Abstract:
The third chapter presents the Ultrasonic Testing (UT) method. It begins with an overview of the theory of sound and ultrasonic wave propagation, along with the different wave types based on their mode of propagation. This is followed by a description of the most commonly used types of transducers. Next, the operating principle of the method is described, and the parameters that must be considered for proper instrument calibration and accurate inspection are analyzed — such as the properties of the material under examination and the characteristics of the transducer. The chapter also introduces the advanced ultrasonic technique known as phased array, describing the technological components of this system, the method’s operating principle, result visualization modes, and types of scanning. The chapter concludes with practical applications of both conventional ultrasonic testing and phased array ultrasonic testing on materials and structures.
