Patent number: 10704901Abstract: Systems, methods and computer storage mediums accurately measure wall thickness in a region of interest included in complex curved structures. Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to generating a wall thickness loss distribution map of a region of interest that provides an accurate representation of wall thickness for the region of interest included in a complex curved structure. The wall thickness loss distribution map is generated from a two-dimensional model of the wall thickness loss distribution of the region of interest. The two-dimensional model is converted from a three-dimensional representation of the wall thickness loss distribution of the region of interest. The three-dimensional representation of the wall thickness is generated by ultrasonic waves generated by a transducer system that propagated through the region of interest.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2017Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignees: University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati NDE, Ltd.Inventors: Geir Instanes, Peter B. Nagy, Francesco Simonetti, Carson L. Willey
