Fundamentals of Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation: A Modeling Approach

Fundamentals of Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation describes the fundamentals of wave propagation needed to simulate the propagation and scattering of ultrasonic waves. The book presents the use of ultrasound in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) inspections. Retaining the first edition's use of wave propagation /scattering theory and linear system theory, this volume also adds significant new material, including improved derivations of ultrasonic measurement models.

The book includes an introduction of MATLAB functions and scripts that evaluate key results involving beam propagation and scattering, flaw sizing, and the modeling of ultrasonic systems. In addition, a set of MATLAB live scripts is available for download.
