The application of antenna arrays (AAs) for obtaining flaw images during automated non-destructive testing is considered.
The conventional technique of using an AA as a phased AA has a number of drawbacks. An alternative approach is proposed in
which echo signals are registered using an AA operating in the double scanning mode, and a modified algorithm of the combined
SAFT, which takes into account multiray ultrasound propagation with consideration of transformations of wave types upon reflections
from irregular boundaries of a test object, is used to obtain flaw images. The results of testing a specimen with a model
of a volumetric flaw in the form of a 2-mm-diameter side hole drilled at a depth of 12 mm and a specimen with a crack model
with a tip at a 12-mm depth are presented. Both specimens have rough bottoms. The obtained images allow determination of not
only the dimensions and locations of flaws, but also their type. 相似文献

The results of application of the double-scanning method for obtaining images of model defects during ultrasonic flaw detection in metals are presented. It has been shown in model experiments that, during reconstruction of flaw images, the amplitudes of parasitic reflections formed by echo signals, which were transformed and repeatedly scattered by inhomogeneities, decrease considerably. These properties of the double-scanning method may be useful in the practice of ultrasonic inspection of heavily loaded objects, especially in the case of the pressing problem of classifying the detected flaws. To identify the type of defects and determine their number accurately, it is desirable to use images obtained in both the double-scanning and transceiver modes. The images obtained during operation of a transducer in these two modes are compared. 相似文献

A 3D variant of the coherent method of projection in the spectral space (PSS) for obtaining images of reflectors on the basis of measured echo signals is considered. Its application allows recon-struction of reflector images with a high frontal resolution in both the main plane of an ultrasonic transducer and an additional plane. The application of the PSS method is especially efficient when a reflector is far from the receiving aperture. In this case, it is possible to increase the signal-to-noise ratio by more than 12 dB and a tenfold increase in the frontal resolution can sometimes be attained as compared to the 2D layer-by-layer variant of the PSS method. Examples of the application of this method during reconstruction of reflector images in a specimen of the wall of a chemical reactor, in the case of multiple reflections from the walls of a welded T-branch with an overlaid plate (WTP), and when testing large-diameter studs and supports of the divertor, which is manufactured as part of the work on the thermonuclear reactor (ITER) project, are presented. The efficiency of applying the 3D variant of the PSS method for testing at large depths is shown. 相似文献

The application of antenna matrices (AMs) for obtaining flaw images during automated nondestructive ultrasonic testing is
considered. The conventional technique of using an AM as a phased AM (PAM) has a number of drawbacks. One of them is related
to the small number of AM elements and consists in a low frontal resolution of the thus-formed images. Scanning with an AM
operating in the double scanning mode, viz., the so-called triple-scanning mode, allows coherent summation of partial images
for each position and obtaining a resulting image with a frontal resolution that cannot be attained with a PAM. In order to
test the serviceability of the proposed algorithm in the CIVA program, echo signals reflected from a crack model with a height
of 6 mm and a length of 30 mm in a tested object, which simulated a welded joint of a pipeline with a conventional diameter
of 800 mm (дy800), were calculated. The results of the reconstruction of images of model objects in the form of a drilled
side hole with a diameter of 6 mm at a depth of 15 mm in a CO-2 specimen and a fatigue crack in a welded joint of a д y800
pipeline are presented. To reduce the influence of reverberation noise, a B-type median template was subtracted from echo
signals. The flaw images that were reconstructed in numerical and model experiments demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed
algorithm. 相似文献

The possibility of the combined application of the extrapolation procedure to the spectrum of echo signals during construction of its AR model and of the algorithm for the production of flaw images using a multibeam method of projection in the spectral space (PSS) for testing cylindrical objects is shown. Improvement of the quality of flaw images due to a significant decrease in the “side lobe” levels in the point-spread function is demonstrated in a model experiment. These methods may prove to be especially efficient for testing metallurgical flaws in wheel pairs of rolling stock, workpieces for turbine rotors, and similar items. 相似文献

Fourier transform synthetic aperture focusing technique (FT-SAFT) from the data of ultrasonic nondestructive testing is considered.
Different interpolation algorithms are analyzed. The results of numerical and model experiments in which images were obtained
with and without interpolation are presented. The efficiency of applying the algorithm proposed for improving the quality

