摘要: A method for examining the interior material of an object from a proximal surface of the object using ultrasound, wherein the method comprises processing receiving signals generated by a plurality of the ultrasound receivers in order to determine, according to the principle of inverse wave field extrapolation, where in the interior material of the object reflections and/or diffractions of a transmitted first ultrasound signal occurred, wherein the processing is based on at least one predetermined virtual grid of positions in a predetermined area of interest, the virtual grid being defined along a series of grid lines which extend along respective directions, of which at least a first one corresponds to an estimated local direction of a spatial gradient of ultrasound travel time from the at least first ultrasound transmitter to one or more of the plurality of ultrasound receivers.

摘要: A method of detecting and characterizing a defect in an object is described. The method comprises implementing comb-like pattern transducers upon the object to be tested, where each comb-like pattern transducer comprises array of source elements is periodically placed, selectively activating at least a group of source elements of the first comb-like pattern transducer to generate one or more guided waves. The method further comprises transmitting the one or more guided waves from the first end of the object, receiving at least a portion of the one or more guided waves at the second comb-like pattern transducer, and receiving a remaining portion of the one or more guided waves at the first comb-like pattern transducer, analyzing the one or more received guided waves to determine a cut-off frequency, calculating a remnant thickness value based on the cut-off frequency, and detecting and characterizing the defect in the object based on the remnant thickness value.

摘要: One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a synchronized actuation system for holding samples (e.g., battery cells) in place such that ultrasonic sensors can make physical contacts with the samples to transmit and receive acoustic signals across the samples for purposes of making ultrasound measurements of the battery sample. The movement of sensors on both sides of a sample can be synchronized (as opposed to being handled via independent actuators) to improve signal repeatability.

摘要: The present application relates to a liquid transfer system capable of using ultrasonic sound signals to transfer liquid samples from a first container to a second container as well as using ultrasonic sound signals to measure the characteristics of both the liquid and the first container. The system uses a transducer to transmit a plurality of sound signals and receives a plurality signals reflected off the sample and the bottom wall of the container to measure the liquid and/or container characteristics. The plurality of transmitted sound signals occur during a plurality of transducer positions from the first container in which the system identifies the signal converging on various surfaces of the liquid and/or container, and uses the reflected signals corresponding to those positions to calculate the sample and container characteristics.

摘要: To determine severity of stepwise cracking in a pressurized vessel, a computer system receives an image collection of an area of a circumferential wall of the vessel. The image collection includes images distributed across the area, and represent respective cracks on the wall within the area. From among the images, the computer system identifies subsets of images, each including images of adjacent cracks. For the at least two images in each subset, the computer system determines multiple distances, each between an end of an image in each subset and an end of each other image in a subset. Based on the determined multiple distances, the computer system determines a probability of a crack propagating through cracks in each subset. Based on the crack intensity path determined for each subset of the multiple subsets, the computer system determines an operation to be performed on the vessel.

摘要: A method of testing a part includes placing a first member on a part to be tested. A second member is placed on an opposed surface of the part. One of the members has an ultrasonic transmitter and the other has an ultrasonic receiver. At least one of the members has at least one magnetic element and the other has at least one of a magnetic element or a ferromagnetic metallic element which is attracted to magnets. One of the members moves along the surface of the part such that magnetic attraction causes the other to move along the opposed surface of the part with the one of the members. A controller causes an ultrasonic signal to be sent from the transmitter through the part to be tested which is received by the receiver and then analyzed by an ultrasonic testing machine.

摘要: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for the characterization of a potential microtexture region (MTR) of a sample, component, or the like. The methods may include determining a threshold width of spatial correlation coefficient and/or a threshold spatial correlation coefficient slope for an actual MTR, characterizing a potential MTR as an actual MTR or a defect, characterizing an actual MTR as an acceptable MTR or not, and/or characterizing various components with potential MTRs as defective or not. The characterization may include calculating a width of spatial correlation coefficient and/or a spatial correlation coefficient slope of the potential MTR and comparing the width of spatial correlation coefficient to a threshold width of spatial correlation coefficient and/or comparing the spatial correlation coefficient slope to a threshold spatial correlation coefficient slope for the potential MTR to be characterized as an actual MTR or a defect (crack).

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.
