Abstract

It is shown that ultrasonic adaptive antenna arrays that are able to take the shape of a nonplanar surface of the tested product should be used for ultrasonic tomography of concrete building structures with a nonstandard surface configuration. It is also necessary to use adaptive methods of ultrasonic tomography allowing one to simultaneously determine the coordinates of defects and the speed of ultrasonic vibrations in concrete and to adjust the parameters of the probing signals to the characteristics of concrete products.
