Gaussian Beam Modeling for Commercial Transducers Applied to Aero Engine Disc Inspection
نویسنده
چکیده
Gaussian beam superposition is applied to model representative standard transducers, which are used in aero engine disk inspection. Previously published approaches available in the literature have been applied and modified to account for rectangular and non-planar transducer apertures. Beam field calculation for both single and layered media is addressed.

Advanced Ultrasonic NDT of Aero Engine Components Using Standard Transducers and Optimized Mirrors
The inspection of complex-shaped components can suffer from the fact that the area of interest can not be properly insonified due to restricted access. In such cases, mirrors can be applied to turn the ultrasonic beam onto the component’s surface. In this paper, the optimization of such a mirror is illustrated for a specific application in aero engine inspection. Its shape has been designed to ...
