Ultrasonic Guided Wave Tomography Of Pipes: A Development Of New Techniques For The Nondestructive Evaluation Of Cylindrical Geometries And Guided Wave Multi-Mode Analysis, Kevin Raymond Leonard
Ultrasonic Guided Wave Tomography Of Pipes: A Development Of New Techniques For The Nondestructive Evaluation Of Cylindrical Geometries And Guided Wave Multi-Mode Analysis, Kevin Raymond Leonard
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
This dissertation concentrates on the development of two new tomographic techniques that enable wide-area inspection of pipe-like structures. By envisioning a pipe as a plate wrapped around upon itself, the previous Lamb Wave Tomography (LWT) techniques are adapted to cylindrical structures. Helical Ultrasound Tomography (HUT) uses Lamb-like guided wave modes transmitted and received by two circumferential arrays in a single crosshole geometry. Meridional Ultrasound Tomography (MUT) creates the same crosshole geometry with a linear array of transducers along the axis of the cylinder. However, even though these new scanning geometries are similar to plates, additional complexities arise because they are …

Computation Of Shock Induced Noise In Imperfectly Expanded Supersonic Jets, Bulent Imamoglu
Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Screech noise exists only in imperfectly expanded jets. The exit pressure of imperfectly expanded jets does not match ambient pressure, so expansion or compression waves appear out of the nozzle and generate shock cell patterns. Screech is generated by the interaction of shock cells and instability waves. Many experiments and computations have been done to model screech noise, but it is not yet a very well known subject.
A numerical study is performed to understand screech generation mechanisms and to compare with latest experiments. A supersonic underexpanded jet of 25.4 mm diameter is modeled for cases of Mach numbers of …
