摘要: Method and system are disclosed for characterizing and quantifying composite laminate structures. The method and system take a composite laminate of unknown ply stack composition and sequence and determine various information about the individual plies, such as ply stack, orientation, microstructure, and type. The method and system distinguishes between weave types that exhibit similar planar stiffness behaviors, but which produce different failure mechanisms. Individual ply information then is used to derive the laminate bulk properties from externally provided constitutive properties of the fiber and matrix, including extensional stiffness, bending-extension coupling stiffness, bending stiffness, and the like. The laminate bulk properties are then used to generate a probabilistic failure envelope for the composite laminate. This provides the ability to perform non-destructive QA to ensure that individual lamina layup was accomplished according to specifications, and results are used to identify numerous laminate properties beyond purely structural ones.

摘要: A damage evaluation device includes: a phased array probe that irradiates an ultrasonic signal from a surface of an inspection metal toward an inside of the inspection metal and detects a reflection signal reflected in a predetermined region inside the inspection metal; and an arithmetic processor. The arithmetic processor sets planes parallel to each other in an inspection region, calculates pixel data by quantifying the reflection signal from segments set in each of the planes; calculates a scattering degree of the pixel data, and evaluates damage of the inspection metal based on the scattering degree.

摘要: A calibration method includes receiving data characterizing a plurality of acoustic signals reflected by a defect in a target object, and a first depth of the defect relative to a surface of the target object. A first acoustic signal and a second acoustic signal are detected by a detector at a first location and a second location, respectively, on the surface of the target object. The plurality of acoustic signal includes the first acoustic signal and the second acoustic signal. The method also includes determining an envelope function based on at least the first acoustic signal and the second acoustic signal. The method further includes identifying a target distance between the detector and the defect. The target distance is associated with a peak value of the envelop function. The method also includes calculating a detection angle based on the target distance and the first depth of the defect.

摘要: A transient-based time reversal (TR) technique for acoustic imaging of a pressurized water supply pipeline is provided. Measured multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) imaging data at high frequency (10kH-100 kHz) are processed by an adapted Time Reversal-MUltiple SIgnal Classification (TR-MUSIC) algorithm to provide a high-resolution image of a pipeline section about 100 m long. The resultant image reveals the pipe wall inner and outer condition, and incipient and existing defects at a scale up to millimeters. The technique is tested and validated in a laboratory environment and in a large-scale facility on pressurized water-filled viscoelastic high-density polyethylene pipes. Furthermore, the technique can be applied to different fluids and pipe materials. In addition, the technique is computationally efficient, and nondestructive. The technique requires only local intrusion for placing transducers at an access point.

摘要: A device and method used to log images of cylindrical fluid filled tubulars with ultrasound transducers. The transducers operate as phased arrays, insonifying the conduit at plural angles. Reflections from the conduit form images that are combined to create a compound image or correct eccentricity. The frame rate is sped up by defocusing the transmitted beam. This allows the device to log very long pipelines, wells or other tubulars with very high resolution.

摘要: A compact portable ultrasonic inspection apparatus and method of non-destructive inspection of an object. A probe of the apparatus has a stationary cavity frame assembly with an agile ultrasound stylus, being a transducer and an acoustic coupling member, located therein and on which a motion system induces random or controlled motion of the stylus, to pivot the transducer about a point where the coupling member contacts a surface to be inspected. Three landing elements surround the coupling member, configured to hold the frame assembly to the surface. A sequence of oblique angle ultrasound measurements collected at measured transducer orientations generate polar scans of backscattered acoustic energy from within the object and automatically derive geometric measurements and/or ascertain internal health-condition information about the object. The apparatus finds application in-situ non-destructive testing (NDT) inspection of anisotropic or composite materials used in safety-critical objects or structures.

摘要: The invention discloses methods for simultaneously measuring various properties of a fluid using a waveguide. The method includes transmitting a plurality of wave modes into the fluid using an ultrasonic shear wave transducer from one end of a waveguide. Further, the wave modes are reflected from the other end of the waveguide. The reflected wave modes are processed simultaneously. The time of flight and the amplitude of the received wave modes are determined. Further, one or more properties of the fluid are measured using determined time of flight and amplitude of the received wave modes. The disclosed method is used to accurately measure the properties of fluid such as level, density, viscosity or flow rate in a short period of time.

摘要: Systems and methods for inspecting or characterizing samples, such as by characterizing patterned features or structures of the sample. In an aspect, the technology relates to a method for characterizing a patterned structure of a sample. The method includes directing a pump beam to a first position on a surface of the sample to induce a surface acoustic wave in the sample and directing a probe beam to a second position on the sample, where the probe beam is affected by the surface acoustic wave when the probe beam reflects from the surface of the sample. The method also includes detecting the reflected probe beam, analyzing the detected reflected probe beam to identify a frequency mode in the reflected probe beam, and based on the identified frequency mode, determining at least one of a width or a pitch of a patterned feature in the sample.

摘要: An apparatus and method are disclosed for detecting a bonding defect occurring during an ultrasonic wire bonding process between a battery cell and a busbar connected to each other by ultrasonic wire bonding. A bonding parameter collector, coupled to an ultrasonic wire bonding machine, may collect ultrasonic bonding parameters continuously during the ultrasonic wire bonding process, machine learning training may be performed by a convolutional neural network, and a bonding defect may be detected based thereon.
