This study introduces an improved pulse-echo ultrasonic beam plotting method using isolated spheres for higher resolution. Different sphere sizes were shown to produce distinct iso-echo amplitude curves, advancing ultrasonic imaging techniques.

Area of Science:

  • Ultrasonic Testing
  • Non-Destructive Evaluation
  • Acoustic Imaging

Background:

  • Traditional pulse-echo ultrasonic beam plotting relies on spheres suspended by wires.
  • Existing methods have limitations in resolution and accuracy.
  • Advancements in ultrasonic techniques are crucial for precise material characterization.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel pulse-echo ultrasonic beam plotting method.
  • To enhance the resolution of ultrasonic beam profiling.
  • To investigate the effect of scatterer size on iso-echo amplitude curves.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing totally isolated spheres as scatterers for ultrasonic pulses.
  • Employing spheres of varying sizes to probe the ultrasonic beam.
