Time Reversal Techniques in Non Destructive Testing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The objective of this paper is to show that time-reversal invariance can be exploited in acoustics to create a variety of new methods in non-destructive testing. Two different approaches will be discussed. The first one is the iterative time reversal process. It is an adaptive technique that can be used to detect flaws in complex samples with arrays of transducers. A second technique will also be presented: the D.O.R.T. method (French acronym for Decomposition of the Time Reversal Operator). It is a detection technique that is derived from the mathematical analysis of the iterative time reversal process and It allows the simultaneous detection and separation of several defects.

A scalarization-based method for multiple part-type scheduling of two-machine robotic systems with non-destructive testing technologies
This paper analyzes the performance of a robotic system with two machines in which machines are configured in a circular layout and produce non-identical parts repetitively. The non-destructive testing (NDT) is performed by a stationary robotic arm located in the center of the circle, or a cluster tool. The robotic arm integrates multiple tasks, mainly the NDT of the part and its transition bet...
