Ultrasonic Measurement of the Crack Depth and the Crack Opening Stress Intensity Factor Under a No Load ConditionJournal of Nondestructive Evaluation - Tập 23 - Trang 49-63 - 2004
M. Saka, M. A. Salam Akanda
This paper describes a new methodology for evaluating the crack depth and the
crack opening stress intensity factor of small closed cracks using an ultrasonic
technique. Surface connected back-wall cracks of depth ranging from 0.4 to 4.0
mm in steel specimens are considered. The crack corner echo amplitude of an
ultrasonic shear wave, SW, beam of 50° incidence in material is used. First, the
ultra... hiện toàn bộ
Ultrasonic Testing of Corrosion in Aircraft Rivet Using Spiking Neural NetworkJournal of Nondestructive Evaluation - Tập 42 - Trang 1-11 - 2023
Minhhuy Le, Jinyi Lee
This paper proposes a nondestructive testing (NDT) method for the inspection of
corrosion in rivets used in an aircraft. The NDT system uses an ultrasonic
sensor coupling with a membrane that allows the ultrasonic wave propagates
through to the inspecting rivet. The measured signal is then analyzed by a
spiking neural network (SNN), a neural network that mimics the biological
neurons for efficient... hiện toàn bộ
Surface electromagnetic fields around surface flaws in metalsJournal of Nondestructive Evaluation - Tập 5 - Trang 81-93 - 1985
R. Collins, D. H. Michael, D. Mirshekar-Syahkal, H. G. Pinsent
In an earlier paper(3) it was shown mathematically and confirmed by experiment
that when a uniform surface alternating conduction current is incident on a
spherical cap indentation at the surface of a metal there is no perturbation to
the current flow on the plane surface outside the cap. It is shown here that
this result is true of all axisymmetric surface cavities which are interrogated
by any f... hiện toàn bộ
Ultrasonic wave propagation in temperature gradientsJournal of Nondestructive Evaluation - Tập 6 - Trang 147-157 - 1987
John A. Johnson, Nancy M. Carlson, Layman A. Lott
Ultrasonic methods are being developed for sensing and control of high
temperature material processes such as welding and solidification. One of the
problems in these methods is the distortion of the sound field caused by the
change in material properties due to temperature gradients. This paper describes
a ray-tracing method for calculating the effects of temperature on ultrasonic
propagation in ... hiện toàn bộ
A comparison of Q-switched and intensity modulated laser pulses for ultrasonic NDTJournal of Nondestructive Evaluation - Tập 17 - Trang 199-208 - 1998
Terry Sanderson, Charles Ume, Jacek Jarzynski
The purpose of this work was to investigate the potential of intensity modulated
laser pulses for ultrasonic signal enhancement in NDT using a numerical model.
Q-switched lasers produce broadband ultrasound which is susceptible to
measurement noise. Intensity modulation can alleviate this problem by focussing
the ultrasonic energy into a band centered around the modulation frequency.

A Comparison of Machine Learning Methods for the Diagnosis of Motor Faults Using Automated Spectral Feature Extraction TechniqueJournal of Nondestructive Evaluation - Tập 41 - Trang 1-19 - 2022

Centrifugal pumps (CPs) are mainly composed of impeller and bearings. The
operation of the CPs is disturbed if any of its components is faulty. Bearings
faults are reported to be the major reason for pump failures. Condition
monitoring of the CPs helps in early diagnosis and assists to keep machines in
working condition with minimum maintenance costs. Famous non-intrusive
techniques known as motor... hiện toàn bộ
Boundary integral equation methods for two-dimensional models of crack-field interactionsJournal of Nondestructive Evaluation - Tập 7 - Trang 3-14 - 1988
Arnold H. Kahn
An introduction to the application of surface integral equation methods to the
calculation of eddy current-flaw interactions is presented. Two two-dimensional
problems are presented which are solved by the boundary integral equation
method. Application of collocation methods reduces the problems to systems of
linear algebraic equations. The first problem is that of a closed surface crack
in a flat... hiện toàn bộ
Analysing the Probability of Detection of Shallow Spherical Defects by Means of Pulsed ThermographyJournal of Nondestructive Evaluation - Tập 42 - Trang 1-16 - 2023
E D.’Accardi, D Palumbo, V Errico, A Fusco, A Angelastro, U Galietti
The capability of Active Thermography (AT) techniques in detecting shallow
defects has been proved by many works in the last years, both on metals and
composites. However, there are few works in which these techniques have been
used adopting simulated defects more representative of the real ones. The aim of
this work is to investigate the capability of Pulsed Thermography of detecting
shallow sphe... hiện toàn bộ
