  • Method for measuring surface and near surface properties of materials
    Patent number: 4574637
    Abstract: The properties of the surface layer of a material are measured by a technique which employs the transmission of ultrasonic waves from varying angles of incidence into a specimen, from a transducer at a point spaced from the specimen. The backscattered waves are detected and evaluated from the varying angles to detect the local maximum intensity, from which the corresponding properties of the material are determined.

  • Anisotropic determination and correction for ultrasonic flaw detection by spectral analysis
    Patent number: 4106327
    Abstract: The anisotropic nature of a material is determined by measuring the velocity of an ultrasonic longitudinal wave and a pair of perpendicular ultrasonic shear waves through a sample of the material each at a plurality of different angles in three planes orthogonal to each other. The determined anisotropic nature is used as a correction factor in a spectral analyzing system of flaw determination.
