Abstract Ultrasonic inspection techniques have a proven record of applications during manufacturing and maintenance of metallic and composite aircraft structures. Traditional ultrasonic inspection techniques use a point-by-point scanning method to acquire a full-field image. This scanning method is slow and inadequate in satisfying modern manufacturing and maintenance time line requirements. The next generation of ultrasonic inspection eliminates the need for point-by-point scanning using an imaging array that is capable of displaying thousands of points to create a full-field image in real-time.
In this study, a next generation dual-channel ultrasonic imaging system is used for real-time three-dimensional evaluation… More >
