This study introduces a novel ultrasound technique to reduce measurement errors caused by acoustic aberration and speckle. By optimizing ultrasound generation, it enhances measurement accuracy in materials like steel.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Acoustics
  • Metrology

Background:

  • Aberrating materials distort acoustic wavefronts, causing acoustic speckle and measurement uncertainty.
  • Acoustic speckle, distinct from speckle noise, arises from coherent backscatter and complicates precise measurements.
  • Existing methods struggle to mitigate the amplitude and phase fluctuations introduced by acoustic speckle.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a new technique for optimizing ultrasound generation to compensate for acoustic aberration.
  • To improve the accuracy of velocity measurements in materials by reducing speckle noise.
  • To experimentally validate the technique's effectiveness in overcoming acoustic speckle caused by material grain structures.

Main Methods:

  • Optimizing the spatial distribution of ultrasound generation to counteract aberration.
