Acquisition and analysis of ultrasonic wavefield data to characterize angle-beam propagation and scattering in plates

A method for acquiring and analyzing ultrasonic wavefields to characterize scattering from defects is described. A laser vibrometer and XY scanner are used to record high resolution wavefield data for angle-beam waves propagating in both a defect-free plate and a plate containing crack-like defects...
