Vn. Danilov et Ny. Izofatova, MODELING THE OPERATION OF THE ELECTROACOUSTIC CHANNEL OF A FLAW DETECTOR WITH NORMAL TRANSDUCERS FOR A CYLINDRICAL REFLECTOR, Russian journal of nondestructive testing, 33(7), 1997, pp. 496-501
The echo signals for combined normal transducers and reflectors having
the form of a lateral cylindrical hole and a plane boundary are calcu
lated using an existing theoretical model of an electroacoustic channe
l adapted for the exciting-pulse parameters in a UD2-12 flaw detector.
Satisfactory agreement is obtained between theory and experiment, the
degree of agreement being limited mainly by the error made in specify
ing the dimensions of the reflector. A shortwave approximation is used
for the reflection coefficient in the calculations to minimize this e
rror.
