Abstract
Ultrasonic guided wave inspection is expanding rapidly to many different areas of manufacturing and in-service inspection. The purpose of this paper is to provide a vision of ultrasonic guided wave inspection potential aswe move forward into the new millennium. An increased understanding of the basic physics and wave mechanics associated with guided wave inspection has led to an increase in practical nondestructive evaluation and inspection problems. Some fundamental concepts and a number of different applications that are currently being considered will be presented in the paper along with a brief description of the sensor and software technology that will make ultrasonic guided wave inspection commonplace in the next century.

Simulation studies on a genetic algorithm based tomographic reconstruction using time-of-flight data from ultrasound transmission tomography

TL;DR: The proposed GA based reconstruction algorithm is described and the results for a number of cases are discussed, showing that the reconstruction times and number of unknowns bears a near quadratic relation enabling the prediction of reconstruction times when dealing with higher resolutions.
