Fast Geometric Algorithms for Tomographic Nondestructive Evaluation

In this paper we describe the development and application of a novel approach to fast nondestructive evaluation (NDE) via direct estimation of signi cant features from tomographic data without image reconstruction. Classically, the term tomographic has been used to refer only to X-ray, and perhaps magnetic resonance techniques, but in our framework we point out that it has been recently shown t...

Ultrasonic Nondestructive Testing Method for Evaluation of Annular Seals

Drilling boreholes is common practice in geotechnical and geoenvironmental investigations and in various other ex­ ploration, testing, and monitoring appli­ cations. When a casing is placed in a borehole an annular space is created be­ tween the casing and the surrounding soil. If not properly sealed, this annular space can be a potential path for trans­ port of contaminants in the subsurface e...

Measurement of a 3D Ultrasonic Wavefield Using Pulsed Laser Holographic Microscopy for Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation

In ultrasonic array imaging, 3D ultrasonic wavefields are normally recorded by an ultrasonic piezo array transducer. Its performance is limited by the configuration and size of the array transducer. In this paper, a method based on digital holographic interferometry is proposed to record the 3D ultrasonic wavefields instead of the array transducer, and the measurement system consisting of a pul...

Deconvolution of ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation signals using higher-order statistics

In ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of materials, pulse echo measurements are masked by the characteristics of the measuring instruments, the propagation paths taken by the ultrasonic pulses, and are corrupted by additive noise. Deconvolution operation seeks to undo these masking effects and extract the defect impulse response which is essential for identification. In this contributio...
