Abstract
In this paper, we extend a piezoelectric and laser ultrasonic system (PLUS) to a high-frequency version for high-sensitivity three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonic imaging by utilizing a unique characteristic of PLUS. PLUS combines a piezoelectric transmitter and a two-dimensional (2D) scan of a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV). A high frequency can be used simply by adopting a high-frequency piezoelectric transmitter with a center frequency, such as 15 MHz, since the LDV has a broad bandwidth reception of 0–25 MHz. Furthermore, a 2D array receiver with a small interelement pitch can be achieved by precisely scanning a small laser irradiation spot. We experimentally demonstrate its 3D imaging capability for flat-bottom-hole and fatigue-crack specimens.
期刊介绍:
NDT&E international publishes peer-reviewed results of original research and development in all categories of the fields of nondestructive testing and evaluation including ultrasonics, electromagnetics, radiography, optical and thermal methods. In addition to traditional NDE topics, the emerging technology area of inspection of civil structures and materials is also emphasized. The journal publishes original papers on research and development of new inspection techniques and methods, as well as on novel and innovative applications of established methods. Papers on NDE sensors and their applications both for inspection and process control, as well as papers describing novel NDE systems for structural health monitoring and their performance in industrial settings are also considered. Other regular features include international news, new equipment and a calendar of forthcoming worldwide meetings. This journal is listed in Current Contents.
