and an eddy current probe at the wearable portion. The eddy current probe is configured to interface with the article and inspect the article. The wearable inspection device also includes an operator interface coupled with the eddy current probe. The eddy current probe can transmit data to the operator interface such that the operator interface can display data to a user. The operator interface also defines a probe status indicator configured to indicate a status of the at least one probe with respect to the article.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for conducting an ultrasonic-based inspection. The systems and methods perform operations comprising: receiving a plurality of scan plan parameters associated with generating an image of at least one flaw within a specimen based on acoustic echo data obtained using full matrix capture (FMC); applying the plurality of scan plan parameters to an acoustic model, the acoustic model configured to determine a two-way pressure response of a plurality of inspection modes based on specular reflection and diffraction phenomena; generating, by the acoustic model based on the plurality of scan plan parameters, an acoustic region of influence (AROI) comprising an acoustic amplitude sensitivity map for a first inspection mode amongst the plurality of inspection modes; and generating, for display, a first image comprising the AROI associated with the first inspection mode for capturing or inspecting the image of the at least one flaw.

摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for conducting an ultrasonic-based inspection. The systems and methods perform operations comprising: receiving, by one or more processors, data indicative of a detected tag on a specimen, the tag associated with one or more ultrasonic-based inspections that were previously performed on the specimen; retrieving, by the one or more processors, based on the detected tag, configuration data for a non-destructive testing (NDT) instrument, the configuration data being associated with the one or more ultrasonic-based inspections that were previously performed on the specimen; generating, by the one or more processors, new configuration data for the NDT instrument to perform a new inspection of the specimen at least in part using the received configuration data; and performing the new inspection of the specimen based on spatially positioning the NDT instrument relative to a position of the tag on the specimen.

摘要： Acoustic data, such as a full matrix capture (FMC) matrix, can be reconstructed by applying a previously trained decoder machine learning model to one or more encoded acoustic images, such as the TFM image(s), to generate reconstructed acoustic data. A processor can use the reconstructed acoustic data, such as an FMC matrix, to recreate new encoded acoustic images, such as TFM image(s), using different generation parameters (e.g., acoustic velocity, part thickness, acoustic mode, etc.)

摘要： A shoe for analyzing a component is provided. The shoe includes a housing, a NDT probe disposed on a side of the housing, and a shoe interface. The shoe interface is disposed at the side of the housing and contacts the component during the analyzing of the component. The shoe interface separates the NDT probe from the component during the analyzing of the component and moves along the component during the analyzing of the component. The shoe also includes first and second wear indicators. The first wear indicator indicates that the shoe interface is usable during the analyzing of the component. The second wear indicator indicates that the shoe interface should be replaced. Both of the wear indicators are configured similar to the shoe interface and move along the component while the shoe analyzes the component.
