    摘要: To achieve improved ultrasonic testing coverage of a finished machined component, the present invention applies a method for modifying a finished machine component forging for ultrasonic inspection. A forging envelope may be constructed in the shape of a right circular cylinder that surrounds a machine component forging. Then material may be added to the forging envelope in the direction of the forging equal to about 2 times a wavelength of an ultrasonic inspection device. Additional material may then be added to an inspection surface of the forging envelope equal to the dimension of a transducer dead zone, if the forging cannot be inspected ultrasonically from two opposing surfaces in the forged direction. Lastly, material may be added to the forging envelope in a direction perpendicular to the forging direction equal to a transducer footprint plus the break edge radius.

    摘要: A method for non-destructively inspecting a composite structure with a single ultrasonic transducer includes determining a calibration amplitude of ultrasonic transmissions emitted by the single ultrasonic transducer to a reflector in a fluid-filled immersion tank and received back at the single ultrasonic transducer. The method also includes inserting the composite structure into the fluid-filled immersion tank between the reflector and the single ultrasonic transducer. In addition, the method includes scanning the composite structure with the single ultrasonic transducer to measure ultrasonic amplitudes for sound waves traveling through the composite structure, reflecting off the reflector plate and then traveling back through the structure to the single ultrasonic transducer. The measured ultrasonic amplitudes are corrected using the calibration amplitude and other measured transmission losses, and the corrected ultrasonic amplitudes are utilized to generate either or both a digital image showing porosity or a measurement of porosity of the composite structure.

    摘要: A system and method for determining wedge tightness in a dynamoelectric machine is provided. The dynamoelectric machine includes a rotor, stator and a wedge assembly having at least one wedge for retaining a coil. The system includes a force application device for applying a predetermined force or a known quantity of force to a wedge, and the force is applied in a substantially radial direction. A measuring device for measuring movement of the wedge, measures a movement distance relative to a surface of an adjacent core surface. The system can be inserted between the rotor and the stator, and the movement distance is obtained by evaluating a distance to an adjacent core surface and a distance to a surface of the wedge.
