Ultrasonic Nondestructive Evaluation Systems: Models and Measurements / Edition 1

by Lester W. Schmerr Jr, Jung-Sin Song

Overview

Using a systems level approach, this book employs aspects of linear systems theory and wave propagation and scattering theory to develop a comprehensive model of an entire ultrasonic measurement system. This integrated approach leads to a new model-based engineering technology for designing, using and optimizing ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation inspections. In addition, the book incorporates MATLAB examples and exercises.
