Abstract. Constantly increasing demand for high-performance materials and systems in aerospace industry requires advanced methods of nondestructive testing. One of the most promising methods is ultrasonic imaging by using matrix phased arrays. This technique allows to create three-dimensional ultrasonic imaging with high lateral resolution. Further progress in matrix phased array ultrasonic testing is determined by the development of fast imaging algorithms. In this article imaging algorithm based on frequency domain calculations is proposed. This approach is computationally efficient in comparison with time domain algorithms. Performance of the proposed algorithm was tested via computer simulations for planar specimen with flat bottom holes.

“…However, for three dimensions, it is still very time consuming. A benchmark commercial (analytical) software is CIVA, which is very versatile and fast (292,293). Simulations help to understand the wealth of observed echoes and improve the experimental parameters of the setup (eg, frequency, insonification angle, type (single element, array), and positioning of probes).…”

Because of their unique properties, polymers and polymer–matrix composites pose both challenges and opportunities for nondestructive testing. The increasing use of these materials creates a demand for nondestructive verification of various properties or specifications, determination of structural integrity, or prediction of service‐life. On the other hand, development of new nondestructive test methods, improved sensitivity, or faster data acquisition and analysis may allow for nondestructive testing applications that hitherto did not seem feasible or economical. This article provides a brief overview of established methods and emerging applications in nondestructive testing of polymers and polymer–matrix composites.

“…Semi-analytic techniques based upon limitations in frequency such as the Kirchhoff approximation [1], the Geometric Theory of Diffraction (GTD) [2], and Physical Theory of Diffraction (PTD) [3] are also popular and widely used in NDE [4], [5]: These have the advantage that irregular geometries can then be considered. However, there are difficulties dealing with wave behaviour with respect to defects described by rough or complex geometries.…”

Abstract-A three-dimensional generic hybrid model is developed for the simulation of elastic waves in applications in NonDestructive Evaluation that efficiently links different solution strategies but, crucially, is independent of the particular schemes employed. This is an important step forward in facilitating rapid and accurate large-scale simulations and this advances the twodimensional generic hybrid methodology recently developed by the authors. The hybrid model provides an efficient and effective tool for creating highly accurate simulations that model the wave propagation and scattering, enabling the interpretation of inspection data; the new methodology is verified against other numerical simulations. Furthermore, its deployment to simulate wave reflection from side-drilled holes, comparing the results with experimental measurements, provides a realistic demonstration as well as further validation.
