Nondestructive Evaluation in Materials Using Time-Frequency Analysis Methods

Abstract:

Application of signal processing techniques to nondestructive evaluation (NDE) in general has become a standard tool in determining the frequency characteristics of the signals and relating these characteristics to the integrity of the structure under consideration. The joint time-frequency analysis techniques are applied to analyze ultrasonic signals in degraded austenite stainless 316 steel, to study the evaluation of damage in this material. It is demonstrated that the nonstationary characteristics of ultrasonic signals could be analyzed effectively by these methods. WVD was found to be more effective for analyzing the attenuation and frequency characteristics of degraded materials through ultrasonic. It is indicated that the time-frequency analysis methods should also be useful in evaluating various damages and defects in structural members.
