MEASURING WALL THICKNESS LOSS FOR A STRUCTURE

摘要

Systems, methods and computer storage mediums accurately measure wall thickness in a region of interest included in complex curved structures. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to generating a wall thickness loss distribution map of a region of interest that provides an accurate representation of wall thickness for the region of interest included in a complex curved structure. The wall thickness loss distribution map is generated from a two-dimensional model of the wall thickness loss distribution of the region of interest. The two-dimensional model is converted from a three-dimensional representation of the wall thickness loss distribution of the region of interest. The three-dimensional representation of the wall thickness is generated by ultrasonic waves generated by a transducer system that propagated through the region of interest.

1. A system for measuring wall thickness in a region of interest included in a structure, comprising:
a transducer system configured to transmit a plurality of ultrasonic waves through the region of interest and convert the ultrasonic waves to propagated electrical signals that encode a three-dimensional representation of a wall thickness loss distribution of the region of interest; a pre-processing system configured to convert the three-dimensional representation encoded by the propagated electrical signals to a two-dimensional model for analysis of the wall thickness loss distribution; and an inversion system configured to generate a wall thickness loss distribution map from the two-dimensional model, wherein the wall thickness loss distribution map provides the wall thickness loss distribution for the region of interest.
