Rm. Burbelo et al., PHOTOACOUSTIC MICROSCOPY OF THE CONNECTING JOINT OF BIOMORPHIC PIEZOCERAMIC ELEMENTS, Russian journal of nondestructive testing, 32(9), 1996, pp. 694-697
The possibility of use of photoacoustic microscopy for nondestructive
inspection of the quality of the connecting joint in bimorphic piezoel
ements is shown. The test specimens contained specially created defect
s of a connecting joint. Investigations showed that in all cases there
was observed a change in photoacoustic signal in the area coinciding
with the place of location of defects in the connecting joint and thei
r form and dimensions.
