Abstract-This paper presents a numerical model, based on transfer matrix method, for modeling the propagation of surface acoustic waves at the interface formed by the coupling liquid and a continuously inhomogeneous thin layer on a semi-infinite substrate. The tow-dimensional spectrum of reflection coefficient computed by this model, allows determining the modes which propagate at the studied interface, this model treats different profile of gradients, and the numerical results obtained show that the reflection coefficient is sensitive to the variation of these gradients.
Abstract. The ultrasonic method is widely used to detect and characterize internal defects, but also to measure the residual thickness in the presence of corrosive or erosive phenomena. In this work, we have exploited: the ultrasonic reflection technique using a transducer center frequency 5MHz, which aims to deduct the ultrasonic parameters of samples, and tracing the reflection coefficient for each experimental sample. This work has demonstrated the reliability and the ability of ultrasonic techniques to show the influence of immersion time in a corrosive solution. The resulting corrosion on the corroded steel was analyzed by monitoring the evolution of ultrasonic parameters. We confirm some of the results found by other researchers ([1
