Shape Reconstruction of Eccentric Defect in Cylindrical Component by Modified Born Approximation Method

Abstract

In this paper, a cylindrical aluminum sample with an eccentric circular hole was prepared, and ultrasonic measurements were carried out by experimental means. The measurement area was limited to a plane edge perpendicular to the axis of the cylindrical component. The measured waveform data were input into the formula of approximate correction method, and the section image was obtained by using a modified Born approximation (MBA) method. Then, the three-dimensional (3D) shape of the defects in the aluminum sample was reconstructed by superimposing the cross-sectional images. Results showed that the defect reconstruction effect of the two-dimensional section and the 3D defect reconstruction effect were significantly improved by the MBA method.
