Abstract

To realize a fully noncontact ultrasonic testing method for inner cracks inspection in thick metal specimen, a phased array laser ultrasonic testing system with using a compact optic fiber array bundle and a laser interferometer is developed in this study. The focusing and steering of the shear wave and longitudinal wave generated with seven fiber-phased-array laser sources in thermoelastic regime is investigated by a numerical simulation and validated by the experiment. A non-contact measurement of the inner-surface cracks by both the angle-beam testing method and time-of-flight diffraction method with the fiber-phased-array laser ultrasonic technique have been studied.
