Abstract
Laser ultrasonic synthetic aperture focusing technique (SAFT) is susceptible to multiple modes of ultrasonic generated by laser pulse. In this work, we propose an optimized synthetic aperture imaging method based on the differential technique, resulting in the effective detection of internal defects. The laser ultrasonic SAFT finite element model is established, and the models are calculated in the case of existing internal defect or not. Thereby, the original ultrasonic data containing the defect reflected waves and the differential data are obtained, and the internal defects are reconstructed by the delay superposition algorithm. The results show that the defect imaging is submerged in the high-amplitude background noise superimposed by the surface acoustic wave; when only the original data are used. However, the optimized SAFT imaging based on the differential technique can not only reduce the interference of other mode waves on the imaging area significantly, but also retain the defect reflected waves effectively. Moreover, the imaging and precise locating of multiple defects are realized, which pave the way for enhancing the internal defects detection ability of laser ultrasonic.
