Multiple inspection: A novel method in nondestructive evaluation

Nowadays, in industrial world, time reduction and accuracy increments are high important issues. Development of innovative technologies provided conditions to ensure performance of industrial components in more accurate results and also shorter time. Ultrasonic phased array system has a great influence on nondestructive evaluation of materials. This work presents a finite element simulation of a novel method based on a high ability of ultrasonic phased array system to reduce time of inspection and show more comprehensive information. Phased array capability for angle variations of wavefront when gathering with powerful Rayleigh wave generation provides multiple nondestructive testing inspection technique. Multiple inspection is a new method in order to inspect the surface and also internal bulk of work piece simultaneously
