  1. Basic Principles of Ultrasonic Testing Theory and Practice Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  2. Examples of oscillation ball ona spring pendulum rotatingearth Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  3. Pulse The ball starts to oscillate as soon as it is pushed Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  4. Oscillation Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  5. Movement of the ball over time Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  6. Frequency Time One full oscillation T From the duration of one oscillation T the frequency f (number of oscillations per second) is calculated: Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  7. The actual displacement a is termed as: a Time 0 90 180 270 360 Phase Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  8. Spectrumofsound Example Frequency range Hz Description Infrasound 0 - 20 Earth quake 20 - 20.000 Audible sound Speech, music > 20.000 Ultrasound Bat, Quartz crystal Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  9. Atomic structures liquid gas solid • low density • weak bonding forces • medium density • medium bonding forces • high density • strong bonding forces • crystallographic structure Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  10. Understanding wave propagation: Ball = atom Spring = elastic bonding force Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  11. start of oscillation T distance travelled Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  12. During one oscillation T the wave front propagates by the distance : T Distance travelled From this we derive: Wave equation or Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  13. Sound propagation Longitudinal wave Direction of propagation Direction of oscillation Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  14. Direction of propagation Sound propagation Transverse wave Direction of oscillation Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

Due to the different type of oscillation, transverse wavestravel at lower speeds. Sound velocity mainly depends on the density and E-modulus of the material. Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems

  16. Reflection and Transmission As soon as a sound wave comes to a change in material characteristics ,e.g. the surface of a workpiece, or an internal inclusion, wave propagation will change too: Krautkramer NDT Ultrasonic Systems
