20090049916 | Detection of defects in welded structures - A method of detecting defects in a welded metal structure, comprising mounting an ultrasonic transducer at or adjacent to a weld seam, and emitting ultrasonic signals so that the signals are propagated in the weld seam acting as a wave guide, and detecting reflections of the signals that may be indicative of defects in or adjacent to the weld seam. Waveguiding occurs within the weld principally because it is thicker than the plate, and thus the phase velocity in the plate is greater than that in the weld. This results in total internal reflection within the weld. In addition, an evanescent wave propagates in a region adjacent to the weld. The common problem with non destructive testing of excitation and reception of unwanted modes is greatly reduced, since it has been found that for certain frequency regions, transmitted waves will propagate only in a single mode at a predetermined frequency. As preferred the fundamental symmetric Lamb wave mode S | 02-26-2009 |
