Non-destructive Testing (NDT) for solid materials is an important subject. The solid materials with cracks show non-classical nonlinear acoustic phenomena. The energy of the sound wave is expected to diminish while propagating in the solid materials due to the attenuation. However, most of the researches don't take it into account. In this paper, the non-classical nonlinear acoustic phenomena are studied considering the attenuation through

The method that combined Canny operator with Otsu method was discussed to extract image outlines, and the realization steps of the method were presented. It was effective that the outlines of defect which was on double backgrounds were extracted by Canny operator based on double thresholds determined by Otsu method. The false contour was eliminated so that the clear outlines could be nearly completely obtained. The method successfully extracted the flaws outlines of inner surface of charge engine. The results showed that the edge detection of lighting asymmetry image such as endoscope image could be processed well by the presented method.

A technology that utilizes penetrating rays is one of the oldest nondestructive testing methods. Nowadays, the process of radiogram analysis is performed by qualified human operators and automatic systems are still under development. In this work we present advanced algorithms for automatic segmentation of radiographic images of welded joints. The goal of segmentation of a radiogram is to change and simplify representation of the image into a form that is more meaningful and easier to analyse automatically. The radiogram is divided into parts containing the weld line, image quality indicators, and possible defects. Then, each part is analysed separately by specialized algorithms within the framework of the Intelligent System for Radiogram Analysis.

NDT plays an ever increasing role in our lives. Whether we purchase a new car, drive over a bridge or fly away on holiday, most people are blissfully unaware that their safety has been assured in part by the diligent application of Non Destructive Testing in one or several of its many forms. As the demand for higher yield at lower cost escalates there will be a continual increase in the demand for technologies that deliver NDT services with higher efficiency and accuracy whilst contributing to the overall reduction in cost of producing products for a demanding world. This paper introduces lessons and observations gained by the author over the past decade from two advanced ultrasonic methods that have shown remarkable growth and acceptance in the NDT industry over the past few decades, namely;Ultrasonic Phased Arrays and Time of Flight Diffraction (ToFD). The information in this paper may be regarded as an educational 'taster' or a platform for those individuals preparing themselves to provide services in advanced ultrasonics.

In the aerospace industry, detecting the cracks that sometimes develop around fastener holes is a major issue for aircraft maintenance and life extension. Parts undergoing inspection are usually made of an aluminum alloy and typically have a complex geometry. Cracks of concern can be as small as 0.04 inches and can be located anywhere throughout the fastener thickness. The challenge is to design a technique that can be used from a single side, that does not require removal of the fastener, and that provides satisfactory resolution. The phased-array concept is to use a large linear array in a pseudo-tandem configuration, in which different elements of the same probe are used for transmission and reception. Excellent resolution is achieved using this technique, as shown in both simulation and experimental results.

The purpose of this study was to develop practical acoustic field measurement methods of ultrasonic transducer for frequencies above 20 MHz. In order to improve the accuracy of flaw detection and imaging, there is a growing demand for analysis of sound field distribution of high-frequency transducers. Two measurement models were developed in this paper, one was small-aperture hydrophones method with aperture average correct model based on 2-D Wiener deconvolution. The other was step-edge reflection method, which was made up of two major steps, first, transducers driven by the positioning system scan the step-edge to obtain the reflective distribution and line response function of this distribution;secondly, inverse Abel transform of line response function is employed to obtain the lateral beam pattern of transducer. Finally, a high-frequency transducer (30MHz) was measured to validate these methods in respect of accuracy and feasibility.

This report presents a numerical method for quantified reconstruction of local thinning flaw on the surface of a plate by using reflection coefficients of ultrasonic guided Lamb waves. After deducing the Green's funtions for Lamb wave problem, the reflected guided waves by the unknown thinning flaw are expressed in an integral form over the volume of local-thinning area. By introducing the Born and far-field approximation to the actual wave field displacements, the location and shape of thinning is mathematically obtained by performing inverse Fourier transform. For numerical verifications, we used the mode-exciting method to calculate reflection coefficients mode by mode over a frequency range for various pre-defined artificial flaws. Then the coefficients are substituted into the inverse approach. The results show the agreements of reconstructed shape and artificial flaws. Parametric comparisons are also studied among models with different frequency ranges, thinning widths and depths.

Ultrasound-excited thermo-image is a new method of NDE/T techniques, the related experiments show that, under the intensive ultrasonic excitation, the non-linear vibration phenomena, such as harmonics, sub-harmonics, quasi-sub-harmonics and chaos, of the tested samples increase greatly the detectability of defects (cracks). Therefore, the study of nonlinear vibration phenomena of the samples is very important for improving the detection sensitivity of the ultrasound-excited thermo-image techniques. To study the nonlinear vibration phenomena, an electrical circuit model is proposed to simulate the mechanical vibro-impact motions between the transducer horn and sample in the ultrasound-excited thermo-image system based on the similar principles between electrical circuit systems and mechanical vibration systems. The calculations from the electrical circuit model show that the harmonic, sub-harmonic, quasi-sub-harmonic and chaotic phenomena also appear in the circuit model. Therefore, the circuit simulation technique provides a new approach to study and optimize the ultrasound-excited thermo-image technique for applying to NDE/T.

Modern industry makes more and more extensive use of various composite materials. In this paper terahertz imaging method is presented for the purposes of various composite materials evaluation. Basalt fiber-reinforced composites and polymeric anticorrosion coatings will be considered. Basalt fiber composites are the innovative materials that are increasingly used in various industries e.g. automotive, shipbuilding, aircraft and civil engineering (heat and sound insulation, pipelines, reinforcement of concrete, bridges and tunnels). The paper shortly introduces also to specific type of complex coating of steel applied in industry (e.g. oil or chemical). Two methods of defects detection are presented. The first one is based on system identification and the second one on time domain signal parameters estimation. Finally, results achieved during terahertz inspection of coatings are compared with those obtained using active thermography.
