Abstract
During nondestructive evaluation (NDE) of a material, an NDE instrumen t typically is used to receive the inspection signals and display them for visual interpretation. Work has been underway to convert these si gnals to a range of aural (audible) signals with the intent to enhance the accuracy of evaluation through the use of two senses (ears and ey es) instead of one. This paper describes auralization of ultrasonic ND E testing signals to improve characterization and evaluation of materi als.
