The pulsed ultrasonic backscatter polar scan and its applications for NDT and material characterization

M Kersemans, W Van Paepegem, B Lemmens… - Experimental …, 2014 - Springer
In a conventional ultrasonic polar scan (UPS) experiment, the amplitude or time-of-flight-
diffraction (TOFD) values of the transmitted and/or reflected acoustic pulse are recorded for a …

[PDF][PDF] Elastic properties of orthotropic composites using the US polar scan method

M Kersemans, N Lammens, G Luyckx, J Degrieck… - JEC …, 2012 - biblio.ugent.be
Apolar plot can be built by gathering the reflected (or transmitted) amplitude value of a
bounded ultrasonic beam, impinging from every possible angle of incidence. In this way, the …

'Gradient'polar scan technique for material characterization

M Kersemans, W Van Paepegem… - 2012 IEEE …, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this paper, the concept of both the'gradient'and the'curvature'polar scan is introduced and
illustrated for several carbon reinforced composites. While the conventional polar scan …
