Abstract
Many standard nondestructive testing systems utilize ultrasonic pulse echo techniques to locate defects within structures. These techniques rely upon the scattering of acoustic energy by the defects. To locate them usually two or more acoustic detectors are needed. In this paper, an alternate method of structural damage identification is proposed. The technique involves the use of a leaky acoustic waveguide and a unidirectional acoustic waveguide attached to the structure of interest. Only one acoustic detector is required for defect location. An analysis of the concept is provided and experimental results are presented.