A method of automated ultrasonic testing based on the use of a PAA flaw detector for the recording of echo signals followed by the reconstruction of the image of reflectors by applying the 3D variant of the method of projection in the spectral space (3D-PSS) is considered. Customized setting of the PAA flaw detector makes it possible to simulate the operation of many single-element transducers with different angles of incidence. This approach allows one to obtain the images of reflectors with a high resolution and a high signal-to-noise ratio at a depth of more than 100 mm. A procedure for the calibration of an antenna array on a prism operating in the mode of emulation of several piezoelectric transducers with different angles of incidence is discussed. The results of a testing a fragment of the support billet for the ITER diverter when obtaining the images by the classical PAA method and with the use of 3D processing, which demonstrate the efficiency of the developed testing technology, are presented. 相似文献

Three dimensional Born and Kirchhoff inverse scattering methods are modified to convenient forms for a cylindrical specimen that includes three dimensional defect. One aluminum cylinder with flaw model is prepared and ultrasonic measurements are carried out. The measurement area in the modified methods is restricted in the plane perpendicular to the axis of cylindrical specimen. That is to say that the methods are modified to convenient form to use measured waveforms in the x1–x2 plane. The measured wave data are fed into the inversion method and cross-sectional images are obtained. Then, three dimensional shape reconstruction of flaw model in aluminum specimen is performed by piling up the cross-sectional images. 相似文献

The problem of using an elastic organosilicon polymer (??aquapolymer??) as an immersion medium for providing a stable acoustic contact between a test object and a piezoprobe in the process of automated ultrasonic testing of objects with rough surfaces is considered. The use of an ??aquapolymer?? allows one to decrease the consumption of water during ultrasonic testing. Flaw images were reconstructed using a modification of the SAFT method, which takes the profile of a test object into account; this allows improvement of the image quality. An algorithm for obtaining information on the profile of the surface of a test object and taking this profile into account during reconstruction of flaw images with the SAFT method is proposed. Model experiments yielded flaw images with the refraction of beams on a rough surface taken into account. 相似文献

The question of applying the TANDEM scheme for reconstructing flaw images by the SAFT method is considered. When the reflection
of rays from a bottom is taken into account, it becomes possible to reconstruct the image of a boundary of a vertically oriented
planar flaw. Formulas are proposed for calculating the optimal parameters of the scanning scheme for data collection according
to the TANDEM scheme and the resolution is estimated. It is shown that the depth resolution for images obtained taking into
account the reflection from the bottom is much worse than that for a direct beam. To increase the resolution, it is necessary
to use coherent summation of images obtained for the same test object at different bases. This is confirmed by model experiments. 相似文献

The possibility of using a scheme for separate detection of echo signals for obtaining high-quality flaw images is substantiated. A conventional algorithm for obtaining images by the projection method in the spectral space and an algorithm for obtaining images that is not limited by the approximation of a plane incident wave are considered. Coherent storage of images reconstructed from echo signals, which were detected in a separate scheme but at different positions of the radiator (transmitter), reduces the speckle-noise level and increases the resolution of flaw images. Positive and negative features of these algorithms are analyzed. Numerical and model experiments have demonstrated the feasibilities of different schemes of detecting echo signals for obtaining flaw images. 相似文献

The prospects for applying the double-scanning mode in ultrasonic nondestructive testing for recording echo signals are considered. A variant of implementing the double-scanning mode using a phased antenna array is proposed. Algorithms for reconstructing flaw images by the method of projection in the spectral space and the combined SAFT (C-SAFT) method are presented. It is shown that, to obtain high-quality flaw images, the ultrasound propagation velocity in a tested object must be known to within a high accuracy (at least 0.5%). The results of numerical and model experiments in which images were obtained by these methods are presented. 相似文献

The possibility of applying coherent methods to imaging of flaws in objects with plane-parallel boundaries during ultrasonic inspection is considered. A version of the SAFT method for obtaining flaw images on the basis of one or several echo signals measured in the transceiver mode and the correlation imaging method are considered. A variant of using the maximum-entropy method for obtaining flaw images from measured echo signals is proposed. A substantial advantage of the maximum-entropy method over the SAFT and correlation methods is demonstrated. The results of numerical experiments in which images were obtained with the use of the aforementioned methods are presented. It is shown that the obtainment of high-quality flaw images requires knowledge of the velocity of ultrasound propagation and the object thickness with a low error (no worse than 0.5%). For this purpose, additional measurements must be performed, e.g., in the dual-probe operating mode, which will allow determination of the velocity of sound and the thickness of the tested object. The results of using these methods for obtaining images in model experiments are presented 相似文献

