  • ULTRASONIC EXAMINATION OF COMPONENTS WITH UNKNOWN SURFACE GEOMETRIES
    Publication number: 20140260628
    Abstract: A method of nondestructively providing a volumetric examination of a bolt through a recess in the bolt head where the recess may have a varying or unknown surface geometry. The method first performs a phased array ultrasonic scan of the bolt's socket surface geometry. The results of the first scan are employed to set the focal laws of a second scan to perform the volumetric examination.
