“…The technique is based on the phenomenon of ultrasonic wave propagation in the tested materials, introduced through an ultrasonic transducer. Ultrasonic testing is based on observing registered impulses received from material discontinuities and reflections from the bottom of the tested element or the boundaries of media with different wave propagation velocities [11][12][13][14][15].…”

In recent years, the increase in energy prices and demand has been driven by the post-pandemic economic recovery. Of the various energy sources, oil and natural gas remain the most important source of energy production and consumption after coal. Oil and gas pipelines are a key component of the overall energy infrastructure, transporting oil and gas from mines to end users, so the reliability and safety of these pipelines is critical. The oil and gas industry incurs large expenses for the removal of failures related to, among others, corrosion of pipelines caused by the presence of Hg, CO2 H2S, carbonates and chlorides in reservoir waters. Therefore, pipeline operators must constantly monitor and prevent corrosion. Corrosion failure losses are a major motivation for the oil and gas industry to develop accurate monitoring models using non-destructive NDT methods based on test results and failure frequency observations. Observing the locations of frequent pipeline failures and monitoring and applying corrosion protection to pipelines play an important role in reducing failure rates and ultimately increasing the economic and safety performance of pipelines. Monitoring and prevention efforts support the decision-making process in the oil and gas industry by predicting failures and determining the timing of maintenance or replacement of corroded pipelines. We have presented methods of prevention through the use of corrosion inhibitors in crude oil and natural gas transmission pipelines, as well as various factors that influence their application. In this article, a review of corrosion rate monitoring systems is conducted, and a range of control and monitoring scenarios is proposed. This knowledge will aid scientists and practitioners in prioritizing their policies, not only to choose the appropriate monitoring technique but also to enhance corrosion protection effectiveness.

“…We have an ultrasound excited due to a thermo-elastic effect. Being widely used for non-destructive detection in many fields, it has been studied extensively [17][18][19]. In the recent years, numerical simulations of laser-ultrasonic propagation have been developed rapidly, using the finite-element method.…”

When a wheat kernel is infected by insects, nutrients of the kernel are damaged, which reduces the commercial value of wheat and threatens its food safety. We suggest a new non-destructive method for revealing infected kernels, which is based on laser-induced ultrasonic. A detection process is simulated using a finite-element analysis. Firstly, we formulate a finite-element model for normal wheat and models for infected wheat (with the wormhole radii 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 mm), following from a classical thermal-stress theory. Secondly, a controlling equation is obtained, a process of ultrasonic excitation is simulated for all the models using a standard Newmark time-integration method, and the ultrasonic signals are obtained for those models. Finally, we derive the velocity of ultrasonic wave propagating in the kernel and analyze the relationships among the ultrasonic parameters and the structural parameters of the models. Our results show that the time interval between two adjacent ultrasonic echoes depends notably upon the internal kernel structure. In particular, the interval between the first and second echoes is longer and the interval between the second and third echoes is shorter with increasing wormhole radius. This can be used for finding out the infected kernels at early stages and determining the sizes of wormholes.

“…Several nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods exist for corrosion detection in pipes. The most important ones are ultrasonic testing [3][4][5][6][7][8][9], infrared thermography [10][11][12], and pulsed eddy current [13][14][15][16][17]. Although these methods have been proved effective in detecting corrosion and wall thinning.…”

This paper investigates the application of highly nonlinear solitary waves as a nondestructive evaluation method to detect localized corrosion in metallic structures. An experiment was conducted by using chains of monoperiodic particles in contact with a steel plate subjected to localized accelerated corrosion. A few damage-sensitive features were extracted from the time waveforms and fed into a multivariate statistical analysis to enhance the sensitivity of the proposed non-invasive monitoring approach. The experiment was complemented by a finite element model to quantify the effects of localized corrosion on certain features of the solitary waves propagating along the chain. Both the numerical and the experimental results show that the solitary waves reflected at the chain-plate interface are affected by the presence and progression of corrosion. Furthermore, the multivariate statistical analysis improved the sensitivity of the proposed approach. In the future, the proposed method may be implemented in those applications in which high temperature or radioactive environments are detrimental for the use of piezoelectric based ultrasonic testing.