The problem of obtaining flaw images from echo signals multiply reflected from the boundaries of a test object and modifications
of the FT-SAFT and SAFT algorithms for obtaining flaw images in a test object with plane-parallel boundaries are considered.
The reason that a transducer operating on transverse waves in the transceiver mode cannot yield information on flaw location
depth is stated. It is shown that the detecting signals in the double-scanning mode, obtaining a set of partial images by
the SAFT method, and combining them into a final image allow one to solve this problem. To obtain a combined image, the moduli
of partial images were summed and their median was calculated. Because of difficulties in determining the velocity of sound
and the thickness of a particular object, the coherent summation, which is potentially the most efficient combining technique
among the considered ones, does not allow one to obtain a high-quality image. The results of a numerical simulation of the
procedure of obtaining images of point defects are presented. The results of model experiments aimed at obtaining an image
of a 1-mm-deep groove in a 20-mm-thick metal slab are presented as well. It is shown that measuring echo signals in the double-scanning
mode and obtaining images by the DS-M-SAFT method make it possible to determine the flaw location depth. 相似文献

A modification of the SAFT method for obtaining flaw images in test objects containing three regions with different velocities
of sound (SV) is proposed. Complex composite welded joints and repair welds are classified as objects in which the SV in a
welded joint may differ from the velocity in a parent metal by >5%; therefore, a high-quality image of flaws can be obtained
by taking different SVs into account. To solve this problem, a method for obtaining a test object with three regions with
different SVs is proposed. The delays of propagating ultrasonic pulses were calculated using the Fermat principle. The results
of reconstructing flaw images in a 300 welded joint from echo signals obtained as a result of numerical simulation by the
finite-element method are presented. The images obtained by the SAFT method without taking different SVs into account are
displaced from their true position, thus they do not allow determination of their coordinates and location. Consideration
of different SVs allows one to obtain unshifted reflections of flaw images and, hence, evaluate the types and dimensions of
flaws more accurately. 相似文献

Comparison of systems for ultrasonic nondestructive testing using antenna arrays or phased antenna arrays 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

This paper considers the features of forming the images of reflectors using phased antenna array technology and the images obtained by the C-SAFT method by echo signals measured in by double-scanning mode. It is shown that in some cases the images obtained by the phased antenna array technology are less informative, while the images obtained by the C-SAFT method have a higher frontal resolution over the entire area of image restoration; the partial images restored at different positions of the antenna array can be coherently combined to obtain a high and homogeneous resolution throughout the entire volume of thickwalled articles and increasing the signal/noise ratio. For the sake of brevity, the registration of echo signals in the double-scanning mode and restoration of the images of reflectors by the C-SAFT method will be called digital focusing by an antenna array (DFA). The ability to restore the partial images of reflectors by once measured echo signals according to many acoustic schemes with their consequent combination into one high-quality image should provide reliable automation of the process of recognition and dimensioning of scatterers. Another advantage of the images obtained by the C-SAFT method with three-dimensional focusing is the possibility of restoring images in the same coordinate system when using antenna arrays on prisms of different configurations. This facilitates the joint analysis of the images. Speeds of forming the images by the technology of phased-antenna arrays and the images obtained by the C-SAFT method are comparable. If the testing technique is based on the use of nonlinear effects, then in this case PA flaw detectors have a distinct advantage over DFA flaw detectors. However, within the framework of linear acoustics, PA flaw detectors have no fundamental advantages over DFA flaw detectors. It is fairer to say that PA flaw detectors have drawbacks. This article shows images that illustrate the features of the images that were obtained by PA and DFA flaw detectors. 相似文献

A new photothermal method of nondestructive testing is proposed and implemented for specimens having horizontal planes. It is shown that a near-surface flaw can be detected under a varnish-and-paint coating by the difference of the heat resistances in the flaw zone and its vicinity, which causes a change in the thermocapillary response of a silicon-oil layer coating the surface of the article. A decrease in the diameter of the scanning beam and an increase in its power cause an increase in the amplitude of the scanning curve and its slope near the flaw boundary. 相似文献

在近场声全息(NAH)声场测量中,噪声的存在使近场声全息重建精度降低,影响声场重建的实现。本文提出一种基于传递函数估计的双测量面NAH技术,首先采用双测量面对噪声源信号进行测量,然后基于传递函数法引入一种合理的传递函数估计,结合参考传声器信号来求解全息面复声压,最后利用前后测量面数据相位差异来求解格林函数,根据声场重建公式进行近场声全息声场重建。数值仿真及重建误差分析表明,存在测量噪声影响的情况下,本文提出的方法相比传递函数法NAH重建误差更小,能够更准确地识别声源位置并提高声全息重建精度。最后对某型拖拉机前端进行近场阵列扫描试验,验证基于传递函数估计的双测量面NAH的有效性。 相似文献
