Abstract

Nondestructive testing techniques based on Lamb wave propagation have been studied for several years. In this paper, a fan-beam scanning tomography method is proposed to detect the defects in aluminum plates, and the back-projection data of aluminum plate defects are calculated. An equidistant arrangement of probes is used based on the scanning scheme and algorithm of the fan-beam structure. Different defects in the aluminum plates are detected and analyzed using the experimental method. The characteristic time containing the defect information is obtained. A wavelet transform method based on the empirical mode decomposition method is proposed to reduce noise at low-frequency Lamb wave signals and reconstruct the image. The results show that the fan-beam Lamb wave tomography method helps detect aluminum plate defects.
