Abstract
A comprehensive model of an ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation (NDE) flaw measurement system is developed that combines models for the electrical components (pulser/receiver, cabling), electromechanical components [transducer(s)], and the acoustic/elastic processes present in the materials being inspected, including the scattering of ultrasonic waves from a flaw. This model is called the electroacoustic measurement (EAM) model. Here, in Part I, the underlying modeling foundations of the EAM model are described in detail and the use of the EAM model is demonstrated in a transducer design study. This EAM model provides a new, powerful tool for analyzing virtually any element in the measurement process. In Part II it will be shown that this power can be extended to characterizing typical commercial measurement systems through the use of models and purely electrical measurements of the system components.
