ULTRASONIC GUIDED WAVE CORROSION DETECTION AND MONITORING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR STORAGE TANK FLOORS AND OTHER LARGE-SCALE, COMPLEX, PLATE-LIKE STRUCTURES

摘要

A system for defect detection in plate like structures is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of transducers configured to be coupled to a periphery of complex-plate structure. A controller is electrically coupled to the plurality of transducers. The controller includes a machine readable storage medium and a processor in signal communication with the machine readable storage medium. The processor is configured to generate a plurality of guided wave signals using a first set of the plurality of transducers, receive the plurality of guided wave signals at a second set of the plurality of transducers, and generate tomographic pseudo-image of structural changes of the complex-plate structure based on the plurality of guided wave signals received at the second set of the plurality of transducers.
