1 Ultrasonic Testing using a unipolar pulse by Y. Udagawa* and T. Shiraiwa** *Imaging Supersonic Laboratories Co.,Ltd Tezukayamanakamachi Nara Japan Abstract Krautkramer Japan Co.,Ltd Sumida 1-chome Higashiosaka Japan Characteristics and advantage of ultrasonic testing using a unipolar pulse, which has plus amplitude only or minus amplitude only, have been studied theoretically and experimentally together with study of ordinary method. Ordinary ultrasonic testing uses a burst waves or a short pulse that has alternative amplitudes (called current method). In this case, intensifying and weakening of wave result from overlapping of converged waves according to their phase differences. However, in the case of a unipolar pulse, only intensifying occurs. This gives following significant effects to ultrasonic testing. 1. In the near-distance field of a transducer, sound pressure of a long sinusoidal transmitted wave oscillates according to the distance from the transducer. One of a short transmitted pulse having alternative amplitudes has peaks at both sides of the near field. On the other hand, in the new method, the sound pressure of a pulse has constant distribution and also the pulse energy, which is sum of the waves emitted from all points of the transducer, becomes large. This gives inspection of a constant and high sensitivity in the near-distance field. 2. In the coarse grain materials such as concrete and firebrick, ultrasonic beam is scattered by grains and it reduces the received intensity and inspection of such material is difficult. At an observing point, many scattered waves, which have phase differences, are received. In the current method, intensifying by interference of scattered waves is limited. In the new method, intensifying of pulse energy is not limited by interference and pulse length is elongated. Then, we can get a pulse of large total intensity. This enables us inspection of coarse grain materials, by using a receiving amplifier of frequency band appropriate to the received elongated pulse. 2. Introduction A transmitter, that can emit a unipolar pulse, has been developed and ultrasonic testing using such a pulse has become possible. Ordinary ultrasonic testing uses a sinusoidal wave pulse of narrow or wide frequency band, of which amplitude oscillates plus and minus alternatively. There are cases where the acoustic field is made from superpose of many waves of different phases in the medium under the ultrasonic testing and interference between those dipolar pulses causes intensifying and weakening of the superposed pulse. Intensifying is limited in the range of phase difference smaller than 1
2 18 degrees. If it is over 18 degrees, interference acts as compensation. When the phase difference has constant distribution, the superposed intensity is an average intensity of the pulse, which is usually zero value. On the other hand, interference between unipolar pulses causes intensifying only. When the phase difference is over the pulse length, the length of superposed pulse is elongated and total energy of it increases. Above-mentioned phenomena give the significant effect on the ultrasonic testing. In the present paper, those effects are investigated by numerical simulation for two cases, near field of the transducer and a pulse in the coarse grain materials. 3. Near field of a plane circular transducer of a unipolar pulse 3.1. Calculation Numerical calculation of acoustic field of a transducer was carried on the following equation, f ( t r / v) P = ds r S (1) Where P is acoustic pressure at an observing point, f is acoustic pressure of the transmitted pulse, t is time, r is distance from the source to the observing point, v is sound velocity and S means transducer surface. A transducer is plane and circular and the diameter is 2. Linear dimension is normalized by wavelength and time is normalized by period. These are shown in Fig.1. Calculation was done on the following three pulses. Pulse 1. A unipolar pulse which is one quota period of sinusoidal wave Pulse 2. An asymmetric sinusoidal pulse of one and half of waves as a represent of short pulse Pulse 3. A sinusoidal pulse of four waves as a represent of burst wave These pulses are shown in Fig Result and discussion Results of calculation are shown in Fig.3. X and Z is Z Transducer X,Z Fig.1.

3 shown in Fig.1. Z of 1 is so called transition point from near field to far field. In the figure, the maximum amplitude of pulse is plotted. In (b) and (c), the maximum amplitudes of plus and minus amplitude of pulse are shown. As shown in Fig.3 (a), near field of Pulse 1, a unipolar pulse, has constant distribution near the transducer surface and its width decreases as Z. Near field of Pulse 2, asymmetric sinusoidal pulse of waves, is shown in Fig.3 (b). The plus amplitude has constant distribution but minus amplitude has a peak at the side of distribution, of which reason will be shown in later. Fig. 3 (c) shows near field of Pulse 3, sinusoidal pulse of 4 waves. The amplitude fluctuates as well known. Calculation of eq.(1) also gives the pulse shape and they are shown in Fig.4 for the representative points. In order to understand the calculation result especially for the oscillating pulse, we consider the results on the central axis of transducer. On the central axis of the transducer, Z axis in Fig.1, eq.(1) can be expressed as a following analytical form, because of compensation of r factors. r = sin ( ) = 2 ( ) = 2 t r θ P f t t dφdx π f t t dr πv r r L (a) Pulse 1, unipolar pulse t T f ( t t) d( t) Z=25 (+) (2).

