Ultrasonic arrays for non-destructive evaluation: A review
TL;DR: The use of ultrasonic arrays for non-destructive evaluation has been extensively studied in the literature as mentioned in this paper, where the main advantages of arrays are their increased flexibility over traditional single element transducers, and their ability to produce immediate images of the test structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear ultrasonic techniques for nondestructive assessment of micro damage in material: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the overall progress in nonlinear ultrasonic technique with the brief introduction of basic principle in the application of each nonlinear Ultrasonic phenomenon, including higher harmonic generation, subharmonic generation, nonlinear resonance, or mixed frequency response.
Journal ArticleDOI
Defect detection in pipes using guided waves

Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative nondestructive evaluation
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the most important techniques in quantitative ultrasonics, particularly for crack detection and for the determination of elastic constants, is presented, and the important role of measurement models is emphasized.

Embedded non-destructive evaluation for structural health monitoring, damage detection, and failure prevention
Victor Giurgiutiu,Adrian Cuc +1 more
Abstract: In this paper we review the state of the art in an emerging new technology: embedded ultrasonic non-destructive evaluation (NDE). Embedded ultrasonic NDE permits active structural health monitoring, i.e. the on-demand interrogation of the structure to determine its current state of structural health. The enabling element of embedded ultrasonic NDE is the piezoelectric wafer active sensor (PWAS). We begin by reviewing the guided wave theory in plate, tube, and shell structures, with special attention to Lamb waves. The mechanisms of Lamb wave excitation and detection with embeddable PWAS transducers is presented. It is shown analytically and verified experimentally that Lamb wave mode tuning can be achieved by the judicious combination of PWAS dimensions, frequency value, and Lamb mode characteristics. Subsequently, we address in turn the use of pitch-catch, pulse-echo, and phased array ultrasonic methods for Lambwave damage detection. In each case, the conventional ultrasonic NDE results are contrasted with embedded NDE results. Detection of cracks, disbonds, delaminations, and diffuse damage in metallic and composite structures are exemplified. Other techniques, such as the time reversal method and the migration technique, are also presented. The paper ends with conclusions and suggestions for further work.
