Résumé

The nondestructive evaluation of closed cracks is a challenging subject in ultrasonic testing. Recently, nonlinear ultrasonic phased array with fixed-voltage fundamental wave amplitude differ- ence (fixed-voltage FAD) has been proposed as a practical approach. In this study, the maximum incident wave amplitude, which is one of the most critical parameters in closed-crack imaging, was investigated. First, a theoretical model was formulated to explicitly show the essence of the funda- mental principle of FAD and the advantage of fixed-voltage FAD over different-voltage FAD. In experiments, the authors imaged a closed fatigue crack using a nonlinear ultrasonic phased array with fixed-voltage FAD while varying the incident wave amplitude. It was found that when the inci- dent wave amplitude was sufficiently high, the nonlinear image visualized the closed crack tip, which could not be visualized in linear images. In addition, the incident-wave-amplitude depen- dence of the nonlinear responses was quantified. It was found that different parts within a single fatigue crack showed different nonlinear behaviors. This suggests that fixed-voltage FAD is useful not only for practical application of closed crack imaging but also for examining the nonlinear dynamics at various parts of closed cracks with a high spatial resolution.
