Experimental and numerical polar scans of several anisotropic materials using pulsed and harmonic ultrasonic beams Universiteit Gent
Ultrasonic non-destructive testing is a well known technique in present days, in which the C-scan is the most wide spread. Though, because of the inherent limitations of most methods to quantitatively characterize (damaged) composite materials, the quest for more sophisticated methods is put forward. This study reports experimentally registered polar scans using an in house developed ultrasonic test setup for some typical composite materials. ...
