20140140167 | Non Destructive Testing Apparatus and Method Using Ultrasound Imaging - Improved imaging is provided for structures under test that have propagation direction dependent ultrasound propagation speed or position dependent ultrasound propagation speed due to fibrous, coarse grain or single crystalline material. A set reflection points is selected in the structure under test and ultrasound propagation time delays between the reflection point or points on one hand and the plurality of positions on the other hand that fit an observed time delay of the detected reflections are computed. This may be done by means of an iterative method. In the iterative method a synthetically focused ultrasound beam is realized by summing measurements after compensation for propagation time delay from different transmitting transducers to the reflection points. Time delays to receiving transducers are measured from the arrival time of reflections of this synthetically focused ultrasound beam, and the propagation time delay from different transmitting transducers is iteratively adapted until it matches time delays corresponding to the measured arrival times. Time delays to other points in the structure under test are interpolated between the selected reflection points and used in the computation of an image of reflections within the structure under test. | 05-22-2014 |
