The use of ultrasonic arrays to detect crack‐like defects is an important area in nondestructive evaluation. The array data, which contains scattered ultrasonic waves from a scatterer, can be used to reconstruct a high resolution image, e.g., using

An industrial application of ultrasonic array imaging is the inspection of austenitic welds with high inhomogeneity and anisotropy. These result in attenuation and perturbation of the signals that adversely affects imaging performance. Here, the effe

The quality of ultrasonic array imagery is adversely affected by uncompensated variations in the medium properties. A method for estimating the parameters of a general model of an inhomogeneous anisotropic medium is described. The model is comprised

Single crystal components are used widely in the gas‐turbine industry. However, these components are elastically anisotropic which causes difficulties when performing NDE inspections with ultrasound. Recently an ultrasonic algorithm for a 2D array

A semi‐analytical finite element model is developed to study the scattering of plane guided waves obliquely incident on a straight geometric feature. The model is first used to investigate the reflection of the S0 mode from a free edge and the resu

The measurement of material non‐linearity using ultrasound is an attractive concept, offering the potential to detect fatigue damage earlier than is possible with conventional techniques. Despite this advantage and much work in the field the curren

The use of ultrasonic arrays to image and size crack‐like defects is an important area in non‐destructive evaluation. The features in the ultrasonic data from a crack‐like defect provide information about the size and orientation angle of the d

Over the past few years, ultrasonic phased arrays have shown good potential for nondestructive testing (NDT), thanks to high resolution imaging algorithms. Many algorithms are based on the full matrix capture, obtained by firing each element of an ul

Autofocus is a methodology for estimating and correcting errors in the assumed parameters of an imaging algorithm. It provides improved image quality and, therefore, better defect detection and characterization capabilities. In this paper, we present
