Modeling and optimization of non-phased two-dimensional ultrasonic arrays.
… 2D arrays is a relatively new method in NDE inspection. Historically, ultrasonic array development progressed mostly in the medical imaging where phased arrays found a great application. However, in the field of NDE inspection of metals, heavy plastics and composites, and many other …

A "divide-and-conquer" strategy for NDE signal inversion in gas transmission pipelines
<p>Signal inversion in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) applications is a critical step before remediation decisions are made. The accuracy and confidence of the signal inversion results therefore play a key role in evaluating the effectiveness of the NDE procedure. Conventional NDE signal inversion …

Robotic Inspection and Data Analytics to Localize and Visualize the Structural Defects of Civil Infrastructure
… Radar (GPR) serves as a significant nondestructive evaluation (NDE) technique to inspect and survey underground objects (e.g., rebars, utility pipes) in complex urban environments. In addition to GPR, visual-based surface defect detection plays a crucial role in assessing and …

Spiral 2D array designs for volumetric imaging
The use of linear phased arrays in NDE inspections has recently grown, resulting in faster inspection of components. Phased arrays are also used in underwater sonar and biomedical imaging. All applications require 2 dimensional (2D) arrays, capable of volumetric imaging, to further increase scan …

Robotic Platform for Internal Inspection
This thesis describes the design of a robotic inspection tool which is based on a differential track-drive platform. The robotic inspection tool is a one man-portable UGV that has been developed for the purpose of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) and internal inspection of environments where human …
