Acoustic Tomography of Composite Materials of the Through-Transition Method

Abstract:

The article presents the image of the testing area for the through-transition method with an acoustic array. Using linear acoustic array in through-transition method, a set of data from different angles is obtained. Using this data set and the back projection method, the test area imaging is obtained, which is represented by a set of small local areas. The number of initial projections passing through each local area is calculated. Furthermore, the density function is determined and the resulting function, that is encoded whether in color or grayscale, is displayed on the monitor screen.
