Abstract

Acoustography provides an alternative to the conventional point-by-point scanning approach employed for ultrasonic inspection of composites. In acoustography, an acousto-optic area detector is employed for direct ultrasonic imaging of composites in near real time. In this work, we will report on the application of this approach for inspecting composites where the point-by-point approach may not be practical and/or cost-effective.
