Popis: The crack reconstruction method presented here employs a ray-tracing field code described in another session of this conference [1]. This field code calculates the transducer response to a crack of known geometry by modeling it as a collection of point scattering elements. The model is linear in that the transducer response to a collection of point scattering elements is equal to the sum of the transducer responses of the individual elements. The field code is currently only capable of modeling two-dimensional geometries. In two dimensions a crack is modeled as a linear array of scattering elements. A transducer is similarly modeled as a linear array of point sources. All results discussed in this paper are two-dimensional simulated results; Figure 1 depicts a typical 2-D inspection geometry.
