Wavefield focusing using a generalised, potentially asymmetric homogeneous Green's function

Marchenko-type integrals typically relate so-called focusing functions and Green's functions via the reflection response measured on the open surface of a volume of interest. Originating from one dimensional inverse scattering theory, the extension to two and three dimensions set in motion various new developments regarding imaging in complex...

Ultrasound Tracking and Data Telemetry using CMUTs

Implantable Medical Devices (IMDs) offer a wide range of applications including but not limited to blood pressure monitoring, bladder pressure sensing, glucose level monitoring, neurostimulation etc. For such applications, it is often desired that an IMD is as small as possible while meeting the required objective. Consequently, using a battery...

Broadband signal reconstruction for SHM: An experimental and numerical time reversal methodology

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) aims to shift aircraft maintenance from a time-based to a condition-based approach. Within all the SHM techniques, Acoustic Emission (AE) allows for the monitoring of large areas by analyzing Lamb waves propagating in plate like structures. In this study, the authors proposed a Time Reversal (TR) methodology...

Computational Time Reversal for NDT Applications Using Experimental Data

A model-based non destructive testing (NDT) method is proposed for damage identification in elastic structures, incorporating computational time reversal (TR) analysis. Identification is performed by advancing elastic wave signals, measured at discrete sensor locations, backward in time. In contrast to a previous study, which was purely...

Wave Propagation in Thin-walled Composite Structures: Application to Structural Health Monitoring

In order for the increased use of fiber-reinforced composite structures to be financially feasible, employment of reliable and economical systems to detect damage and evaluate structural integrity is necessary. This task has traditionally been performed using off-line non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques. Safety enhancement programs and cost...
