Recently a large number of tests and experiments have been done to evaluate the effects of their impact on agricultural products using high techniques like, vibration (acoustic, ultrasonic and sonic response).Some modification methods have been applied to impact probe and signal conditioning to improve the firmness prediction performance and reduce the potential for bruising. The inspection of ...

Multi-wire ropes are widely used as load-carrying constructional elements in bridges, cranes, elevators, etc. Structural integrity of such ropes can be inspected by using non-destructive ultrasonic techniques. The objective of this work was to investigate propagation of ultrasonic guided waves (UGW) along composite multi-wire ropes in the cases of various types of acoustic contacts between neig...

Non-Destructive testing is useful in rail, pipeline and aerospace industries for maintenance of equipment, such as thickness measurements, corrosion and defect detection in materials. In this work a finite element analysis of an Electromagnetic acoustic transducer is presented. EMAT is an emerging technology that provides a non contact process of testing materials compared to ultrasonic sensors...

In some austenitic stainless steel welds grains orientations cause deviation and splitting of the ultrasonic beam. It is especially true in the case of multipass welds when the remelting process after each pass causes complex solidification process. With the new model MINA (Modelling anisotropy from Notebook of Arc welding) we show that we are able to predict thoroughly grains orientations. Thi...

Non-destructive testing can be applied to various things, including sandwich panels. Sandwich panels made of EPS are greatly affected by the mixing process. Bad affect level homogeneity and reduce quality. In addition, improper thickness layers cores result in wall damage. For this reason, carrying out a non-destructive test on panel is necessary. This study aims determine material predict dime...
