The LU-based F-SAFT algorithm is developed to visualize horizontal hole-type defects in aluminum. By incorporating optimizations such as velocity mapping and frequency range selection, small defects can be visualized in 3D with improved image quality and reconstruction speed. The wide-band generation characteristic of the LU technique allows for a higher Signal-to-Noise Ratio in the acoustic wave signals.
The Laser Ultrasonic (LU) technique has been widely studied. Detected ultrasonic signals can be further processed using Synthetic Aperture Focusing Techniques (SAFTs), to detect and image internal defects. LUbased SAFT in frequency-domain (F-SAFT) is developed to visualize horizontal hole-type defects in aluminum. Bulk acoustic waves are non-destructively generated by irradiating a laser line-source, and detected using a laser Doppler vibrometer at a point away from the generation. The influence of this non-coincident generation detection on the equivalent acoustic velocity used in the algorithm is studied via velocity mappings. Because the wide-band generation characteristic of the LU technique, frequency range selections in acoustic wave signals are implemented to increase Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and reconstruction speed. Results indicate that by using the LU F-SAFT algorithm, and incorporating optimizations such as velocity mapping and frequency range selection, small defects can be visualized in 3D with corrected locations and improved image quality.
