    摘要: A method of imaging a test subject includes providing one or more moveable sensors to sense an attribute of the test subject (e.g., acoustic pressure), wherein the attribute has a tonal noise component and a broadband noise component. A rotational sensor is provided to sense a rotational velocity of a rotational element of the test subject. Each of the moveable sensors are moved along a path while continuously acquiring test data that is indicative of the rotational velocity of the rotational element, the sensed attribute, the position, and the orientation of each of the moveable sensors. A set of transfer functions corresponding to points in space that have been visited by the moveable sensors are constructed, each of the transfer functions relating the test data of the moveable sensors to the test data of the rotational sensor. A visual representation of the tonal noise component of the attribute in a region adjacent the test subject is produced using the set of transfer functions.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed herein in which multi-level square wave excitation signals are used instead of or in addition to fully-analog excitation signals to drive an array of transceiver elements to create a sound field. Use of multi-level square wave excitation signals produces acceptable transceiver output with reduced complexity, cost, and/or power consumption as compared with use of fully-analog excitation signals. In addition, use of such signals facilitates system implementation using application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) and is not as restricted in voltage level and speed. At the same time, the benefits and applications of fully-analog excitation signals (e.g., acoustic holography, beam superposition, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvements, suppression of parasitic modes, increased material penetration, potential for coded pulsing algorithms and suppression of side lobes in ultrasonic field) can still be achieved with multi-level square wave excitation signals.

    摘要: An acoustically generated image includes only selected acoustical components. When an original acoustic signal interacts with an object, the resultant acoustic signal comprises a diffracted component and an undiffracted component. The acoustical images of the present invention are generated with either the diffracted component only or the undiffracted component only. In an alternative embodiment, the acoustically generated image may comprise selected frequency component(s) from the diffracted component of the acoustic signal.

    摘要: The fault-containing area to be inspected is insonified by means of an ultrasonic transducer with a space-limited beam which is displaced in stepwise manner, the signals coming from the successively insonified areas being detected by several receivers, the phases and amplitudes of the signals being determined and the reconstitution of the area to be inspected performed. There is a main image of the fault and also parasitic images thereof. The number of receivers is chosen in such a way that the distance between the parasitic images and the main image exceeds the width of the area insonified by the transmitter and the reconstitution is only carried out in the insonified areas having given rise to a signal in order to eliminate the parasitic images. Application to the non-destructive inspection of mechanical parts.

    摘要: An automatic hybrid holograhic non-destructive testing (HNDT) method and system capable of detecting flaws or debonds contained within certain materials. This system incorporates the techniques of optical holography, acoustical/optical holography and holographic correlation in determining the structural integrity of a test object. An automatic processing system including a detector and automatic data processor is used in conjunction with the three holographic techniques for correlating and interpreting the information supplied by the non-destructive systems. The automatic system also includes a sensor which directly translates an optical data format produced by the holographic techniques into electrical signals and then transmits this information to a digital computer for indicating the structural properties of the test object. The computer interprets the data gathered and determining whether further testing is necessary, as well as the format of this new testing procedure.

    摘要: An acoustical imaging system wherein an acoustic beam projected through a transmission medium is modified (scattered) by a subject therein and impinges upon one side of an acousto-optic interface. The other side of this interface is made concave and mirror-surfaced to reflect an illuminating laser beam. The acousto-optic interface is "composite," being fabricated from an epoxy matrix with a multitude of tiny spherular capsules, or "microballons" distributed therein to thereby match the acoustic impedance of this interface to that of the transmission medium.
