Abstract Ultrasonic phased array inspection technology is widely used in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications and it has been proved to be an effective method for flaw detections in industry. In our study, this nondestructive evaluation method is proposed to detect the corrosion defects on engine cylinders. In order to demonstrate its feasibility, it is necessary to study the characteristics of the acoustic field produced by a linear phased array ultrasonic transducer in the engine cylinders. In this paper, according to multi-Gaussian beam model and ray acoustics theory, we derive the expression of the acoustic field from More >
