Liquid–Solid Interface Waves with Laser Ultrasonic and Mirage Effect

We experimentally investigate the transparent-liquid/solid (water/aluminum or steel) interface waves generated by laser pulses and detected by the Mirage effect. It is shown that nearly all kinds of liquid/solid interface waves in water are detected, both their measured wave velocities and characteristic of shape are in good agreement with theoretical predictions.

Simulation and analysis on ultrasonic testing for the cement grouting defects of the corrugated pipe

The defects exist in the cement grouting process of prestressed corrugated pipe may directly impair the bridge safety. In this paper, sound fields propagation in concrete structures with corrugated pipes and the influence of various different defects are simulated and analyzed using finite element method. The simulation results demonstrate a much complex propagation characteristic due to multiple reflection, refraction and scattering, where the scattering signals caused by metal are very strong, while the signals scattered by an air bubble are weaker. The influence of defect both in time and frequency domain are found through deconvolution treatment. In the time domain, the deconvolution signals correspond to larger defect display a larger head wave amplitude and shorter arrive time than those of smaller defects; in the frequency domain, larger defect also shows a stronger amplitude, lower center frequency and lower cutoff frequency.
