SIMULATION-SUPPORTED DEFECT EVALUATION USING ULTRASOUND

摘要

An ultrasound device for examining a component may include a measuring device for performing an ultrasonic measurement of the component and an analysis device. The ultrasound device may be designed to quantify structural elements, such as defects, in the component. For this purpose, the analysis device may be designed to determine a number and a respective position of at least one internal structural element of the component as a function of the ultrasonic measurement data from the measuring device using a reconstruction method, and to use a simulator to determine at least one character of each structural element by simulating the ultrasound measurement and adapting each model as a function of each ascertained position using a respective model for the at least one structural element.
