This makes it imperative to detect and evaluate hidden WTD via effective nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods. Pulse-modulation eddy current (PMEC) has been found to be superior to other NDE techniques in detection, imaging and assessment of back-surface flaws in conductive slabs. It could be one of the promising methods for evaluation of hidden WTD in layered conductors. In this paper, an analytical model of PMEC inspection of hidden WTD is established. Following the theoretical simulations based on the model, the excitation parameters of PMEC especially the carrier frequency are sought. Together with the optimal excitation parameters determined, a testing system of PMEC imaging and evaluation of hidden WTD is built up. The experimental results along with the simulations indicate the feasibility of PMEC for high-sensitivity detection and high-accuracy evaluation of hidden WTD in layered conductors.","PeriodicalId":425658,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Far East NDT New Technology & Application Forum (FENDT)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130450557","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}

In order to avoid the shortcomings of time-consuming and subjective factors in the feature extraction process, a defect recognition pipeline based on pulsed eddy current testing (PECT) and Small Deep Convolutional Neural Network (S-DCNN) was proposed. Firstly, the one dimensional (1-D) defect signal was obtained from the PECT experiment. Secondly, the above-mentioned 1-D signal was transformed into a two-dimensional time-frequency representation (2-D TFR) by using the Smooth Pseudo Wille-Velle Distribution with Contour (SPWVD-C) method. Lastly, the above-mentioned 2-D TFR was used as the input of the S-DCNN, which consisted of four convolutional layers (Cons) and a fully connected layer (FC). Experimental results showed that the proposed SPWVD-C method could obtain more accurate and clearer 2-D TFR than other common-used time-frequency transform methods such as Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition (EEMD), Short-time Fourier Transform (STFT), and Synchronous Wavelet Transforms (SSWT). The formed S-DCNN was more simple and effective than VGG architectures (such as VGG11, VGG16 and VGG19), and had significant advantages as far as recognition accuracy and time cost. The propose pipeline was suitable for non-destructive testing and other engineering applications where it was difficult to obtain a large number of training samples.","PeriodicalId":425658,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Far East NDT New Technology & Application Forum (FENDT)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132681206","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}

The effect is perfect, but it does not meet non-destructive testing (NDT) requirements due to the damage to the material surface. The thermoelastic mechanism conforms to the principle of NDT, but the excited ultrasonic energy is relatively weak. In this work, an ultrasonic converging method was studied to enhance the signal in the thermoelastic regime based on the phased array principle using a ring-shaped laser ultrasonic technique. An axicon and a convex lens were used to irradiate a ring-shaped laser on an aluminum sample to induce the bulk ultrasound. A two-wave mixing interferometer with a photorefractive crystal was used to measure the ultrasound. The signals were superim-posed at the detection point on the center axis of the laser ring, and the amplitude was enhanced. The ultrasonic signals were affected by the width and diameter of the laser ring. A novel thickness measurement method was proposed in a non-destructive and non-contact manner. The flight times of successive echoes were observed as features to reconstruct thickness.","PeriodicalId":425658,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Far East NDT New Technology & Application Forum (FENDT)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114315517","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}
