Abstract
Nondestructive testing methods are used to inspect and test materials and components for discontinuities or differences in mechanical characteristics. Phased array signal processing techniques have been widely used in different applications, but less research has been conducted on contactless nondestructive testing with passive arrays. This paper presents an application of beamforming techniques analysis using a passive synthetic microphone array to calculate the origin and intensity of sound waves in the ultrasonic frequency range. Acoustic cameras operating in the audible frequency range are well known. In order to conduct measurements in higher frequencies, the arrangement of microphones in an array has to be taken into consideration. This arrangement has a strong influence on the array properties, such as its beam pattern, its dynamics, and its susceptibility to spatial aliasing. Based on simulations, optimized configurations with 16, 32, and 48 microphones and 20 cm diameter were implemented in real experiments to investigate the array resolution and localize ultrasonic sources at 75 kHz signal frequency. The results show that development of an ultrasonic camera to localize ultrasonic sound sources is beneficial.
期刊介绍：
The aim of Advances in Acoustics and Vibration is to act as a platform for dissemination of innovative and original research and development work in the area of acoustics and vibration. The target audience of the journal comprises both researchers and practitioners. Articles with innovative works of theoretical and/or experimental nature with research and/or application focus can be considered for publication in the journal. Articles submitted for publication in Advances in Acoustics and Vibration must neither have been published previously nor be under consideration elsewhere. Subject areas include (but are not limited to): Active, semi-active, passive and combined active-passive noise and vibration control Acoustic signal processing Aero-acoustics and aviation noise Architectural acoustics Audio acoustics, mechanisms of human hearing, musical acoustics Community and environmental acoustics and vibration Computational acoustics, numerical techniques Condition monitoring, health diagnostics, vibration testing, non-destructive testing Human response to sound and vibration, Occupational noise exposure and control Industrial, machinery, transportation noise and vibration Low, mid, and high frequency noise and vibration Materials for noise and vibration control Measurement and actuation techniques, sensors, actuators Modal analysis, statistical energy analysis, wavelet analysis, inverse methods Non-linear acoustics and vibration Sound and vibration sources, source localisation, sound propagation Underwater and ship acoustics Vibro-acoustics and shock.
