Abstract:Laser ultrasound can be used for noncontact depth measurement of open surface cracks, which can be applied to online monitoring of surface cracks in high temperature components. Crack depth measurement can be performed by using (a) surface waves in the frequency domain, (b) surface waves in the time domain, or by (c) time of flight diffraction (TOFD). A comparison of these methods showed that the use of surface waves in the time domain is best suited for online monitoring.Crack depth measurement using surface … Show more
