Ultrasonic Imaging System Based on Virtual Instrument

Abstract:

An imaging system of ultrasonic detection is presented for non-destructive testing (NDT) of complex structures by using virtual instrument technology. The control devices for C-scan as well as for imaging system are designed and manufactured. In the coarse scan mode with the scan step of 1 mm, the system can quickly give an image display of a cross section of 80 mm (L) ×60 mm (D) by one measurement. In the refined scan model, the system can show a refine image of the coin. All experiments on coin, bulk metal, and other forms of specimen verify the efficiency of the proposed method. The experimental results are accurate and reliable.
