Journal ArticleDOI
A new magnetic configuration for a small in-plane electromagnetic acoustic transducer applied to laser-ultrasound measurements: Modelling and validation
TL;DR: In this article, an enhanced in-plane electromagnetic acoustic transducer (EMAT) was presented for detecting laser-generated ultrasound. But instead of using post-processing of numerical data to enhance signal-to-noise, the authors describe a new EMAT design to increase the magnetic flux density applied to the sample.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling of magnetic fields to enhance the performance of an in-plane EMAT for laser-generated ultrasound
TL;DR: It was establish that the EMAT's in-plane sensitivity increased, while the frequency bandwidth improvement factor was about 1.9+/-0.2, and it was demonstrated that added elements such as cables may have a deleterious effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graphite anisotropy measurements using laser-generated ultrasound
B. Dutton,Richard Dewhurst +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used laser ultrasound measurements of graphite to detect graphite degradation and found that acoustic birefringence has been observed in high porosity graphite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anisotropy measurements in metal alloys using a laser/electromagnetic acoustic transducer array system
B. Dutton,Richard Dewhurst +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a transient Rayleigh pulse and an eight-element electromagnetic transducer array to measure anisotropy in metal alloys using an uncertainty of 0.1%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser/EMAT measurement systems for materials evaluation
Richard Dewhurst,B. Dutton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized Radon transform (GRT) was used to automatically determine the depth and location of back-surface artificial defects from B-scan images, which can be used to quantify inhomogeneities in metal alloys.
