The accuracy of time-delay estimation (TDE) directly influences the precision and reliability of the relative measurement method used in non-destructive testing, such as leak location in underground pipeline leak test, ultrasonic blood velocity measurement, ultrasonic material stress measurement etc. In this paper, methods based on third-order cumulant are applied, including Cross Third-order Cumulant Method and Bispectrum Method, to ultrasonic time delay estimation. Higher-order cumulant can effectively suppress big noise interference. According to the principle that the third moment sequence of a zero-mean Gaussian process is identical to zero, we can use third-order cumulant to estimate time delay. Comparing with Generalized Cross-correlation Method, these methods can suppress the effect of correlated Gaussian noise sources and can be used as the substitution of Generalized Cross-correlation Method.","PeriodicalId":413995,"journal":{"name":"2013 Far East Forum on Nondestructive Evaluation/Testing: New Technology and Application","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131307872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As examples, the improved SAFT is applied to pitch-catch data for flaws in an immersed round bar, and flaw images are compared with conventional SAFT images. Another application is to use a low frequency approximation to reconstruct a flaw shape of 3-D plate thinning from reflection coefficients of ultrasonic guided waves. By introducing a far field expression of Green's functions and Born approximation into the integral expression, a Fourier transform pair is obtained between the shape function of thinning flaw and reflection coefficients of backscattered guided waves.
