Ultrasonic guided waves, or Lamb waves, enable rapid aircraft structure inspection. Diffraction tomography improves imaging by accounting for wave scattering and ray bending, enhancing defect detection in aircraft components.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Non-Destructive Testing
  • Wave Physics

Background:

  • Ultrasonic guided waves, specifically Lamb waves, offer efficient inspection of large aircraft structures.
  • Conventional ultrasonic C-scan imaging requires full access, unlike tomographic algorithms using perimeter data.
  • Lamb wave velocity is thickness-dependent, enabling thickness mapping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an iterative reconstruction procedure for Lamb wave tomography.
  • To address limitations of straight wave path assumptions in tomographic algorithms.
  • To improve image quality and resolution for inspecting aircraft structures with scattering defects.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized tomographic algorithms with perimeter data collection.