Received pulse shape at point (X,Z) for pulse 1,2 and 3 Abscissa is time in period and ordinate is amplitude of same magnitude as Fig.2. Start of each pulse is shifted by.25. eq.(2) is further limited by the source position. The lower limit of t is the shortest travelling time and the upper one is the longest travelling time. If there is no limitation for them and eq.(2) is integrated over domain of T, it is zero for ordinary oscillating pulse, dipolar pulse. It has practical value only for integral over time domain smaller 4
5 than T. That is, eq.(2) is not zero for the first arrival pulse group and the last arrival one. Eq.(2) can be converted for those time domain as following respectively, except constant terms, τ T f ( τ ) dτ (2a), and f ( τ ) dτ f ( τ) dτ (2b). Where starts at the arrival time of first pulse in (2a) and at the arrival time of end pulse in (2b) and the first term of (2b) is usually zero.. For a unipolar pulse, eq.(2) is not zero because of no cancellation of interference. As shown in a left figure of Fig.4 (a) for a unipolar pulse, the pulse succeeds the first integrated pulse continuously, and the total pulse length is elongated in the range of arrival time delay. The pulse length decreases with Z and it becomes as same as the transmitted pulse at Z=1 which is the transition point from the near field to the far field. The left figure of Fig.4 (b) shows received pulse shape of Pulse 2, asymmetric sinusoidal pulse of waves, on the central axis. It is clearly shown in the figure for Z=25, that the pulse is composed by two peaks, the arrival peak and the end peak which are given by eq.(2a) and (2b). The end peak looks like as if it starts from the transducer edge. This is a same phenomenon as the edge scattering. Interference of both pulses gives distributions in Fig.3. The left figure of Fig. 4 (c) can be interpreted in the same way. At positions off the central axis, the pulse shape becomes more complex because of r factor. But principle of formation of pulse shape is same Section Conclusion A received pulse of a unipolar pulse in the near field has shape of elongated unipolar pulse. The peak amplitude is given by integral of emitted pulse and the width is given by the delay of pulse emitted from the transducer edge. The peak amplitude distributes uniformly and it is useful for inspection of constant sensitivity. τ 4. Unipolar pulse in the coarse grain material Reflection of ultrasonic pulse at grain boundaries in the coarse grain materials such as concrete attenuates the transmitting pulse. This is a main reason of difficulty of ultrasonic testing of such materials. Reflected pulse also travels in the material. Acoustic field in the material is sum of the directly transmitted pulse and many reflected pulses. However those pulses have delay of arrival time because of different travelling distances. The superposed pulse of them is given as result of their interference. A unipolar pulse intensifies each other by interference. The delay of arrival pulse elongates the superposed pulse. On the other hand, dipolar pulses intensify and compensate each other by interference. 5
6 4.1 Numerical simulation Calculation was done on the following assumption. Attenuation is caused by the grain boundary reflection. Reflection direction is isotropic and the reflection points distribute uniformly. Only the primary reflection is included in the calculation. The secondary and the tertiary reflections and so on are neglected. Linear dimension is normalized by wavelength. The sound pressure is calculated in the far field. Integration is given by the following equation. S ds V µ f ( t)exp( µ ( R1 + R2))/(4πR1R2) dv (3) Where is attenuation coefficient and V is volume in which reflection occurs. Distance R1 and R2 are shown in Fig.5. If the reflection induces phase change, sign of eq.(3) is inverted Result and discussion Transducer Fig.5 shows pulse shapes of a received pulse for a unipolar pulse of Fig.2 observed at Z=1. The transducer is a circular one of radius 1. Ordinate is the same magnitude as Fig.2. In R1 Fig.5 a directly transmitted pulse and a superposed pulse of scattered pulses are shown. Legth of the superposed reflected Z pulse is very long compared to the emitted pulse. In Fig.6, shape of received pulse at Z=1 for a sinusoidal R2 pulse of waves, Pulse 2 in Fig.2, emitted from the same Fig.5 Integration of transducer is shown. The length of superposed pulse of reflected pulse reflected pulse is same as the length of transmitted pulse. The same result is obtained for Pulse 3. In comparison of Fig.5 and Fig. 6, The most significant difference is length of pulse. Reflected unipolar pulses compose a long pulse, but reflected dipolar pulses can not form a long pulse because of interference. Pulse energy becomes large as pulse length. Then we can detect the intense unipolar pulse by using an amplifier, which has an appropriate low frequency band. Above-mentioned result is right qualitatively although it is not correct quantitatively because of rough assumption. If there is phase change at reflection and the secondary reflections occur, results become more complex Section Conclusion A unipolar pulse has low frequency component as well known in function and it is sometimes thought that it can penetrate the coarse grain materials. However the present calculation shows that the superposition of scattered pulses having various delay times gives long pulse length and large energy to the transparent pulse. This result suggests that the transmission of a unipolar pulse and receiving it by an amplifier of low frequency band is effective for ultrasonic testing of coarse grain materials. 6

Experimental Result Figure 8 shows examples of experimental results using a uniopolar pulse. Fig.8(a) is a transmitted pulse received in front of the transducer which is 2MHz and 2mm diameter. Fig.8 (b) and (c) are pulses passed through a concrete slab of 25mm thickness and a cork plate of 25mm thickness respectively. Both materials are very difficult to inspect by ultrasonic testing because a usual ultrasonic pulse cannot pass through them. In the present case, using a unipolar pulse, pulses transmitted through them can been obtained. However, the spatial conditions inside of such materials are very different, point to point. Then, in the present experiment, data obtained for many different points were summed. As shown in Fig.8, pulse length of transmitted pulse is about 2 micro seconds and received pulse lengths after passing through concrete and cork are a few tens of micro seconds. This means that many delayed pulses through materials 7
8 superpose and make a long pulse. 6. Conclusion Characteristics of ultrasonic testing using a unipolar pulse have been studied by numerical simulation and experiment, and following results have been obtained. (1) Unipolar pulses which have phase delays make a long superposed pulse, in contrast to the dipolar pulse in which superposition effect is limited by interference. To detect the superposed pulse it is better to use an amplifier of frequency band matched it. (2) In the near field of transducer, a unipolar pulse gives a constant field. (3) A unipolar pulse can pass through medium, which has large grains, such as concrete and cork. It enables us to inspect such materials by the ultrasonic testing Time in microsec (a) Transmitted pulse 5 1 Time in microsec (b) Received pulse after passing through concrete of 25mm t Time in microsec (c) Received pulse after passing through cork of 25mm t.
