Title: Sizing of remnant thickness in pipes and plates using cut-off properties by widening excitation bands of frequency and wavelength
Inventor: KRISHNAN BALASUBRAMANIAN
IPC: G01N29/46
Filed: 2020-04-13
Abstract: This invention provides a method for finding the remnant thickness of a structure. A feature of guided waves known as the cut-off property is used to determine the remnant thickness of structures. Fundamental guided wave modes do not possess cut-off property, but higher order modes do. The cut-off thickness of a particular mode is the minimum thickness required for that mode to travel through the guided medium. The invention uses a wide-bands of frequency and wavelength to generate the modes using appropriate magnets and excitation signal shape to provide a low cost and rapid evaluation of remnant thickness of structure.
