TLDR
In this paper, the L(0,1) wave mode (pulse echo approach) was generated/received in a spiral waveguide at different temperatures for different temperatures, which was compared with commercially available thermocouples.Abstract:
Distributed temperature sensing has important applications in the long term monitoring of critical enclosures such as containment vessels, flue gas stacks, furnaces, underground storage tanks and buildings for fire risk. This paper presents novel techniques for such measurements, using wire in a spiral configuration and having special embodiments such a notch for obtaining wave reflections from desired locations. Transduction is performed using commercially available Piezo-electric crystal that is bonded to one end of the waveguide. Lower order axisymmetric guided ultrasonic modes were employed. Time of fight (TOF) differences between predefined reflectors located on the waveguides are used to infer temperature profile in a chamber with different temperatures. The L(0,1) wave mode (pulse echo approach) was generated/received in a spiral waveguide at different temperatures for this work. The ultrasonic measurements were compared with commercially available thermocouples.read more

A novel waveguide technique for the simultaneous measurement of temperature dependent properties of materials
TL;DR: In this paper, a method and a system for measuring mechanical properties of a solid material using standard ultrasonic wave modes characterized in the solid material which forms the wave guide encased a fluid media, particularly at high temperatures, with an ultrasonic transducer placed at one end of a wave guide and to generate multiple wave modes which travel in different path along with the length and reflected a set of corresponding sensors for detecting the amplitude and time of flights.

Elastic waves in helical waveguides
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system that is translationally invariant along the helix centerline is proposed, so that a Fourier transform is explicitly performed and the problem is reduced to two dimensions.
